The worst thing is not even stuttering, even though i stutter and overcame things such as presentations, or introductions, the fear, shame and anxiety is still there, even though i overcame the situation or didnt stutter at all, my brain keeps tricking me saying im gonna stutter again and one moment doesn't matter. When i was 15 i went to a speech therapy and it made it better, i used to stutter 5 to 6 times in a sentence it was so bad, then it actually became better, but there was one problem, i couldnt say my name when i was asked, or when i had to say it, especially on phonecalls, ITS HELL FOR ME. I dont know how to fix it. I though if i reduced it i would feel better, but i still feel like shit cuz i can't say my name. Even though i can talk fluently when i speak. There were situations when i said my name perfectly and i wanna share how i did it so people can benefit from it. I dont even know if it's gonna work later when i had to introduce myself. So basically there was new teacher. And he was really intimidating and we all kinda hated him. So my fear and anxiety kinda doubled. I was at the front seat and he started from the back of the class one by one started asking peoples name. And i didnt stress i didnt anticipate it or anything. I just said to myself in my head : "there's no running from it it's gonna happen and you'll have to say your name so stop stressing and F*CK IT" what happened is when he reached me, i had 1 second pause then i said it perfectly, and we had a banter and talked, and he forgot myname and asked it again i said my name again perfectly. I think the main thing is not trying to run from it because the more you avoid it the more brain is gonna think there is a problem or a barrier that it has to overcome to talk, i know you're over there saying "it's easy to say" , well im not just saying it i actually did it. And i care so much about NOT being seen as weak or uncapable, so putting myself out there while having a minor stutter is hell for me. And as you get used to talking in a conversation i think you wont stutter again or atleast its gonna reduce.
