Rejection is hard enough as a "normal" person. As someone with a speech impediment, it feels 100 times worse I went to an all girls high school, so that really didn't help me meet boys. But the key problem has always been my stutter. My stutter is more neurological. I have social anxiety, which affects my speech, and my speech affects my anxiety, so it's this never ending cycle with me. But a few years ago, I met a guy on a trip. I hardly stuttered around him, which is rare for me. He told mutual friends that he liked me. I wasn't supposed to know, but they all told me. Turns out, he had a girlfriend, and cut contact with me. They broke up not too long after, but he never reached out to me. I know he stalked my social media from time to time, but that was it. A few months ago, I was going through a difficult time, and posted a bunch of depressing stuff on my TikTok (which he does NOT follow). He didn't reach out to me himself, but he got all worried about me. But that doesn't matter. It doesn't matter what he thinks because I felt worthless during that time. It's so hard meeting people when you have a speech impediment, but it's worse after a situation like this.
