As a stutterer how do you try to gain friends?

As a stutterer how do you try to gain friends? I'm 17(M) and never had many friends because of my severe stammering, I can't socialize that much, and lately, I have been feeling rather lonely that I don't have people that I would rely on or call friends, thanks to my stuttering especially It's tough for me to talk to girls because as soon as I begin stuttering or stammering they lose interest in me and it's depressing I tried speech therapy when I was young but never really worked out. so, to the community of stutterers, how do you try to gain friends?
