Anybody else feel really uncomfortable at bars? Especially when going up and ordering a drink. For me, the stuttering gets so much worse. It’s probably one of my bigger anxieties. I haven’t been to one since the end of 2019, but with things slowly getting back to normal and my friends inviting me out I’m not sure what to do. On one hand, I do enjoy going out but it’s hell interacting with new people. I tend to make an awful first impression
