I don't know if it looks vulnerable or just weak and stupid, honestly. Plus, even if I try to act nonchalant, I always turn red which makes me even more embarrassed. I'm not actually shy, but my stutter makes me silent and awkward even though I trust her not to make fun of me and to be patient while I struggle.
