Stuttered saying name twice within an hour Just had this happen. I met a new manager today, and when he asked me my name… I couldn’t spit it out and eventually started from “My name is …”. That did the trick, but it was SO embarrassing. Then, he came around AGAIN with his boss an hour later, and had to introduce myself a second time. Pretty much the same thing happened, but the second manager had the audacity to mock me as I was stuttering. She was like “D,d,d…” right along with me. Feeling so angry and embarrassed.
