Thank you everyone for your words of support and your advice. We had a snow day on Wednesday, so unfortunately it got pushed back all the way to March 18. Yeah. Ugh. Fml. I do feel a lot more comfort...

They already know you stutter, and if your content is good you're well off. If anyone thinks you're a stuttering freak then they are a bunch of fucking morons....

I find that ultimately any girl worth your time and affection won't mind or won't notice. I know from my various relationships (and friendships) that most people stop noticing the stutter unless it...

Thanks for your reply. I understand what you're saying and I'm sorry I can't do anything to change how you feel about it. All I can say is that it's genuine. And nothing to do with how it's portrayed ...

The best speech therapist I ever had was a stutterer too. It was great to see him use the techniques that he was teaching me at the time. Yes, there were some days when one of us would be less fluent...

SLP here- I've known of several SLPs who stutter. I believe it would help you be a better, more empathetic therapist, which is really the most important trait in the field. ...

I agree! How else could someone who doesn't stutter reeeeallly understand the struggles and complexities of stuttering? I've seen many SLPs who stutter and I wouldn't have a problem with that....

My experience is just like this. Once in one I have been fine. If the person truly cares about you they won't care about the stutter. Its meeting new people and striking up conversations is the hard p...

It's more like "*and* that"... Not just that. But I see what you mean, although I found it flattering when a guy once told me they like my ears, even though I don't. I'm not saying you should like i...

For me, most of my stuttering happen when I am nervous. I think you should take deep breathes and try to calm yourself. I try to do it on a daily basis and it helps. Also, stuttering is not as bad as ...

Yup, I've heard lots of people say that (especially when a celebrity like Gareth Gates stutters). But this is more than 'cute'... it's a physical turn on, it's hot! And yes it can become an obstacle ...
