Absolutely. This honestly goes for any guy(stuttering or not) but do whatever you can to increase your confidence. Hit the gym, get a hair cut, whiten your teeth, etc. I also like to joke about my ...

Everyone has some "defect" whether big or small. Stuttering doesn't make someone unlikeable, and in the adult work people USUALLY don't care whether you stutter or not. It's nearly impossible not to...

Sorry, I missed this! If it’s helpful, I think it is helpful to allow yourself to be bothered, but for the right reason. It’s natural to be frustrated - embrace it! However, I would let the frustratio...
