Had to read out loud ..feeling a bit down about it So yah.. I had to read something out loud.. to around 45 people. It was for some small event. The thing I had to read was maybe 2-3 lines long. I practiced before with some people and it was fine. When I started reading it at the event however, I literally couldn’t get out 3 words starting with “a”, and “e”. There was literally just silence for like 30 seconds before each of those words as I was struggling to get them out. Idk how to feel. I wasn’t embarrassed bc this is just a struggle I have and others don’t. I couldn’t help but feeling sad and disappointed tho. And maybe even a bit embarrassed too? I couldn’t even enjoy the event after that. Like.. I practiced and the only words I was worried about where the two starting with “p”. Ugh. And then I started stuttering on these other words too. I did finish it tho lol. This girl was telling me afterwards that they asked her to read something out loud too (she’s fluent), but she refused because she was scared. That made me feel a bit better and braver? Lol
