Just venting Today at work, my coworker asked me to convert 8 meters and 20 centimeters in milimeters. I obviously know that but I'm struggling with words that begin with vowels and in my native language eight starts with the letter "o". So while I was trying to get that word out he was just looking at me probablly thinking that I'm slow or something especially because when I'm stuttering, I don't repeat the initial letter of the word like some people but I just keep saying "uuuh" trying to get the word out. He was just watching and it stressed me out so after like 3 minutes I just told him that I can't say the answer and he told me to write it down. I'm facing this almost every day and get the same looks from people and that just worsens my social anxiety and keeps me from talking and socializing. I hate how misunderstood stuttering really is. Anyway, that's it. I just wanted to share this, I feel a little better now.
