I can relate so much with knowing what to say but choosing to pretend that you don’t have any idea just to escape from stuttering. I’ve had several occasions when in a meeting that I just can’t express how I truly feel and what’s on my mind. And when I choose to speak, my eyes will drift into my colleagues and I can somehow imagine what they’re thinking, “why does he speak like that?”. People in my team are bad. They sometimes reenact a scene of me struggling to say a word.
