Stuttering Struggles So basically I was being interviewed by my friend for his project. All the questions were based on my tennis game. The problem was that I LITERALLY COULD NOT SAY "TENNIS", the main topic of the project. Like I could say "ennis", but I idk why there was a massive block on the "T". For some odd reason I could say tennis when I put "the sport of" in front of it. So in summary I was saying "the sport of tennis" for the entire interview. Like my confidence is on the ground cuz of my stuttering, I feel so ashamed sometimes.
