You will have only the best of friends. All those followers on social media people have are never real friends. If you can get over the self consciousness and remember that everyone is too busy thinking about themselves just the same, it will get much easier. Eventually you'll have no choice because it is what it is, start now. The sooner you get over it the better, go into it letting yourself stutter and it will be surprisingly easier. It's not like we have a say in the matter when we begin stuttering but you can control the severity of it by letting go of your self consciousness over it and then not dwelling on it the rest of the day or ever. Might as well think of other things, basically as difficult as it is, you have to get over it.
