I’m a freshman in college and I have to wear a mask at all times when I’m not in my dorm room. When I meet people, they can’t see that I stutter due to the mask. When introducing myself, I’ve heard “did you forget your name?” More times in the past two weeks than over my whole life up to this point, where it probably happened twice. It’s happened at least 5 times since I got here. I’m not hurt by it anymore but it’s still annoying and it sucks
