I will always try and introduce myself first so I can go HHHHHhhhhhhiiiii my name is Soloemilia in one breath. But then oh my God when people are like oh I’m sorry what did you say? It’s like— go to ...

I think we are talking about different things, because yes I am focused on saying specific words. Plus, in my experience people can wait very long in real life situations. But thank you for your feedb...

You stutter on your name for two reasons. First, you can’t substitute another word for it. Second, more importantly, when do you actually say your name? With new people/meeting people, when the stakes...

I freeze and find it very hard to open my mouth when I start a sentence while doing eye contact. I usually wait till that eye contact is broken before saying a long sentence. In this case, physically...

I too struggle with it, usually I’ll just change my name for reservations at a restaurant or anywhere that doesn’t require your government name lol. T is a letter I struggle with, and unfortunately my...
