I too spent most of my 1st sem in my room, the stutter reduced quite a bit in the starting due to the excitement of college life ig, and I was able to make a few friends within the first weeks itself, but after that it slowly started to increase, and I had to force myself into my room.. So in second sem, I decided I would go out and try out stuffs which I knew I wouldn't be able to do good because of my stutter, but I hoped for a miracle.. I joined the marketing team of my college fest, where we need to go and tell shop owners for advertisement or stalls, and God I stuttered so terriblyyyyy.. Luckily I always had a friend with me who did the job for me, but it was then I realised how helpless I wass.. After the fest, again came the phase of locking myself in the room staring at the mind boggling vulnerabilities a simple stutter can create.
