I definitely wasn't lonely. I had a bunch of friends 1st-4th grade. I even had one girl interested in me that I rejected because I thought "we were too young" (And I think I am right in thinking that). 5th - 10th grade I was the typical video-gamer with the unkempt hair. I had friends to play League of Legends with, but I always used to find playing single-player games more enjoyable. I got invited to the birthday parties of around 5-10 of my friends. I think that is pretty normal for a video-game nerd even without a stutter. 11th-12th grade I drastically improved my appearance, my social skills, my stutter & started a business. I think I lived a pretty normal childhood from a social standpoint. My stutter is mild & am a covert stutterer, so I can't imagine what a heavy stutterer goes through. I know for sure that they feel the same feelings of being an outsider, who can't manage to do the most important skill in life - speaking. I know their pain. That is why I am helping them with my YT channel & coaching. (BTW one person already booked their time slot, for anyone else interested here is my coaching link: [calendly.com/viktorzashev50/coaching](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=channel_header&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbERGWkp2X2dCeUdhbkVVblI1bFpoV1pYd0N4d3xBQ3Jtc0tsUUt3YW9palFRdUQ3YkR3cWRmT2JLeG5Sd3dYWXFVeEkySFdDRURPUnlPcFRBcjdiTDhyZXNDM2Zram1ac0hlTXVZV3hMeVZoOF9ZcEFxZ0ZLeHVzZVBsS2UyT0JhdU5yZjBBY3hNR1VDOXBfUWNtOA&q=https%3A%2F%2Fcalendly.com%2Fviktorzashev50%2Fcoaching)). TLDR: I had a normal, "not the popular kid", childhood.
