It's an interesting point for sure. I have a very mild to moderate stutter that really only crops on weird occasions - but primarily when I'm frustrated, or very very nervous. I've accepted the fact t...

Some good stuff here IMO. Speaking as someone who is now a mostly non-stuttering stutterer I like section #2. I'm the sort of guy who cared a little too much what other people think, but once I got ...

Don't worry about it, honestly. If you stutter around a woman and she is confused, simply explain it to her. Some times girls think it's cute to see something like that. If a girl rejects you because ...
