Long story short I'm 31 and work a dead end isolated job because I could never hold a good job where communication is needed, people where always major assholes to me because of the stutter so I became fed up & isolated myself in recent years....because of that I have almost no friends anymore (most were just using me & back stabbed me so I cut them off) the 2 of my longtime bfs moved on with life. Now I'm alone & still living with my elderly parents because I can lt afford to move out, It hurts more because I see myself as a burden to them...and me & my old Gf parted ways 3 yrs ago & I didn't see the point of even trying to find another girl at this point with my speech getting worse. I've manned up and talked to plenty of girls in my 20s & it was embarrassing and rarely ever worked. Basically my life consists of Bs work & chilling by myself at home & at local bars waiting until I grow old & my time runs out. Because of the unfortunate cards I've been dealt, I feel bad for people with handicaps like we have or worse. If your stuttering isnt too severe don't let it hold you back bro, time goes by fast & you'll be 30s like me wishing you put yourself out there more...But in my case the stuttering was mostly severe so I did everything I could basically.
