Small Victory Usually when I get gasoline. I have to say something short like "30 dollars on number 3" and stutter a lot. Always resort to "uhh, uhmmm" with all the eye movements away from the cashier, not present at all in the body. This time I maintained eye contact the whole time. Held my fluency together, even if was choppy. Didn't say any filler words, no shallow breathing. Felt really good not gonna lie
