I would go on it. She seems interested now so i think you should give it a go and not wait until things are "right". I also wouldnt put a lot of pressure on yourself to make jokes or be super charming...

I'm married now, and I know it's harder than it sounds, but I was never subconscious going on dates because I believed that the "right' person wouldn't care. If this girl does, that's that. As you s...

Yeah, that sounds really similar to me. It's hard to say how frequent just because it's always been there, albeit more controlled at some times than others. But just to give you an idea, on my first...

Interesting! How frequent is (was) your stutter pre-medication? I am also in my early 30's. I have stuttered all of my life, and although it is much more controlled now, it still inhibits me from smo...

Guanfacine - almost curing my stutter

Guanfacine - almost curing my stutter I'm in my early 30's and have stuttered all my life. I'm also relatively skinny (6'0, 157), which I mention only because Guanfacine is normally prescribed to chil...

It sounds like you're psyching yourself out. and you're doing it to protect yourself. and I use humor much the same way. Anyway, it is scary and nervous but that's good. you dont want to be comfortab...

Hey man, congrats on finding a gig! You can do it! Yes, you might have bad days but you will probably have some great ones too. The important thing is that you're getting out there and trying your bes...

So I'm starting work experience tomorrow...

So I'm starting work experience tomorrow... I'm 21 and I've never had a job, I've let my stutter hold me back and I suck for it. Not looking for sympathy, it's my fault, but it's somewhat relevant to...

I always tell about my stuttering beforehand. The problem I find is that people dont know what it actualy means, at least not for me anyway. The main problem for me isnt that I get stuck on words, its...

Good advice. Thanks!...

Does she know that you stutter? If not, maybe broadcast that before you two get together. That way, she knows what to expect. Maybe that will take some of the onus off of your stutter. If you both...

Plan out your main convo, and it'll be easier. I used to have a 'go-to' list of first date questions and convo. Ex: What 3 superpowers would you choose, which animal ability would you want most? Be ch...

I try to meet new people and to talk a lot, even if it's way out of my comfort zone. Last year for example: i went alone to a festival and just tried to have a good time meeting new people....

So, should I cancel a date?

So, should I cancel a date? Been going thru a rough time, have had a couple of big life changes the last year or so, one is a breakup with my gf since like 5 years. Things been adding up and I have ha...

Can you provide some tips on how you're working on your anxiety?...

Of course we can have a good life, not dictacted by our speech. :) But those moments aren't even dependent on us actually performing flawlessly. ;)...

Thanks everyone for the kind words, it really means a lot !...

I know exactly what you mean. I had just joined college and I was giving the first presentation of my life. I had been stressing over it for weeks and I was 100% sure that I would embarrass myself in ...

Yep, except in my image its a total cement wall over the mouth :P...

Thank you so much for this advice and taking the time to write it. What better way to improve myself in this area than to hear from those who go through it and empathize. Now, to actually apply this i...
