I enjoy solo travelling and exploring new places. So I usually stay in dorms which are quite cheap. So one day while I entered my room I saw a new group had joined and they came up to ask my name. It literally took me 30 seconds to get a vowel out and I was just blocked after that. I just gave up and showed them my name on my IG profile 😅. It was extremely embarrassing for me. I don't think I can ever forget that incident but it drained my confidence quite badly for a couple of days. I usually get stuck more on the things which others expect me to reply without thinking such as my name or phone number or whatever.
