Hi there. I’m 26 years old . In Ukraine, I have not yet met a single woman who would not say that she does not care about my stuttering and that she thinks it is cute. I was on different parties where you don’t know anyone and it’s really hard to start a conversation but I realised that nobody cares about stuttering. Use stuttering as a weapon. It was my friend’s birthday party 2 years ago I came up to a girl, I asked if she had two option what would you choose - lisping or stuttering, she said she would lisp rather than stutter and I said that I already chose stutter. I don’t know how it sounds for you, but she laughed as hell. Now we are still together and very happy to have each other. I still nervous on working meetings, I still nervous when I meet new people, I still nervous on interviews. But I decided that I do not care what people will think about my stutter and I don’t care if they judge or make laugh about me. I wish you the best, I hope my story helped somehow to you
