i totally get your points and most are valid. i do think you need to try to work on shifting your overall negative perspective on life right now - it’s not gonna help you get anywhere. definitely easier said than done, but instead of focusing on “well i just missed out on another friend bc i stuttered”, think “do i even want that person as a friend in my life if they reacted that way when i spoke?” obviously not, so let them live their life how they want to and move on. it’s not your job to please everyone in the world, and not everyone’s job to tolerate you. i get interrupted and some funny looks to this day, but that’s life as a PWS. it’s not easy for any of us on here, but i hope you gain some positivity along this journey!
