don’t have much advice but to tell you that you’re not alone ! i get into a nervous wreck for the first day of classes and usually will skip them if i have a hunch that the prof will do ice breakers (some just like to go thru the syllabus) or will go late to class 😭 . i always stutter saying my name (monica) that sometimes i just say onica and act like they misheard me 💀💀💀. deep breathing a lot during the class helps me but it’s always hit or miss bc sometimes i won’t stutter but sometimes i will and feel defeated. also saying affirmations like “i speak eloquently” helps relax my brain . just wanted to lyk that you’re not alone! <3
