Help getting a girlfriend I'm 17 and i've missed like 3-4 opportunities of getting a gf. My stutter, insecurity, low self steem and 0 commitment have been my biggest obstacles for the last 2 years. My stutter varies alot, i don't stutter more with girls. In the last couple months i've seen a change in the way i think about my stutter. I went from trying to hide it all the time,like not talking if i know im going to stutter, to being more open about it. I'm just waiting for something like an automatic mind tweak that will that will make me think differently and leave all the insecurity aside. Well i just wanted to see if someone had gone throught the same and could give me some advice and hope
