I am a 19 year old sophomore college male. I have no friends in college, but I have a couple at home, of whom I don't see much of during breaks. I used to wear the same clothes everyday until I forced myself to improve myself, but I still eat the same things for lunch and dinner every day. I have a speech impediment. I can never get past "what's up" in a conversation except for maybe asking one question. I can however though continue a conversation if the opposing member thinks of something to talk about. I've read many books and practiced but no change. I am anxious in public and prefer sitting in my dorm all day rather than socializing with people. I prefer being by myself all of the time, even away from family, although I desperately want to change that. I stutter most of the time I talk. I never knew what body language was until I recently read about it. I can talk to the couple of friends I do have though easily and can converse normally and comfortably, but not with others. I also get obsessed with one particular thing for a long period of time (aka running 90 miles a week to get fast, eating 5000 calories a day to gain weight, etc). Sorry for the weird format, I just wanted to add a lot of stuff in a shortish amount of space. I really want to be like normal people but it's always been so difficult. What can I do to help? TIA!
