Why am I so weird? People ignore me?

I always say the wrong things. I fumble and stutter with my words, which doesn't give off the impression I'm even mildly intelligent. For the past five years, I've been known as the dumb one... And I don't know why. When I'm messaging online (especially in group conversations) I see everyone has read my message... But they don't reply until hours later talking about someone or something different. I'm not interesting... I don't play a sport... I haven't found my niche/forte.... I'm fourteen and I just feel so alienated. I have anxiety problems and sweat over the smallest details. Why? Why do people ignore me... I'm not known for anything. I feel pathetic. Where is my best friend? Do I even have friends...the group I hang out with, they are passive about disliking me (so I just do them a favour and distance myself, it's for the better and I've tried before). Is this normal geez I'm sweating over this again >.< sorry this was long...

    The Stuttering Foundation is a good source for information and help with your speech. The web site explains several causes plus has free books, videos, and referrals to qualified therapists trained to help with stuttering. Try inviting one person to go somewhere or do something with you, then a few more, until you are comfortable; they will feel comfortable around you if you are with them.
