I have a lot more confidence. I like it. I do stupid annoying things at times but I just gotta go with it and not over analyze. Over analyzing is so pointless imo I think I was always an extravert, ...

That'd be me. I love hanging out with friends and meeting new people. I guess I just forced myself to do it. If I couldn't get a word right, I wouldn't let that get me down - I just use a synonym and ...

I don't really date, but it's not because of my stutter. Depending on severity, I think a stutter is just another impediment - and we all have problems. I've had girls express interest even after hear...

It's sweet that she said that, but I think the idea of someone finding my stutter attractive would turn me off just due to my history. I'm fine with open discussion and them being curious but I'd draw...
