Instead of thinking about *what* to say, for example in a job interview or with a girl, all I think about is *how* to say While others will have all the time they need to practice for a job interview, or they will say exactly what comes to mind about a question in the job interview itself, I will focus most of my energy in how to say stuff without stuttering, which ruins the rhythm and ruins my authenticity since I’m not saying what I actually want to say. This is tragic and the worst thing people will never understand this. For them it’s a job interview, for me it is a land mine.
