Tips on introducing myself? I'm slowly but surely chipping away at fixing my stutter but the one thing I'm struggling with mainly still is introducing myself. My name is Ryley and I like, basically can't introduce myself. Like my stutter really isn't too bad in typical conversation, it's definitely there, but not too bad and it's improving as I'm working at it and getting more confident, but my damn name. I can't get it out. It'll take me 10-15 seconds to spit it out sometimes. Any suggestions at all would seriously be very appreciated. And please save your time and don't tell me to go to a speech therapist or professional, misc, I'm fully aware that is an available resource.
