Day-to-day stuff I don't let anything bother me, it's when I have to be put on the spot/in the spotlight, or call someone I've never met that I get anxiety and/or feel like I would rather shrivel up and die than do it. My stuttering skyrockets on the phone for some reason that I haven't been able to figure out why that is. I was thankfully never bullied about it in elementary/middle/high school (at least to my face, but I still felt like I was being silently judged a lot of the times). Most of the flak I have gotten has oddly enough been *adults*, pretty much all of them over the phone. I've been hung up on SO MANY TIMES because people thought the connection was bad. At this point if someone does that to me in a dismissive way, I just won't call them back. I had to reprimand someone over the phone at the DMV because she was being an absolute bitch towards me until I shut her down.
