Tried to force a word out. Embarrassed myself bigly. I’m trying to embrace my stutter. I’m trying anything at this point. So anyway, I’m at a group gathering. The group was talking about something. I simply want to agree with everyone and input “yeah, I agree”. Well here’s how it went… “Yeah, i—“ *all eyes on me at this point* Again I try. “Yeah, iiiIIIIIII!!!!!!!!!” Basically I tried getting past the i, but I literally just began screaming louder and louder. After that, I just excused myself and left. Facepalm. I literally don’t know why I fucking try at all anymore. I just need to shut up forever.
