I feel this so much. What's hilarious in a terrible way is when I can feel a stutter coming on but I try to push through it. For example someone at checkout was being nice and asked how I've been. Instead of doing the safe "pretty good" I decided that NO I HAVE to give them more. I knew it was a bad idea before I even opened my mouth but alas, i went for it. I tried to say "pretty good, how about you?" Which game out we "h-" *awkward pause* which they responded with "huh"? And I just said "nevermind" and wanted to disappear. The truth is? The game was rigged from the start 🙃
