When I was little words starting with an 'a' syllable were very hard for me to speak, now I have difficulty speaking words starting from 'r' syllable. Today during my chemistry class, the teacher was teaching about electron's revolution in the orbital, i wanted to ask a doubt about **ROTATION** but was unable to as I was scared if i stuttered it would be very embarrassing. Once when I was late at my school, The vice principal caught me on the way to the class and asked me question which i dodged somehow, later he proceeded to ask me my class teacher's name (which was **Renu**), I was unable to speak her name so i just stood there. He probably thought that I had some kind of mental illness. I was sooo fucking embarassed.
