What a shame you feel that way. I have a stutter that can be quite severe, but I never give up trying with people. Some will laugh at you; some won’t give you the time of day. But others will try for you. If you have something to offer, they will try. I’ve been on a lot of awkward dates; I’ve had coworkers laugh in my face; etc etc etc, and yes, I find it hard to make friends, but I’m never completely alone. There are always people out there. If you want to hear a hard truth, it’s this: you do have to be better in other ways to make up for your stutter. If you’re smarter, funnier, more interesting — even if you’re just a bubbly and cheerful person, you’ll get somewhere. These are all things you can work on. Focus on the aspects of yourself that you can improve. It will always be harder for people like us, but there’s no other choice
