Thanks for replying. I hope my post didn’t come off offensive. What I’m trying to say is that there are so many fluent speakers that avoid speaking situations and don’t fully commit or apply themselves in the social world. Think about how many fluent speakers assume that every girl or guy they like is out of their league. And how many fluent speakers never really start working on their dreams because fear of failure. So what I’m saying is that if we take many of the chances and opportunities that are given to us, we can accomplish things that even many fluent speakers don’t. And if you’re like me, facing my fears gives me a rush of dopamine and helps build my confidence, which helps me be fluent, at least for the mean time.
