i know exactly what you mean. im 16 and dont really have a social life. most of the girls ive dated have been close to me for years so even when i stuttered around them it wasnt a huge deal. but going out on dates, meeting new people, etc? no thank you. it sucks cos when im around the right people, i'll never shut my mouth lol. but in general, im the least social person on planet earth. i havent spoke to anyone in like 4-5 days and im fine with it. id rather sit alone and shut up than run the risk of embarrassing myself; i still rememeber an awkward social situation where i stuttered like crazy from 5 years ago. you'd think after 5 years i wouldve forgotten about it but nah, all them situations have been burned into my memory and whenever i think about, i feel embarrassed and i cringe. as i type this right now, some of my friends are out having fun n shit, and im sat in my room on reddit. im trying so hard to not let my stutter control my life but fuckkk man its so hard when you have no confidence and no motivation to even try to socialise
