I get a nervous stammer which is obnoxious. I'm terrible in meetings, public speaking, and reading aloud in front of people. I also do half breathing where when I'm talking to somebody sometimes I'll try to speak with only a half of breath left which for some reason makes the word freeze in my mouth and then I get stuck and it's fucking unbelievably embarrassing. I wasn't able to find any occupational therapy about teaching me how to speak and read aloud so I was kind of left on my own thus never fixed the problem. But I have to give you credit for going after fixing yours.
