I’m 28 and this is so relatable. I have always avoided conversation and I don’t know how to make small talk. This has definitely led me to not developing socially and I am known as the quiet guy. It’s sad because I don’t think that is who I truly am. My stutter just makes it really awkward and I would rather avoid the embarrassment and not talk to others.
