Thank you for sharing your personal experience. I know for a fact it is in my head since the opinion of my SO in terms of my sexiness is what I care about and even though he reassures me I've seen vid...

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...

He's never said anything about me not being sexy, this is all my own opinion of myself. I know it doesn't bother him but I hate the sound of my own voice so I dunno. Thanks for your kind words, means ...

It definitely is me, no question about, my SO has been really cool about it and the one time I mentioned being turned off by it he said I was nuts, so please no hate for him. This is just me being bot...

I only stutter on a minor basis now but my worst was in middle school and high school and I didn't really get better until I had jobs which forced me to talk. They were sales jobs and If I wanted to m...

Why do you consider it embarrassment? Sure, people will notice, and some might get annoyed or something, but biggest impression that people will end up having is your attitude. Try not to give a shit....

Talking can be embaressing but as soon as the conversation is over I completely forget about it. It is daunting speaking to people I don't know but I'm just used to it I guess. Think of it this way......

I'm sorry, but I laughed a lot at 'I blink a lot.' So here's the deal. I'm 26 too, I have a block as well. It gets in the way of work sometimes (bartender), but, like you, I try not to let it *get in...
