Annoyed at myself I don’t know why self disclosure is just so hard sometimes. I’m usually pretty good about it when doing (or taking) interviews, presentations, and in meetings, but today when we were introducing ourselves at a meeting, I was blocked significantly but just didn’t self disclose. Background: There were two new undergrads at a lab meeting (I work in a research lab and I’m a grad student). I had self disclosed during the first meeting of the semester when we traditionally do intros, but during the meeting today, I just didn’t. And I don’t know why but I’m kicking myself about it. I hate it because I want to be an advocate for people who stutter but can I really do it if I don’t walk the talk?
