My speech isn't too bad in non-social situations. At work, it's good enough that some people don't know I stutter. In the situation of asking a store attendant for help, my speech is not perfectly smooth, but also not a hindrance. I'm fine being social with people I already know. I'm really bad meeting people for the first time. I'm worried about the stutter hurting the first impression, which makes me nervous, which causes me to stutter. This makes meeting new people a very unpleasant experience for me, which makes me tend to avoid it. Up until recently, I've always been able to meet people through friends and gradually get comfortable around them so that I could feel comfortable talking. Now that I'm out of college and my circle of friends has shrunk to almost nothing, I'm having to make friends on my own for the first time in my life. This is where I think I have a social anxiety problem, which is probably caused mostly by a lack of social experience, but the stutter certainly doesn't help.
