For the past 2 years i've been going out with my friends for almost every weekend, as i don't drink so i can get to be the sober driver. I have realised being social is everything. I'm not the type of person that people hate, not a asshole or anything. But people tend to avoid staying alone with, me because i don't talk. Thus i also avoid sinple social activity like shaking hands, hugging and so on, because i have a hard time making small talk let alone tell stories. If you put all those together, then what? You get a awkward person. I know i am not that, but i choose to be because of my stutter
