How to interact with people more? This is probably another desperate attempt of mine by posting here. Anyways, I'm 24 and postgraduate student. With universities being all online in my country due to the pandemic, my stutering has severely increased since last year. Before the distance education, I was able to overcome it to some extent, but it now detoriated like hell since there are hardly any people around me I can talk talk to due to online education. My family lives in another city as well. Every (former) stutterer says that they were able to reduce it by talking and interacting with people more, and I find it quite sensible. After all, you somehow densentisize yourself through this interaction, and stuttering is reduced. What could you suggest in order to be able socialize under this circumstances?
