*When I go to Mcdonalds and i am unable to say my order, I am angry because I cannot say the words for my order more than I am about what the random person thinks of me.* Where does that anger come from though? Why do you get emotional? If it was only about the physical sensation of stuttering, you might be annoyed about it, sure, but emotional? Are you sure what's making you emotional isn't the **conclusions** you draw (probably subconsciously) based off of the interaction? I would argue that what's the root of the anger/emotionality might be related to how your stuttering changes the perception of yourself. For example to someone who "can't even say their own name" – who is that person? Even though I would also say that I don't really care what a stranger thinks about my speech, those things are subconscious and deep-rooted which often makes it hard to pinpoint where the root of the issue lies,
