I had a woman laugh when I stammered in the phone a few days back. Fuck 'em. Their problem, not mine. If you let it get the better of you than it wins. If this girl really thinks you're a worse person...

I advise you to try and act as if it doesn't exist or at least don't pay too much attention to it. Good or bad. Because even when someone tries to tell me its ok, I understand, I suddenly become aware...
