difficulty in introducing myself recently I’ve been finding difficult to introduce my self particularly my name which starts from A , i used to find it easy before but now there’s this fear planted in my head that I’ll stammer when I’ll say my name . today someone asked my name i got blank , totally out of my senses started to look around as if I didn’t heard him , thankfully my dad saved me . Im almost 30 and things are getting bad , in a constant fear because of stammering , im going abroad this summer w family in constant fear how i will react when immigration guys at the airport will ask me questions. is there any speech exercise which i can do , any medicines which can help me lower down my heartbeat ( SOS ) YouTube links will be helpful for sure . Thank you!!
