How should I get out and meet friends as a stutterer? So I (m20) Have stuttered ever since I was like 7 and it's usually pretty moderate, Sometimes it can be severe but The past couple of years I have been pretty isolated socialy (Started around when the pandemic started) and ever since I have been scared of getting out and going places and trying to actually meet new people and make friends. In a way, I guess it's sort of like social anxiety. So I was wondering if you all have any advice of how to not be scared to get out and meet people. And make me friends as a stutterer Or if you all had any ideas of good ways to make friends as a stutter? I feel like where I was isolated for so long I've kind of lost the ability to do that. So I just need some advice. Would greatly appreciate any advice.
