How do I make friends as someone who stutters?

How do I make friends as someone who stutters? Anytime I’m in a talking situation, I block constantly, or I get so nervous I can’t breathe and it feels like I might pass out. And the looks. You know what I’m talking about. When someone hears you stutter for the first time and they make that face. It’s like they doubt my mental capacity, like I’m some child learning how to talk. And over the phone, I’ve been hung up on more than I can count. How can I even think of trying to make friends? I feel like I’m missing out on a big part of life. I want to care about someone, and have someone who cares about me. With this stutter I feel so flawed, like I’m not even a person.
