Not having a social life in your 20s I'm in my early 20s and I have no social life. I find it hard to interact with people nowadays and being a heavy stutterer doesn't help because it makes me not want to speak. I even cut out social media because I realize only people who interacts with others actually want to be seen by the world and I just lost interest in wanting to be seen. I want friends but don't know how to maintain them, want connections but don't know how to start them. I just want an extrovert to adopt me as a friend LMAOOO!! I've accepted this is my life already being socially awkward and secluded, it's just not ideal for me and it gets lonely. l've been like this since a preteen and it's just gotten worse overtime. I just need tips igs on how to stop being a darn weirdo I'm too old for this. Also again too old to still have a stutter.
