How do you make friends in your 30s? I think most people in my shoes are usually younger people in college or high school. Mine is different, I had friends from high school and college by the virtue of just being around a group of people long enough that it happens organically and they don't care about your stutter. Now it's different, I moved to America for college, masters, PhD before moving back to my country to work. All of my friends from high school or college are far way, so I'm essentially on my own. The common advice of making friends as an adult don't really apply to us does it? Besides I'm from a country where stuff like groupon doesn't really exist. It also does not help that I work remotely, so it's not like I have work buddies. The few times I've tried approaching people it ended up weird, like I have developed this tick of stuttering where it looks I'm choking, and for some reason my stutter has actually got worse. I have no idea how it got worse, could it be stress? Sometimes I feel worse after trying to interact with people. It's a vicious cycle. I guess this turned out to be a rant and I'm sorry. I'm sorry but has anyone here been in this situation where you essentially had to start rebuilding your social from scratch after years of hanging with the same people?
