Can you be friends with people who laugh or smile when you stutter? It seriously pisses me off everytime. I get just the tiny bit nervous and end up stuttering and seeing how people react to it makes me mad, it hurts me. I want to not care but i can't its so embarrassing. I got rid of all my old friends and can't make any new ones because i feel to vulnerable..ugh i hate this shit guys i just want to be normal why can't i be??
