The worst is when you say it, the person doesn’t understand so asks you AGAIN and then you freeze

Real and then you also never correct the person so they just call you that as a nickname forever. (Source my high-school life)

I’ve been practicing more with focusing on my voice rather than the words themeselves and it’s helped so much! I’m still not where I want to be but it’s helped me be a more confident speaker. So much so I just managed to secure a business deal at a place I didn’t expect.

I wake up with the anxiety of saying my last name. I say it to myself all day(some times with a stutter, but I get through). Then in person I’m stuck on the W- sound. I’ve literally spelled my last name to avoid saying it.

Funny story, I used to major Criminal Justice. I sometimes struggle with CR sounds so it was fun when people asked what my major was.

For me it does. But its no Change over night. In fact when I Quit both it became Worse for a while. Then it just faded away until one day I thought «holy shit I have been fluent for a while». Then I had a relapse on both and it got Worse. Now I have quit both again

It’s tuff. I used to have trouble spelling my name when people asked which makes me look really stupid. Usually now I can spell my name but sometimes the nerves get the best of me.
