I definitely agree with a lot of what InfiniteLoopTA is saying. I think people are more willing to talk than we think. We project our own discomfort, and may make up stories that will keep us from h...

Sounds a lot like my stutter, I have a name with a harsh syllable at the start (ka sound) so it's annoying to get my own name out sometimes. It's definitely linked to anxiety, whether stuttering cause...

That's pretty crazy I've never met anyone else with a stutter like mine- only other ones I've seen are were substantially worse than my case. Yeah I usually have to say "I'm" before my name to even ha...

Wow, our situations are so similar it almost feels like I wrote this. I also struggle on hard consonants like B, C and D. My name was supposed to be Christopher, but my mum decided on Sean at the las...
