Is it this hard to make friends in college or is it just me? I’m going into my 4th semester in college, and so far I haven’t made any friends. The first two semesters were online because of the pandemic, so that didn’t help. On top that, I have a stutter, so it’s hard to talk and meet new new people, but I’m really trying. Today a guy in my speech class gave a presentation over a videogame that I happen to like. After class was over I approached him to tell him that his presentation was really cool, but as I was getting closer and practicing what I was gonna say I just kept getting stuck mid sentence. So I passed him and kept on walking like nobody’s business. Any advice?
