Advice on how to make new friends I am a Sophomore in high school and I stutter and I have just been finding it hard to make friends. I have none at my school. The only friend I have is my best friend who lives in Arizona and I moved away from there almost 4 years ago. Usually at school I just sit alone and mind my business which I don’t mind being alone at school but it can get lonely sometimes. One of my insecurities with making friends is my stutter. So I just try to stay quiet unless someone speaks to me or sometimes I may speak to some classmates which makes me feel good. It is just hard to make friends when I stutter and feel like everyone is judging me. So do y’all have any advice?
