Hardest word The hardest word to get out of my mouth is, sadly, my own name. It is just kind of hurtful yknow. I don't have a bad stammer at all (but it is still clearly noticeable) so I can't really complain. It is just sad that the hardest thing when speaking, to me, is me. Second hardest thing is the date of my birthday. Picking up the phone and saying “Hello it's <name>” or having to say when i was born is spine tingling. Like why can't it be fking “basketball” or “Bookcase” ???
