I completely understand what you're going through. I'm a very introverted person of not many friends, and I often feel sad about this because every. single. time. I log into social media I'm bombarded with photos and stories of people going out with their friends, having fun, being social. Things I could never do. People often tell me "come on! just talk to them and make friends! It's not that hard." uh, Sharon, it IS that hard. If you stutter, at least. Even if I try to talk and meet new people, they would just stop paying attention to me at one point or (the more rude ones) just walk away as soon as they hear me stutter. They're just not interested in being friends with someone like me, and I notice this, so I just isolate myself as a result. It's hard when even your own parents don't pay attention to what you're saying and finish your sentences because you stutter. I feel like no one respects me or sees me like something more than "that one girl who stutters". Whenever people need to say something nice about me (at school we are sometimes forced to do this, you have to say something nice about the person that sits behind you), they'll ALWAYS say something like "yeah you're so strong, you've taught me to keep going even if my life is hard" and you'll think these are nice things to say, but if you're like me, after hearing them so much you notice they really aren't. Because people only see you as that "oh the poor girl who stutters and that struggles so hard to go on with her life" never as anything else. They will never say to me "I think you're a very kind, nice person" "I think you have many talents" "You're very good at this/that" because they don't see beyond the stutter. I have so many good qualities, but no one cares because of this. I hate my stutter. It blocks me from being seen as a normal human being.
