Yeah I gotta loosen up and stop thinking about it so much. I speak really well but as soon as my name becomes the subject I seize from that anticipatory fear. I used to stammer and repeat sounds like (H-h-h-ello) but now I exclusively suffer from blocks and I’m not sure if this is better or worse. The idea of voluntarily stuttering is really uncomfortable but I could see how it would help because I usually have a much easier time saying a word the second time.
