A small trick i’ve been doing that is quite helpful my name starts with an “A” and i’ve always stuttered saying my name which gave me a lot of anxiety in social situations/class rooms/ university… But recently i’ve found that saying the phrase “my name is” before saying my name actually makes me say my name fluently whenever i’m asked This works for me in both the languages that i speak which are arabic/english Taking a deep breath before saying it also makes it easier for me to not stutter I know it’s not some kind of magic solution that is supposed to work every time, i fuck up every once in a while but it has significantly decreased the amount of times i stuttered while saying my name. Hope it helps
