I have thoughts that I am too quiet and stupid sounding whenever I do speak up. Everyone around me says I talk normally but I feel like I’m stunted in comparison to them.

How do I let go of obsessive thoughts regarding how I speak to people? I can’t be that bad of a speaker after all. I feel like this focus has made me worse at speaking as I’m thinking about what I’m going to say all the time. Have you ever done this?
