I love feeling like a normal person So I spent most of my life without any real friends and the one close friend I did have doesn’t even live nearby. I’ve stuttered since I was a kid and have always dealt with social anxiety. Recently I got a bit of a friend group on accident by talking to someone on Snapchat, and being invited to events by them. We all went out to breakfast this morning. We talked in the car. We talked at the restaurant. We had a good time and we got along with each other. I stuttered but it was fine. We had fun. I love feeling like I’m a normal person that can go out and do things, and have friends. Even if it’s just for a couple hours.
