No friends and no girlfriend I am 26m. In past making friends are hardest things for me, in school, i had zero friends. In college I had zero friends in frist three years, but made two friends in last years. Last 4 years, I have moved to different country for master study, I have zero friends, It is not that I am not trying, many times I try more than I should to cover for my stuttering, but no...... Imagine if making friends is difficult, I can't hope for girlfriend, and I am also trying in that. Many in this reddit, are married and have girlfriends. Good for them, but they are just saying stuttering make no difference in dating life. That is stupid comment. You have to understand not everyone is living same life, conversation is very crucial part in making relationships. The chance are drop really when you can not do that. And remember the formula, Stutter + handsome = Cute Stutter + Ugly = pathetic, this is the way world works. You get girlfriend even you are ugly, good for you, exemptions are always there. Probability of getting girlfriend reduces drastically when you can't make conversations and thats the truth.
