I always cringe inside a little when I see someone’s facial expression change when I start stuttering for the first time in front of them. The other day I had to introduce myself by name in front of a group of coworkers and obviously i stuttered. They all gave the same look. You just gotta remind yourself there’s nothing wrong with you, they just are adjusting to something different for them. Like when you see someone with a birth mark you haven’t seen before or something. Eventually they won’t care but at first they’re like “oh, interesting “
