Please share your dating experiences, tips and advice I'm in college and never dated before in my life because of the fear of the impression my stutter would create. However recently, I've been overco...

I mean yea, it sucks sometimes. But it's also a built in douche bag detector, and those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind. Just focus on yourself man. Forgive yourself for it, a lo...

I have read that a lot of people don't stutter when they put on an accent. It's not really a practical cure as it's not normal to use a fake accent all the time! I guess though subtly altering your ...

Yeah, I thin that has to do with the part of the brain that uses conscious effort. As soon as it becomes easy and automatic the stutter comes right back. Isn’t this the case with foreign languages t...

Seems you don't have the luxury to stop, so you have to keep up the phone usage. That's the only logical conclusion. Perhaps make a phone pact with someone, where you have to call (at least) once a da...

Smiling and laughing can be a reaction to uncomfortableness. It used to bother me more, but now I just assume that is why. They don't want to be offensive but don't know how to respond. What does upse...
