ohhhhh, no no. I don't "perform/impersonate/accent" anymore. That was just an excersize I used to analyze my stutter. I'm a performer for a living, but I don't put on an act, or accent, or anything ...

I hope I find a girlfriend one day who loves me all for who I am. I’m 21 years old and have never had one before. My stutter definitely doesn’t make it any easier to try to find one either, but noneth...

My girlfriend loves me no doubt even if I stutter. When I stutter and give up on words she makes me finish my sentence no matter what. I don’t know what she sees in me but I’m glad she sees it...

You’re a lucky man. I had a similar relationship in high school, but had to break it off due to long distance in college. I think if the girl is genuine and likes you for who you are, she has no pro...
