How should anyone approach anyone else for whatever reason with whatever special circumstances that may or may not apply? Dunno. What I do know - I think - is that meeting other people is subject to so many factors in general that something like stutter is potentially just a drop in the ocean. In your case, if the anxiety is diagnostical, this is the wrong place to ask. Also in your case, in so far as this is really just about meeting other people, this isn't necessarily the place to ask either. So instead of worrying about all that... **Just approach someone! See what happens!** There are so many moments in these lives of ours, and some of them won't come about unless we go seek them out.
