Pretty fucking embarrassing. So I got invited to hang out with some other college kids today but I wasn't talking much. I didn't stutter almost when I talked but I didn't tell any stories or anything, I was kinda small talking to everyone and making comments or asking simple questions. One of the girls kept asking me why I am so quiet today and it was annoying to me. It was one of those days when it was hard to talk for me but I just said I have a headache. Fuck I just feel like they think I am some quiet wierdo. I feel so fucking dumb right now, I had a lot of thoughs in my head but I was afraid to say anything for a long time so I sticked to the small talk.
