Over it

Over it I hate when I'm trying to hold a conversation with someone or even just saying my name and my stutter blocks me from doing that. Today I had to introduce myself to a lot of people at my new job and it went horrible. The faces and the odd looks, the embarrassment! Starting to grow a huge hatred for my stutter... I was always hopeful but the constant embarrassment is so damaging and makes you not even want to socialize anymore
