if you feel invisible maybe you’re not out there talking enough. I noticed that I was doing most of the talking in class in college and graduate work, so much that eventually I decided I should let others have time to speak in class, so I would wait about a minute before Iceiuld answer or ask a question on class. I don’t know why any of the others in my classes were so reluctant to speak up in class or why they preferred to hide in back in the 12th row. Maybe they were even more anxious about speaking than I was. I mentioned previously that I had found it helpful to fake st-st-stutter on pu-purpose. Letting out a bit of air before I started to speak and using that to let me start to speak on the same breath was also helpful. I found that prolonging the first part of the sound was helpful as well. Most helpful was the stuttering on purpose, revealing that I stutter, when I’d really prefer to hide it (because stuttering is so horribly utterly shameful and crazy and weird and stupid, we’ll maybe it’s not so bad advI imagine).
