Does anyone else struggle to stand up for themselves because they think they will stutter? **When someone disrespects me I often ignore them because I am scared that I will look like an idiot if I try to respond and stutter a lot during the response.** Often I do end up stuttering in such situations as I am nervous/anxious, because I have been disrespected/wronged in some way and there is some kind of social pressure to respond appropriately [View Poll](https://www.reddit.com/poll/wo84wt)
