Do your “friends” invite you out? Cause if they do and you never ask them to go out or initiate anything then they might think you don’t really want to go out but don’t want to be rude and say no. You gotta be assertive with a stutter and not let it hold you back. This is the most important thing because a stutter can ruin your life if you let it or it can only be a challenge to be overcome. I have friends who I rushed a frat with and they all got in but my gpa was off by a tiny bit so I couldn’t join at the time but whenever I get my gpa up, then I can join. Until then, my friends are often doing private frat stuff that I can’t go to. I don’t feel bad about it and beat myself up over it, I just go out by myself, meet new people and have fun. Especially if I go to a loud environment where there’s alcohol like a party or club, a stutter doesn’t matter at all. You get out of life what you put into it. My friends all left after high school so I was by myself and never went out or really bothered to meet new people. I made some friends from work and hungout with them outside of it but most of the time I was just home alone. I’m 21 and I just started going to college again and now there’s always something to do. I’ve gone to multiple tailgates, parties, bars, clubs, regular social events, etc and have made quite a few new friends. People really aren’t that judgmental about a stutter I’ve found
