I always like meeting a fellow stutterer, however, I do recognize that this trait we share is ultimately secondary to their personality. I don't want someone to be my friend just because I stutter, I ...

Happened to me freshman year in college. I noticed this guy had really small blocks when he asked questions. I came up to him and asked him if he stuttered and he said yes. I told him I did too and th...

I have had this happen a few times, too. I think some of it may be due to that many times we feel self-conscious about our stutter and we may be comparing our stutters (for example, how you brought up...

Stuttering isn't curable but it can be tolerable. You're young, you've found this subreddit (how I wish this existed when I was 15) and you have years to figure it out. Things will change. It won't ge...

I'm concerned you're in a bad family situation if they know you have a stutter and still moan when you try to talk. That's incredibly rude and hurtful. Find yourself a support group, a lot of colleges...

It really doesn’t take too long. I’d text for a day or two and see how receptive she is. If we keep the texting going then after a few days we’d meet up. I’ve learned from experience that it’s always ...

Friends of friends are the way to go. Approaching random women at the bar has too many social stipulations and weirdness. Meeting someone at a friend's party ( for example) adds a level of comfort to ...

My own friends would walk away from me when we'd pass the "cool" kids so they don't get embarrassed. Then when they're gone they'd come back and act as if nothing happened :/ I've never really had any...

Look dude friends come and go. The idea of having friends that last a lifetime is mostly a myth. Realistically you might only have one or two friends like that in your lifetime and that's pushing it. ...
