I had bad stuttering when i was 13-15 year old but during that time i moved from Village to City. Made a few friends on the same street. Our connection was sports, if we were not playing we were talking about it. Now its been 23 years since then i have moved to different countries for work but those are the only people i have i can call friends. What incredible bunch they are. Whenever i visit back home lets say for couple of months we meet every single day until im there. Apart from them i could never make new friends. In Uni, work or any social activities i struggle to develop any friendship. Even though i dont stammer as much now still i cant. Which goes to show me stammering itself is not as bad as what stammering do to our personalities. I grew up with big social anxiety and even if new people make an effort to be friends i somehow struggle to do my part. Interestingly thanks to online dating i did ok with ladies however friendship been difficult.
