I can relate with you completely. I have had it as a kid. I am 24 years old now and same story, always had such a difficult time making friends and was super quiet around people even though I would have loved to talk and share my views and opinions. I too have very few friends for the same reason. I work a corporate job now and when it comes to meetings or when I have to talk, the anxiety storm that hits me is no joke lol. I would love to have more friends.. I want to live a life where my stutter does not stop me from doing anything... Limit me in anyway. One day.. In the mean time I suggest you try some breathing exercises for stuttering. There are plenty available on youtube and they do help me from time to time! Thanks for posting about this, feels good to know I'm not the only one going through this and there are more like me 😊
