not a single day without embarassment and cringe! damn guys I'm so tired of this! Do you have such embarassing situation with stuttering daily? Like when people don't understand what is happening to you when you have speechblock trying your best to say one fuckin word while your face is glitching in nervous tics. Today at dorm when guys who are responsible for checking tidiness in rooms walked in a room and asked 2 questions. I just should have said "Yes". And lol I had a terrible block on this little the easiest word in the world. For 5 seconds I stood in front of them with a disorted face suffocating and saying "ye-ye-ye-ye-ye". Haha I just can't. They like: "you mean yes?". If you saw their faces!! Their expressions on faces were just "wtf?". I will never forget those shocked eyes. It was so embarassing but so hilarious! The next day one my acquaintance was passing by and saying "Hello". And I had a terrible block again. I stuck on "h" and was like "he-he-he-he" while she already gone. Then when she was like 7 metres away of me I finally defeated this block and shouted out "Hi!!" after her. Lol. There was a lot of people around, they gave me this side eye :) Another day another cringe. I feel like walking clown. It's a shame to tears that I can't control it, it makes me so strange and hold me back in every espect of life. And at the same time it's so funny. Those expressions on people faces. Somebody is shocked and doesn't know how to react, someone is holding back laughter, someone is not paying attention and shows understanding and patience waiting till I say what I need to say. I want to hear your stories!! Did you have the same situations? ​
