My anxiety isn't as bad as it used to be but... Nowadays I would consider myself to have mild social anxiety that fluctuates (I don't know why). Majority of the time when I'm at school I can be okay with talking to classmates with no stuttering / breaking no eye contact but this morning it was hard to even utter a sentence without stuttering / the volume between words fluctuating I really want to get rid of it for good, but how exactly? It's already weird enough my social anxiety comes and goes. I also slur my words sometimes but I have no idea why. It might be good to mention my brain doesn't work as fast as usual when I attempt to talk out loud. ; I talk slow, basically, so i can actually digest what exactly is coming out of my mouth (public only), if I attempt to speed up my talking, I trip on my words more
