Hooray for suddenly stuttering on new words?! I’m sure it’s not just me that starts to develop blocks on new words that I don’t normally stutter on. Just when I think that things are getting manageable, I now have trouble saying my own damn name. Yes, for those of you that will recommend saying, “my name is....” I’ve tried that. When it gets to my name I block and have to force it out. This is difficult being that I work in the restaurant industry and just started a new job. So I’m having to introduce myself to someone new practically everyday. I take it day by day and I don’t seek perfection, but I can’t help and vent to people that understand. Like all of you. Ugh, it’s just so frustrating. Alright, stepping off of my soapbox.
