It hasn't always been the case. Several times a month, with Team Zoom meetings, having to call other stores and customer interactions I still feel VERY uncomfortable. I just try to focus on those moments and get through them as they come. Money's too good to not put the effort out though and go back to a factory/production job. I've tried practicing many times over the years. I can talk to myself and never stutter. Get me on a scripted phone call or in front of multiple people and I sound like a bumbling idiot sometimes. I've made changes to my approach at work, I've had too. I don't follow the corporate scripted, robotic customer opening lines they want from training. I keep it short and sweet. My first name only, and brief reason for the call. I can't do Voicemails, my stuttering takes over. In reality I hope they don't answer so I can skip the VM and send a text. Good thing is most people prefer that these days anyways. Sometimes I can really focus and speak slowly and cleary in short conversations. Even managed to get half way through a presentation before the stuttering took over. Make changes for you. Shorten your name, use your first initial or whatever works for you. I'm sorry you go though that. I can really relate and sympathize, I can manage my first name but not my last. I really struggle with words that start with the Wa and Wh sound so my last name is very hard to say clearly. You've probably heard it before but sometimes taking a deep breath and telling myself to speak slowly and clearly really helps me get through my next interaction. Don't give up!
