I go by my middle name because I can’t say my first name without stuttering lmao since like elementary school I have. I remember basically crying and begging my parents to let me. it was pretty much impossible for me to get it. its gotten better with regards to saying my first name but its still not great. at least I can actually get it out now. anyways yeah thats a part of my life story thanks for coming to my ted talk
