Really hurtful experience I(24F) have recently joined an operational work job in which I don't have to interact with people. When I gave the interview for the aforementioned job, I told the employer that I stammer and all, hope that won't be an issue. He said it's all right, you won't have to interact with clients anywhich ways. I was glad. My sir is really kind and supportive. Today was my 5th day at work, my 2 colleagues, sir and I were chatting about random stuff, telling each other about each other's families, basically getting to know each other. Everything was going smooth and in the last line i stammered so bad. My confidence dipped. And now I am in a loop of self loathing. Noone said anything, just smiled sympathetically and moved on but I am still stuck on it. I cried on my way home. I feel so enraged when I am not able to say sth which other people can say. Idk. Eh. Does anyone have any advice on how to not get in the loop of self loathing and embarassment?
