Anyone else feel they can’t physically speak when in a group conversation? I don’t know if it’s my social anxiety or my stutter, maybe a mix of both? But when in a group discussion I literally can’t contribute at all, it feels like my mouth is wired shut or I have no voice. Just makes me look super awkward not saying anything.
