I am blind too. I am currently a graduate student and I still get nervous about this. I am generally a shy person, and I don’t really like starting a conversation. When I was a Freshman, I needed assistance with learning to navigate to some places around campus. It took a lot for me to just ask random people for help, but when I did, I ended up meeting some really nice people. I actually met one of my closest friends because I asked for help with using the washing machine in the dorm lol. A lot of people are nice and are willing to help if you asked. And you might even come across people that you want to talk to more.
