I just had the worst stuttering experience while being on the phone, and even worse - I’ll be meeting this person in like 30 minutes. They were also super nice to me, as there was zero energy change when I stuttered, it’s like they didn’t even notice. But it was really bad so obviously they did. It’s the worst feeling ever, but I’m trying not to run away or distrust myself like I used to. My best advice (first of all to myself at this moment hehe) is self compassion. It happened, it was difficult, but also I was brave enough to even call, and I appreciate myself for this. Hold on there, you are not alone ❤️
