I feel like I will end up being alone forever So I (22 f) have stuttered since I was little. I would consider myself fairly attractive, I definitely am not a stunner but I look nice if I put effort in. I just feel like I will never find someone who will accept me for me. I started feeling very depressed when certain things in my life didn’t go as planned, lost a lot of friends (I had few in the first place), and started feeling very sad almost all the time. Now it’s a bit better but I feel like I have lost my personality, I am boring, don’t have any friends and I feel like I’m not really like I used to be anymore. I had one relationship where I felt like I could be myself, but that one ended and now I don’t know how to feel. I have tried online dating, once I even took the courage to ask a guy out in person (after one drink lol) but nothing seems to work out. Guys are always nice to me but nobody is interested. This probably sounds dumb but I think about it a lot and it’s really affecting me
