Any tips for introducing myself in a meeting? Hey guys. I've been stuttering since I was 4-5 and I'm 21 now. I'm interning at this company, and today they're having a discussion among all the young members of the company. Now in my two months as an intern, I've interacted with a limited number of people, because my stutter is terrible, and like most of us, I have real bad anxiety about introducing myself to people and telling them my name. I don't know anyone who's attending the discussion, and I'm just terribly nervous at having to introduce myself and say my name, because it's the word I stutter on and can't utter a sound the most. Does anyone have any tips on how I can ease this?
