Are you a member of an organization like the Boy Scouts or church group? Team sport or club? You can't make friends without spending a significant amount of time on a regular basis with someone preferably with a shared goal. Assuming America, does the [National Stuttering Association](http://www.westutter.org/) have a group where you live? When I was younger I went to meetings periodically when my stutter was really bad and I was feeling down on myself. Someday, and I know it seems impossible now, but someday you're going to have the realization that you no longer care what people think about you and your stutter and it's just none of your business what's in the mind of others. On that day I guarantee you will stutter less and it will cease to be an important part of your identity.
