yes... i am honestly pretty scared of the coming school year, having to introduce myself to the new teachers in front of the class :/ my name starts with a "ca" and i have a blockage type of stutter where i can't say the word at all, so i get nervous and clear my throat a lot, breath hectically or blink a lot and then i can't control that so i do it over and over until i am able to stop myself... it's pretty much a mess haha. it might not be that noticable to the people around me but to me it's like it's happening in slow motion. luckily my teachers get notified about my stutter and they don't call on me very often :)
