I have no friends because my stutter makes every social engagement extremely awkward. That's just the truth, no one wants to hang around a guy who cannot contribute to the discussion/jokes without completely killing the vibe. You can tell me otherwise, but I am just being HONEST. People do not give me time, I start to stutter and they do that awkward smile and try to talk to someone else, or look at their phone, hahahahahaha. Thats my life, I am the weird guy. You can say I'm being negative but I'm not, I'm just being HONEST. I have lied and lied and lied to myself for years. You are right, it SHOULDNT mean that I have to isolate myself from people, but it FORCES me to be lonely. I love talking to people, I love being around people, but people don't love being around me haha :D Thanks for caring though, my life just feels so extremely cold and empty.
