   anyone have tips for getting better at talking to people? If it's not someone in my family or someone I work with I tend to just stutter and stammer lol

     @VBurner What worked for me was pretending to be someone else (kinda). I still mostly acted as myself but displayed properties of other people and a mindset that I'm playing them as a character. It may seem kind of cringe I'll admit but it was my way of getting past any anxieties when talking to folks until I was comfortable with them.

     @jjetty @VBurner If you’ve ever done a sales job they sometimes run you through this as practice, you’ll just keep going and pretending to sell to a different person with your partner, each time repeating a few core, key phrases and honing in on their cues.

     If you’re stuttering and stammering, take a bit and slow down. People are often quick to jump in and respond, and they don’t give themself a moment to collect their thoughts and load the mental magazine before firing off your sentence.
