What's your name ? #Stutterstory If you read my last post you know I work as a Pharmacy Assistant here's the link https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/5h9zj9/embarrassing_stutter_story/ So I recently started working at a different Pharmacy. I was introduce to everyone by the Chief she told everyone my name and experience etc. Another worker got talking to me everything I was fine I was barely stuttered until she asked me "what was your name again" This is how it came out Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhhhhhhhh Shhhhhh Shhhhhho Sho. I got so hot and starting sweating that I was how bad I was trying to say my own name. Sometimes I can say name clearly and there's time where I can't say my name at all. The worker just repeated my name and went back to her work. Everyone went quiet while I was trying to say my own name another worker gave me a weird look. This happened on my first day which put me in a sad mood for the rest of the day. I've been there for a 2 weeks now.
