I can relate to this. My biggest problem is when I am on the phone and I can not see the other person or read their body language. With a phone call there are so many other variables at play than ...

Fair enough I guess. Had the same problem myself in the uni. I could rush and stutter or take it slow but 3x longer. If 30ppl have to wait it out then yeah, it's wasting everyone's time. If it's a sma...

When I'm presenting a Project In School... Hey, 16 yr male here, Is it my fault if it takes SOOO much longer than anyone else's presentation? I always have that side thought that everyone just wants ...

I started push myself, as immigrant i have to make calls and talk with other people all the time because my parents didn't speak English, whenever they need something i have to do it because there's n...
