You’ll have plenty of interested people at a NSA convention, especially since there are always more men than women.... You have to let people get to know you. The connection leads to the meaning. In order to do that you have to put yourself out there until you don’t care about your stutter. When you don’t care, others won’t either. If you can’t speak, technology can help. Get to know people online, be super up front about your stutter and if it’s too hard to talk in person, text. Try getting on a dating site and going out on first dates. They might suck but just keep meeting people and doing that first date thing over and over until you don’t care. Desensitization.
