As a woman, I can’t know exactly what it’s like for men to find romantic partners. But I’m also a lesbian and have been in some good, healthy relationships with women, in addition to some fun flings in college. The biggest thing I’ve learned with my stutter is that people, generally, will respond to it by how you respond to it. Especially when you’re meeting people and getting to know them. If you hit a block or have a rough moment and start to withdraw from the conversation, make yourself smaller, and seem uncomfortable, they will see your discomfort and reciprocate it. If you have a crazy ass stuttering moment, smile, and carry on with what you were saying, they will see that you are comfortable with your stutter which will make them more comfortable. This is definitely harder than it sounds. Over the course of our lives, we’re taught that stuttering is bad, we witness poor listener reactions and go through hell just to make sure that we’re heard. There is so much shame involved in stuttering that affects our self image and confidence. I’m not advocating that stuttering is good or bad, it’s just the way we talk. Your stutter will help you weed out the people who aren’t worthy of your time. That’s a big pro of stuttering. Some people will be rude and mean, but that happens in all sorts of relationships whether it’s romantic, friendship, coworkers, family, etc. Do you have any hobbies? That’s always a great way to meet people. That way you have something in common that you can do together, talk about, share.
