Dating?

Hey girlypops I’m 22 and have never been in a real ass relationship nor have I really gone on any dates 😭 so I guess I just wanted to know how stuttering has affected y’all’s dating/love life, if at all? So if anyone has any stories or insight or experiences good or bad regarding this please share because I’m scared of dating for this reason lol (also in general it’s scary to me but the stutter does have a part in my fear 💀). which is crazy because I’ve gotten much better about not letting it hinder me (mentally) in other aspects of my life. But dating I have not come to terms with lmao

I feel like I am supposed to be someone else

Hi all you beautiful women, first of all thank you for making this sub.

secondly, I am 27F, have been stuttering my whole life. I have a job and a fair amount of friends, to the extent that I am certainly not lonely, mostly because I have a supportive family as well. however, I have always felt like I was supposed to be a more talkative and bubbly person. The part of the world I am from, women are expected to be yappers and pleasant people. My stutter results in me absolutely avoiding any unnecessary conversation, so much so that I think at this point I am introverted.

I cannot help but wonder what my life would be like without it, If I was just a normal woman, a talkative, bubbly, loud, expressive woman. Don't know if any of you guys feel the same... but this is just something I wanted to express here.

Thank you
