This is why my school life was a horror show minus the other experiences. Every time my turn came to introduce myself, I started panicking, racing heartbeats and what not. All the symptoms made my speaking even worse and I just stood there struggling to speak. That has left a lasting impression on my mind that to this day I avoid situations where I have to say my name. I wish my teachers were better equipped and informed at handling students like me, but instead they all ended up ruining my life. I can still manage to speak but my only issue is saying my name. I want to overcome this so badly. Try eliminating these feelings of dread from your mind because you wouldn't want these moments to haunt you years later. Try practicing saying your name and try other techniques because you're still young and have a long way to go. Stay strong.
