I feel that my entire personality is carved around my stutter. I went to co-ed secondary school and JC, and I have a few friends as I rarely opened up to people. In NS, my self-esteem and confidence was basically rock-bottom (the lowest you can get) since it felt like everyone else was perfect, and I was mocked, ridiculed quite a few times. I was so relieved after ORD. I thought that uni would be the time when I start feeling happier. But it didn’t get any better. I’m Y3 now, and everyday that I have school, I can go the whole day without talking to anyone. Never made any meaningful uni friend as well. Even for the very few friends I made from JC and ns, we don’t hang out almost at all, very very rarely. I understand how you feel abt uni. I tried to approach girls too. I approached 2 uni crushes, both ignored me. So life is actl very depressing. So I always look forward to going back home.
