Glad to hear it man. You're in a tough time of life right now. I went through it too. It's tough because you don't know what you don't know yet. Life experience is so much deeper than what you're desc...

You definitely didn’t make a fool of yourself. We all know ppl who stutter, and those who are ‘fluent’ trip over words all the time. Your server only felt compassion and patience... you’re definitely ...

Good. That's important to focus on. You were criterially successful in communicating the intended information. And by criterially I mean: The exchange worked. It may not have been with the exact conf...

What a great question. Yes, I think I would prefer it, because their transparency would create an opportunity for them to showcase it in a positive light if they chose to do so. I feel like it's my jo...

I appreciate your thoughtful reply! I'd leave that decision completely up to the individual and wouldn't address it until they chose to. If they did mention it at some point, I think that would be a f...
