I was doing a presentation infront of the class, just the typical "introduce yourself" to the class kinda thing. The teacher asked for my brother's name since she thinks she had him, and i stuttered and couldn't say it. The whole class laughed at me because they thought I forgot my brother's name and the teacher asked me after class if I stuttered and said that she felt bad. I still have flashbacks to it because it still haunts me to this day. Fuck my life. Other times I stutter when saying my own name and people ask "Haha, did you forget your name". It fucking hurts. Stuttering in general just made me realize how ignorant people are and how much of an asshole they can be.
