hey! i relate so much lol, whenever I present a group project i just tense up so much and eventually just *freeze* out of anxiety. I think it’s so painful after speaking your part, and you’re just sitting there thinking how stupid you sounded. Please know that you are just as capable as the next person. Fluency is not reflective of your intelligence! With zoom meetings and all, I feel almost relieved that I don’t have an in person college experience? Like I’d DIE if I stuttered in person to my whole class. BUT, with online school, I feel like some tension is relieved, while class participation is still required, please use this time as “practice.” Talking through a screen is so much easier for me, if my camera is off, I almost feel anonymous and safe rather than being singled out as a “weirdo.” Try out fluency techniques and use them in CLASS. This is probably the only time you can get hands on practice in getting fluent without major repercussions, so please use this time to build yourself up. <3
