Oh man I’m so stressed Most of my best friends have all moved away to college in the past year and I’ve been feeling really alone. I have a few nights out planned in the next few weeks, cause I gotta get out of my room. Got invited to go clubbing with a girl I’ve never met in real life but have known for years online. And then I’ll be meeting an old friend and will be meeting her friends. Im so nervous to meet new people cause I stutter so bad staying my name, it’s awful. It’s been like this since childhood. Whenever I hear people start to ask “what’s your name” I freak out the fuck out. It’s so stressful cause I’m actually a social person deep down but I let the feeling of embarrassment stop me from starting my life, living my 20s and meeting peoole. Just wanted to rent cause I’ve been super super stressed
