I felt this IMMENSELY. Today was my first day and I stuttered on my name and my birth sign. They seemed nice enough it’s just embarrassing. Idk if it’ll work for you, seeing as how you always meet these people, but when I worked retail and people would ask for my name, I would say an easier name to get out (we didn’t have name tags). Of course, my lil black self chose Jessica, but it helped avoid the awkwardness and judging.
