I made a few friends. I actually found a group of friends starting out in college. We met through our programming class as we all took a bachelor's in computer science. I've already confessed to one of the guys that I have a stutter during one of our physical face to face classes. The others probably also know I have a problem speaking from the clues I've picked. But, I feel the odd one out. They're always the ones initiating, making jokes and just speaking naturally. I'm always the one that responds and never makes a joke. Even when I do it's most likely when we're playing games and I'm trying to fool them to make a wrong move. I feel much better with these guys not judging me for my speech despite feeling odd sometimes. I never really got judged based on my speech anyways but it feels good to be around guys that know you have a speech impediment.
