I had a HARD stutter with a customer service rep and I’m embarrassed to oblivion omd I’ve had a stutter ever since I was a kid. But yk what makes it suck? Is that so many times my voice will be fine right, like a normal dude. But then all of a sudden, there’s these flare ups where I stutter so hard I literally can’t utter a WORD. Like on the phone with the lady right when she said bye, there was a solid 3 SECONDS silence cause I just couldn’t make a sound. Then I finally said have a good one She probably thinks I’m mad weird now bro I hate everything. I like my voice (after years of not liking it) but I hate my stutter. I’m cooked bro
