Yeah I am really liking this. I am going to be doing some summer sessions as well! Thankfully my school has a Speech Clinic. The part about your break-up hit me a bit...mainly it kind of hit my fear...

My stutter is very, very mild, so I guess I'm one of the lucky few, but, I just want to say that it's not really affected me in any way what so ever, I've met girls on blind dates, i've met other girl...

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...

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...

As a teen about to turn 20, it's been absolute hell on my social development. Just now in my second year of college am I learning how to have a sizable number of friends. Speaking to strangers is an e...

As others here have said, it definitely made me much more anxious about meeting people and perhaps more closed off than I would be otherwise. I in fact have never started a relationship from a casual ...

Well, meeting new people is somewhat harsh. I tend to be an introvert, so I hardly would make a move trying to pick up a "random" girl or something. But I've had my share of dates, and they go well. ...

Been in one relationship so far which lasted for 4 years. We talked about it a bit, mostly since she was curious but it never affected relationship we had neither in positive nor negative way. Broke u...

I want to say it doesn't get in the way of me meeting people, as I'm normally social when calm, but it does. There have been plenty of moments where I would have probably made new friends/connections ...

Stuttering & Relationships

Stuttering & Relationships Hello! I’ve been following this subreddit for a few months and thought you might be able to provide some insight for me. I’m studying SLP and some peers and I are lookin...

O shucks, stop yourself. I just had a little thing last night where I stuttered while the mood was set. It's not a big deal. Keep your head held high and let your body do the talking if necessary. I b...

You know, reading your comment made me feel a hell of a lot better about this and you are absolutely right. If I stutter trying to be sexy who cares? He knows I do and accepts me the way I am and I sh...

Girl. I bet you look clean and fantastic, and I guarantee your SO would love to fix that and get you all messy ;). Though easier said than done, I bet your SO thinks you look fantastic and isn't tur...

All the blocks, weak tone of voice, and general no confidence I exhibit makes me feel unattractive. I guess that's why I'm 25 and never had a girlfriend. @OP, I wouldn't worry about your situation. Y...

I know what you mean. In my class, I'm fairly popular as in many people look up to me because of my social nature (and yes, I stutter) and good grades. Then, it was time for oral presentations and I f...

I hate how down I get about it and how I can get an off putting attitude because of it. Lately we haven't been going on dates (saving up since we are moving soon) but when the time comes I'd love to n...

You've mentioned a really big obstacle for me. I've had women show interest but I push them away. It kills my self esteem and makes me feel really unsexy. I've accepted that I'll probably always stutt...

Sounds like you are the one feeling the bad vibes, and not your SO. They chose you so its pretty unrealistic they actually gets turn off by your stutter. MIght be turnd off by you getting turned off t...

I think people who are turned off by a stutter are likely to be relatively shallow, and not at a place in their life where they could access the deep compassion you need to offer in order to have a go...
