I just need to vent about it I went to vote today and they always ask you to state your name. My name is what I ALWAYS stutter on, it starts with a B. I couldn’t get past b-b-b-b for so long. It made me feel embarrassed and sad. I’m a talkative person and am fluent most of the time, so it’s confusing to the person asking for my name. I just hate it, it makes me feel inept.
