I have the issue where I talk way too fast and stumble on my words around people. And I fidget. With LD, I hope I can get better at talking to people as well as trying in my waking life to work on it at the same time.

What I've been doing that helps is going out with someone I'm comfortable with (my mom) and just being around people. I know if I talk to someone, I may look nervous or act funny, but my mom always assures me (with a confused face) that I act fine, and "anyways, it doesn't matter what other people think". In this day and age, everyone has problems big and small. They're less likely to care about me fidgeting a lot than they are thinking about when they're going to get off work (if they're at the store).

And of course, I know my boundaries. I can only handle so many strangers at a time.

I think- no, I know, we can both improve.

(Sorry for rambling, seriously!)
