University tomorrow! Not entirely sure how to word this (ive only posted on reddit a few times) but tomorrow im arriving at my university dorms. Im most nervous about speaking to my flatmates for the first time. I haven't had the best experiences with meeting new people, im very self conscious about my stutter and I become very quiet in social situations. What makes me more nervous is the fact that my twin brother (who used to stutter but now doesn't) went to university last week and has had a great experience. It just feels like I have more pressure on me to settle in well and make lots of friends. It feels really good to get this off my chest. Anyone have any advice? 🙂
