Here's something to think about: Why do you have to accept you'll always stutter? What's the issue with believing you can be a smooth speaker? You can accept yourself as the person that you are by e...

Start slow with talking to female friends. Over time, you will build a foundation of confidence. You will also get used to talking to girls who know you stutter and you will get comfortable with that ...

Ok, I'll say something. It's not about this video specifically, which is great, but in general about what you're teaching. I think you have great energy and really care about helping people. I th...

I've overcome my stutter - but that's beside the point I'm making. Take your focus away from your speech and focus on the present moment. Helps you to relax and stops you from being inside your head s...

Hope everything is alright. I know how easy it is to be consumed by your stutter on dates. We place so much emphasis on our ability to "perform" - especially on dates. But let me tell you, there's mor...

All I can say is better to try and "fail" than not try at all (which is the real failure). I've had nice girls who I couldn't click with because everything felt too unnatural. But there have been girl...

Life goes on. Stutterers aren't alone in having bad dates and difficulties finding relationships. Confidence can overcome anything. I'm guessing it was a girl you spoke to online/hadn't met in person...

Depends on how you deal with your stutter. If you stutter openly and don't let it hold you back, it will make you memorable in a positive way. People will think you're brave and look up to you....
