You know everybody has times in there life when they said some really akward shit? And you get that feeling in your stomach when you know you said something your going to regret later? Thats what its like for me, the word cringe sums it up pretty well, again, for me. It hasnt changed since school and im 23 now. Stuttering has effected every facet of my social interactions since I was born and I feel it stunted me emotionally permanently. I avoid certain items on a resturants menu if i feel it would make me stutter to the waitress ect.
