It certainly is what it is. And certainly people will reject us because of our stutter. But I found religious groups, charitable groups, and night classes great places to make friends. If you have a special interest (cars, computers, sports, dancing, etc.) join. Volunteering is also good. What is not good is staying home and watching TV. I was rejected over and over. Up to them. I was lost but now I'm found. Was blind but now I see. Please don't give up. It is so difficult. We all know that. But there are good people out there too. And that is what it is.
