I cringe when I hear my voice or when I see a video of myself speaking. Context. This year I’ve been pushing myself to be more social and to stutter openly especially at work. At work I signed up for social things like expos, photos, video shoots and reviews. This is not my role at work. All of these have sucked but I’m pushing through. My biggest thing now is after I film a review. I have to go over the final product and I just can’t listen or look at myself. Anyone else experience this? Any tips to give? I have to go over the videos and approve them before they can posted.
