No, you are not alone in feeling this way. Many people who stutter may feel like their stutter is a significant obstacle to finding love or a romantic partner. However, it's important to remember that love and relationships are about much more than just fluent speech. There are countless examples of successful, happy relationships that involve people who stutter. In relation to this, I launched the first Slack-based support group for professionals who stutter. This is an important initiative that provides a safe and supportive space for people who stutter to connect with others who share their experiences. The fact that the community already has close to 200 members, most of whom are US-based professionals in tech, finance, healthcare, or sales/marketing, is a testament to the need for such a community. Being part of a supportive community like this can be incredibly helpful for building confidence and self-esteem. It can also provide opportunities to learn from others and develop new skills for navigating social situations. I encourage you and anyone else who may be struggling with their stutter to join the community for free at [www.stutterfreely.com](http://www.stutterfreely.com). Building deeper connections with other PWS within your field of work can be a great way to gain support and find encouragement to pursue your goals and dreams, including finding love and a fulfilling romantic relationship. Cheers to personal growth!
