Where did all my friends go? Started stuttering a few years back. Stuttering has been on and off, but I can’t help but notice that my friends and family keep trying to avoid me. Is it the fact that I am difficult to talk to? Am I just not interesting? And when I do talk with them, they either 1: smile in a mocking manner 2: laugh 3: Imitate me Should I just ignore them?
