Feel like stuttering prevents me from finding a relationship and it’s starting to get to me Finally decided to post in here to get some insight from people who might understand. For the past few years I’m trying to get out of my shell and try to approach and speak to women more because I know I won’t find anyone sitting at home. ut regardless of how much I try to accept it and be myself I can’t stop thinking about how stuttering is a turn off for women. I don’t think I’m perfect in other ways by any means but I think even when I talk to girls a big reason nobody finds me interesting enough for dating is because I stutter I can speak semi fluently and only struggle every few sentence with some words but I do have to think about every word I use to be as fluent as I can. Anyway I met a very nice girl at work and we started talking. I think we’re friends now, we talk and text about personal and not work related stuff as well. I don’t force it but I really like her and would like to date her. She’s smart funny and we have lots of things in common and I always look forward to meeting her at work. Maybe I’m not her type but I can’t help but think that even if she was interested in me, the fact that I stutter is something that makes her think I’m only good as a friend. I’m being myself and I think I’m not a boring person as I have tons of hobbies and interests, I’m not an introvert hermit who’s boring to talk to. Yet it’s really hard to find a meaningful connection with a woman. Idk if anyone here had a similar experience but I’d love to hear some insight from a 3rd person.
