22, I didn't go to university specifically, but I'm doing an engineering apprenticeship which includes earning a degree.I stuttered quite badly in the interview, but got accepted anyway. Your stutter may count against you, but it doesn't count you out. Also never been in a relationship, and have very few friends. This part is what's really eating me at the moment. I feel like I'm way behind my peers, some of whom are now getting married, and that I have no hope of ever improving this. I can't have the casual conversations that build relationships, it's just too hard to talk and it's not fun or engaging to listen to.
