Just be yourself! I was scared of the same thing going to college and I am now 3 years out of college and have some of the best friends I could have ever asked for. None of them have a stutter and none of them judge me for mine. They are so accepting of me and my struggles and actually got me completely out of my shy bubble I started of college in. I’d never wanna go out or do anything and they got me out the dorm and turned me into a social butterfly I never thought I could be and If I was struggling with my stutter and not being social they’d help me out to feel more confident in myself and If anyone ever made any rude comments to me about my stutter you best believe one of them was right there to back me up and make sure I knew there was nothing wrong with me and to not go back to my shy bubble because of it. Don’t stress yourself out, everything will be okay just be yourself and the right friends will find their way to you!
