Every weekend I play games with my wife and a handful of friends on Saturday night. Same group of 5 of us every time and a handful of others occasionally.
I freeze up though. I can feel my voice reverberating through my head and just cannot speak. This actually happens anytime I’m high, but I mostly notice on discord since I’m not a social smoker.
How do I not be a mute?
Practice makes… you better slowly. You have to do the thing, then you get the confidence. You’re probably going to get more laughs by saying something stupid, embrace the stoniness, become Mitch Hedberg.
Don’t say shit for a whole hour, then quietly ask if anyone has snacks.
