I feel like. The worse thing for people like us is worrying and overthinking way before it actually happens. We giving a huge shadow to something that's insignificant. I watched some video on YouTube about it. You shouldn't worry too much no matter how bad things you "think" will be in the moment. Try and give your focus to something else and give that thing a *bigger* shadow. And tell yourself that this thing. This first day at uni is something that I worry about, but it shouldn't be something that would overwhelm me. In my case. Im religious so I tell myself. God is bigger than my worries and being afraid of him more is more significant. He will help me and that made my weeks easier than I anticipated. Even though I had many speech blocks, I wasn't too anxious before the time. Try not to stress so much. I was in the same position some time back. Attending university after so long is very stressful and needing to meet people is hard. If you able to introduce yourself to someone and make a friend then you have nothing to worry about. If you cannot like me, I suggest telling the person you talk to that you stutter and anxious about it. It'll be easier. That's what I did. I wrote my name on a notepad on my phone and told them I stutter and unable to say it because of speechblocks. I even told my one lecturer it's hard for me to get my words out. Goodluck. You got this. Stay strong <3 Forgot to add. Balding isn't a bad thing. My uncle who's around my age is also balding pretty bad. He was a student and now is a lecturer at my university. Everyone respects him for his personality. Literally everyone respects him. So balding doesn't define who you are. If you have a good personality, you're golden
