Does anyone feel nervous while ordering meals in person? I hope I’m not the only one. But at times for sure a stutter may come out while ordering like drive thru or even ordering food at a sit down place. There’s moments I don’t stutter which feels very great but there’s some moments where I would be ordering and it’s all good then that word I stutter and I’m just like dang :( especially in front of my girlfriend, for sure she’s comforting and everything but it sucks to stutter in front of her because I feel so awkward and stuff. I try my best to take a deep breath before I start to order or interact if they ask questions.
