First post (its a long one, TLDR at bottom) on TRP, but I've been a reader for over a year. Would appreciate some advice on this topic. I've got a pretty good grasp of TRP basics, but I have a fairly uncommon extra hurdle to work through: being a s-s-stutterer.
Background:
Age 24, freshly minted professional starting out in the finance sector after 6 years of post-secondary. Decent income, no major debt. Work out 3 times a week and am in good shape, have a very well put together wardrobe, a car, and my own apartment. Basically a very solid base to work from here.
However, I've had a moderate stutter since I was a kid that has slightly affected my self-confidence in social settings, and particularly around women.
My dating life hasn't been a lost cause; I was fairly socially awkward throughout high school and college with a ton of blue-pill beta tendencies and didn't get laid until 22, but have gotten 10 notches and a couple mini relationships over the past 2 years since I started reading up on and applying manosphere content. I have noticed that my posture, body language, and the way I carry myself have all improved since I started lifting a few years ago. In that regard TRP has already been huge for me.
Overall my self confidence is actually pretty high these days, but my problem is that I find it difficult to hold frame during conversation, maintain amused mastery over a women, or build rapport and sexual tension through witty banter given my linguistic challenges.
I'm finding it challenging to fully internalize the core tenets of the Pill (You are the prize, abundance mentality, she's the one auditioning to you) when my ability in such a core aspect of human-to-human interactions is hindered.
Are there other TRP readers with speech impediments that have found ways to successful overcome this hurdle? What advice or strategies can you impart? Should I be focusing on "strong-silent" game and striving to communicate confidence, value and giving her tingles more through subliminal body language and less through spoken words?
I generally try to keep the fact that I have a stutter hidden, and rarely disclose that I have it even after openly stuttering, but I think this might be hurting me more than just bringing it out into the open when I first meet someone, as I feel like I have something to hide from people, which seems like a defeatist, defensive mindset to be working from.
TL;DR:
Have stutter, conversations with women are challenging
TRP lifestyle bases are otherwise covered
How to internalize TRP despite this?
Advice from TRPer's with stutters?
Muchas gracias in advance
