I can’t approach girls because of my stuttering problem And i feel a failure because of that... in 18 years, i couldn’t make friends and approach a single girl. Every time i want to say something, i just stop and can’t say it, and all my classmates judge me because of that too. My difficulty with girls might also be related to my low self esteem due to the fact that i’m severely balding... but this post is just about my stuttering Any suggestions? Anything motivational? Personal experiences would be very appreciated too!
