u/berti102 >Hi! Thanks for the AMA. > >I am 38yo. None of the specialist that took care of my problem made any difference or helped at all (I didn't see any for 10 years now). I finally managed to work my own solutions and workarounds around the age of 30. And even though in most cases You would not see I have a speaking problem, it takes so much energy to keep it under control.... What I heard most of my life is that my tounge is too short and too stiff, my back muscles are cramped, I need to relax and I don't know how to breathe. > >What would You suggest for someone who think most of those diagnosis are incorrect? I can speak perferctly when I am alone but problem comes back when speaking with other people around. But on the other hand, public speaking, like presentations at work go smoothly. So I assume my speaking machinery (tounge, muscles) is just fine. It's even easier for me when I am angry or stressed. > >It just those situation in the middle of emotional spectrum are problematic. These are the situation with direct exchange of emotions with people around but not something or somebody I care partculary about. How would You deal with that?
