Nerves prior to going to college orientation Hello, i’m going to my orientation for college this Thursday and friday and I’m assuming they’ll make us do ice breakers and stuff like that. When i talk i don’t really stutter but i mainly have blocks whenever I speak and one major thing I block on is saying my name. I’ve been practicing in front of my friends and by myself and I haven’t had any blocks but I feel like that’s because i’m not nervous around them. Do you guys have any tips on how to stop blocking?
