Meeting people makes me nervous too, but I figure it's better to message, regardless of the result than not. The worst thing that can happen us it doesn't go anywhere or they don't reply, but that's a...

How did the conversation actually go? Be proud of yourself that you even approached. That in itself is painfully hard, even for many non-stutterers. As for people judging you for your stutter, unfort...

Listen man. I'm 6'6" and when I was 19, I had no idea how to even speak to a girl. I'd constantly be in the friend zone. Just be a nice guy and you'll learn your way to meeting the right girl. You...

I would need more info on #1. What do you do when you meet people. Why do you think it doesn't seem to work out? I find being an immigrant to be an advantage when it comes to friends since I have frie...

Here's my view on it. I'm in my early 20s and have stuttered since elementary school. It sucks. It really does. I understand that it's not something that I can change. And as you already know, life ...

Keep in there. Most all of us have had absolutely awful, embarrassing situations like this happen to us, but maybe not quite always as severe. Being humiliated like this is always very hard. I know t...

I've been a Redditor for six years and don't want to risk doxing myself, so I created this new account as more of a public profile account. Thank you so much for posting about the Stutter Social hang...

There is an NSA chapter there. I used to go to the meetings when I was working up in Irvine. They held meetings in the Kaiser building in Irvine so you should definitely go to them....

Just stay the course. Keep your head up. If you're American, look up the National Stuttering Association, Friends, or SAY. 16 is a hard time for anyone, it's especially hard for a stutterer. I promise...

Hey Somack. It really is a hard thing. One not many can overcome just through sheer will. I will tell you, what's made the biggest difference for me and other people I know, is meeting other people wh...

I actually have a hard time being around stutterers, since it keeps reflecting back on me (or however we should describe it). I guess not everyone feels that way, or maybe I just haven't be "climatize...

For the most part, I've "dealt" with tolerant and patient people. I don't do cons, or local tourneys though, so it's mostly play group stuff with the occasional new person. I will say that I generall...

I'm part of a local Subaru group on Facebook and I interact with the people on there, but I have yet to attend one of their weekly meetings. I keep telling myself I will, but I never do. I don't know ...

I lose my train of thought all the time while talking and start to jibber jabber about...or stumble over my words. I attribute it to my diagnosed ADHD taking over, especially when I'm in a situation ...

It's scary, and even though I have a severe stutter too, everyone is pretty excited and wants to get to know each other. Might sound like stupid advice, but dont put too much pressure on yourself or w...

There have been a couple threads on this with some good information if you want to do a search. The basic info is that everyone is different and people are at different levels with how they feel abo...

I've given up trying to socialize with new people. It isn't an enjoyable experience. I talk to my family and two friends. And that is how it's going to be for a long time....

When I was younger, I had maybe three guys that I considered friends. Even though I was known in the group as the "funny kid", I never really talked to anyone either. I can understand your feeling of ...

Another thought. I don't talk for the sake of talking, or socializing. I am perfectly capable of speaking about myself and responding to questions in a clear and thorough manner during an interview bu...

I can relate...I honestly don't have that many friends now, but that's sort of my choice because I'd rather study / learn than waste time with most people. What does "being out there enjoying life" m...
