Stuttered in class So today is my first day of classes for the new semester. I went to class today trying to hype myself up for the introduction part but when it came to my turn I just couldn’t do it. I tried to say “Hi my name is” but as soon as I reached name the words just stopped forming. So I ended up just asking (whilst stuttering literally 500 million times) if they could just skip me. It’s probably the most embarrassed I felt in a while I just wanted to cry I can’t lie. Anyways my next class is in three hours and I’m thinking of just ditching it and maybe the ones tomorrow so I can avoid the introduction part. Btw I did email my professors beforehand to tell them I have a stutter so that parts over.
