I handle myself decently imo at parties. Drinking isn't a part of my social strategy as I don't partake. Generally at parties I'm too focused on the people I'm talking to or having people around me en...

I think this is fairly common. I've experienced this at various points in my life...though it may always be present, just at a lower level. I know what you mean when you say you're comfortable but not...

That's so me with my stutter. It sucks when someone does it, but honestly I'm just happy the struggle is over with. And I kind of joke about it and it sort of breaks the ice? I've heard from a lot of ...
