I'm a 34 year old woman who stutters, and yeh, I'd say I find it hard to make friends. I've never really had a 'best friend'. I've not had a group of girlfriends since school. Nobody threw me a baby shower when I was pregnant, or a hen party when I got married. I didn't have a maid of honour (my brother stood in). My bridesmaids were all little girls from my family. Yeh. It does kinda suck sometimes. But then, I am pretty introverted and solitary. I do equally love being alone. Though I wouldn't say I don't get a little pang when I see photos of other women on social media, dressed up nice and supping cocktails together. It must be nice to have that sort of sisterhood. I do tend to get along better with men. I always put it down to me being the only girl and having brothers - but maybe my stutter is partly to blame too? I wouldn't say people dislike me. It's more they 'nothing' me. I don't think they have strong feelings about me either way.
