No matter how good of a day I’m having for my stutter. I will always stutter my name when introducing myself. Some days I have bad stutter days where I can’t even complete a sentence without spending half the day and there are some days where you can’t even tell I stutter. But no matter the day or the conversation when introducing myself it always goes like this. Jack: Hey my names jack nice to meet you Me: oh hey, my names [extremely long pause] Christian (with stutter) No matter how long the pause is or how short I want the pause to be I can never help it and now I’m too the point where I just anticipate it and know it’s coming no matter how much I try to help it.
