My legs shake when I have to do presentations, I worry about them for days in advance. Even things like appointments wirh doctors I worry about for 1-2 weeks in advance. I’m not afraid of stuttering, I’m just afraid of people, I’m afraid of judgement, and I don’t understand what the “normal” thing is to say to someone most of the time. When people ask me questions like how I’m doing or ask me to recount events that happened to me I just freeze. There’s so many different ways I could describe things and I never know what the “right” reply is.
