As we all have endured, people can be so cruel. As an adult I was giving my credit card information over the phone and the lady actually said “you sound nervous. Are you sure this is YOUR credit card?”’ I have never shut someone down so hard in all my life. My introverted, people-pleasing, social anxiety ridden self grew up in the moment. I said SO clearly “I have a speech problem.” She ended up apologizing but I have often thought about how I really should have reached out to a manager of something.
