I remember when I was younger I had a bunch of friends and did not really let my stuttering affect me, but through a series of kind of unfortunate events .i.e quarantine, going into a different highschool from many of my friends, and my stuttering getting much much worse it has been very hard to make any real friend, and I find now that the in order to make friends now I need to be able to actually hold a conversation which I guess I just never learned, or have maybe forgotten.
