Hey! I'm a college student from India. I had a similar experience in 9th grade when my stutter got so severe that I found it impossible to talk to my friends or maintain friendships. Even now I feel out of touch with my peers. So I understand. Have you read the book 'Life On Delay: Making Peace With a Stutter' by John Hendrickson? That might help. Here's the link to the free PDF: https://dokumen.pub/life-on-delay-making-peace-with-a-stutter-2021054996-2021054997-9780593319130-0593319133.html In addition, here's the link to an article I wrote recently on Stuttering. Still working on the ending, but hope it helps in some way. https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VkSIuu0_fnoRgjzBbb3_L_8zGYpYmzWrIFhodpqYUGA/edit?usp=drivesdk
