Honestly I would be a grocery store cashier if I were you. You interact with people but usually speaking can be kept to a minimum. This will help you with your anxiety which is paramount for a happy l...

I've had similar experiences as well, so I understand how stressful this is. I've tried calling random stores and introducing myself and asking questions (like what time they close, if they take cash,...

Damn, this is pretty much the exact same as me , I thought I was the only one who had a variation like this. I used to have an awful stutter and as I grew older it slowly went away. But letters starti...
