I am in this group bc I have a family member who can’t say a sentence without stuttering or blocking completely after every two or three words. I truthfully never thought they would have friends because I believed the world was cruel… he has a core group of friends and he was able to weed out a lot of fucktards because of the stutter. Sometimes I think they have better friends than I do because their friends are much more emotionally intelligent and patience than mine. Truly, you can do this. Try. Try online then a meet up. Try a hobby. Try the game you mentioned above. I promise when I tell you I never in a million years imagined they would be accepted and they were. This will be you too. They told me it was the hardest couple of years of their life putting themselves out there but now they are so happy. You got this. We are here for you.
