I start college in two days I am nervous that on the first day of class there is going to be an icebreaker where they make us go around the room and introduce ourselves. That happened a lot in school. Does it happen in college too? I've registered with my college's disability services so I am not required to give presentations or participate in class discussions, but I don't know if my professors will take that as also involving introducing myself on the first day of class or not. I am going to be living on campus so I am also concerned about dining. Talking to someone to order food three times a day seems impossible. My stutter is mainly blocks. I don't want to get a block and end up holding up the line and drawing attention to myself. I can't even order at a restaurant. I'm also worried about transitioning to college in general. I have social anxiety and I've been homeschooled 10th-12th grade. I only have one friend because of that so I rarely leave the house or socialize. I'm very introverted and I'm perfectly content with staying inside by myself all day. In a few days I'm going to be surrounded by people almost all the time and I will only be alone when I use the bathroom. That's going to be hard to adjust to and my stuttering is only going to make it so much worse. I know it will be good for me in the long haul but at first it's going to be so hard. I honestly don't know how I'm going to do this.
