Some days, I feel like my stutter prevents me from doing anything remotely sociable. I'm sure many of you feel this way. It sometimes prevents me from ordering what I actually want at a restaurant, just because something is easier to say: "I don't really want that steak sandwich, and I actually want the grilled cheese, but it's so much easier to say S-sounds than G-sounds that day." Recently, I've been holding off talking to one of my professors about a lab position. It's been on my mind for weeks now, but I just can't get past my nerves. I've been a fairly talkative student in class with barely any stutter; he usually calls on me to answer questions after the class won't/can't, and I excel in that. But I just feel like when I go to his office and talk in front of him 1-on-1, the stress is going to compound with my anxiety and leave me as a mess. It's the small battles, I guess. Also, I totally relate to the Subway thing. Whenever I go to Subway and ask for spinach, they only put like three or four leaves on it, when in actuality, I want like ten handfuls of the stuff. I usually just let it slide, but some days I'll take the extra two minutes to slowly get my words out.
