I can confirm that what you said is true. Ive been thinking and taking action in a similar way for about 5 months now, and the result has been amazing, I have made progress in these past 5 month regar...

Everybody is vulnerable to judgements when meeting someone. Whether they are fat, skinny, short, tall, have a lisp, stutter, twitch, etc. Everyone has something they could feel vulnerable about and us...

Thank you for this post. I’ve been prescribed benzodiazepines as well, and yes, my stuttering reduced. Eventually, I acclimated to that dose and it didn’t have a positive affect on my speech anymore...

wow, this hit home, so much so that I relate to everything you typed, esp. about exposing your vulnerability, and finding meaningful connections with other human beings. I listen to other people with...

Yeah avoidances aren’t really that great. I can get by in a conversation by changing words around but that’s not “helping” anything....

Don't try to flirt. Just talk to people. Trying to flirt often comes off as creepy. It's all just confidence. The stutter can actually work in your favour. I think it's actually very disarming especi...

Dates can be tricky since we're nervous even without a stutter. Add in a stutter and we're bound to stutter to more cuz we're nervous. Best to just try not to focus on your stutter but the conversatio...

This is a really tough thing. I struggled with this a lot in my teens and early 20's. That being said... It's not your stutter that will get in the way. I always thought the stutter was my problem. ...

It depends on your personality. If you don’t have a flirtatious personality you shouldn’t force it otherwise you will not be comfortable during a conversation. Just be yourself and speak naturally eve...

I'm not super experienced but I have been in a couple relationships and currently in one. I've never "flirted" because it's seems creepy to me. Nevertheless I've still been successful. Wait for her ...

It's just me but I think I talk better on video call, would rather see their face and talk and show my camera above my mouth so they think it's just internet issues 😂. Whatever works I guess....
