Saying my NAME Ok. This is my number 1 struggle, I would happily take the rest of my stutter for the rest of my life no problem if I could say my name fluently. I know this is a pretty common problem but I think quarantine has made it worse as I’m coming into contact with hardly any new people. I’ve become so sneaky growing up about saying my name, and I’ve come up with some pretty innovative avoidance strategies all while still acting like I’m cool and chill on the surface hahahah, but there’s just some things that’s embarrassing eg. Introducing yourself in a new module seminar in college, (every semester), causally meeting new people, booking hair/medical appointments (and subsequently showing up for them and having to say your name), etc. Does anyone have any tips? It’s these small things that can really put a downer on my day. If I don’t know anyone then I don’t give a fuck, but if I’m on a date and they ask what name the table is reserved under... then it’s just embarrassing if my date is just stood there. Luckily at college I’ve met most people at parties while everyone is already tipsy or whatever, and then seeing them again sober is perfect because the weight of saying my name is gone. Any advice is appreciated!
