I feel like my issue is a lot weirder than most. (I stutter as well, mind you.) See, I suffer from major aphasia. I lose words, all the time. Basic, stupid words. I lost the word "cup" the other day, and got made fun of by my boss. And my general philosophy is that the more you make other people feel awkward about your disabilities, the more awkward you're going to feel about it. It's a feedback loop. Putting on that front isn't easy all the time, mind you. But that's been how I've dealt with it.
