Hi Benny, This is super common. Your name is tough because you only use it when you’re meeting someone new, and that’s a challenging situation for people who stutter. You’re worried what they’ll think about you when they hear you stutter, and that fear increases the chance that you will stutter. Also, for those who can switch words to avoid stuttering, well that’s one word with no synonym! My advice would be to get some speech therapy; and in the meantime, work on your confidence. Disclose your stuttering, and stutter confidently. I bet this sounds crazy, but it works if you keep at it. Good luck!
