Stuttering on my Own Name

Stuttering on my Own Name I have learned over the years to not let my stuttering stop me from social situations, but I still find it extremely funny that my own name starts with sounds that are a big stuttering block for me. Every once in a while people are like, "Hey, did you forget your name there for a second?" and I just have to laugh it off. It's never bothered me in a huge way but I just think it's a funny situation. As I get older though, I definitely hope I can work past it and introduce myself smoothly, so people hear the same extroversion that I feel inside! As I'm getting older and shedding my nervousness, it would be great if my speech could sound not so nervous all the time, too.
