Got a job recently So I started working an internship recently, so I'm at the learning phase so I have to ask my seniors extremely difficult and complex questions. That make me stutter even more than usual. It feels horrible, considering all of them are so free and articulate and I'm always on edge. Today a guy that thinks that I don't understand his mother tongue literally said, "I don't understand anything that guy says". When I was walking away from him. I don't how to deal with this because I understand the subject matter just as well as the rest of them but struggle to communicate it, and looking so incompetent makes me feel like shit, I feel like they all think that I'm inferior to them and the ones that are being nice to me are doing so out of pity. What do I do? This is making me incredibly sad and I don't want it to effect my mental health. How do I deal with this?
