I'm fucking sick of this shit. I'm so embarassed, I feel like crying. I've had a stuttering problem ever since I could remember. At times it was decent, and at others it was awful. Well, today was the day was maybe one of the worst days ever. I was at Krav Maga, training with my friend. We had to get in groups of four, and we got with these two girls, one of them who I thought was really pretty. And I was meaning to talk to her for a while. It was going great, laughing and talking. Fast forward and the class is over. They're walking to their cars and I ask them what school they go to. Then I tell them I'm from whatever school I'm from, but I tell I them I just moved, and they ask me where from? I try to say "New York" but I said "N-n-n-n-n-n-new" and completely stopped. They were laughing so hard, especially the girl who I thought was really pretty. She said "I didn't want to laugh because I thought you had a problem." While she was still laughing. I made some stupid excuse that I choked on my water. I said "I'm from New York though." She said "You're from New York, got it" or something like that. She said it in a way that made me feel like a fucking idiot. My stuttering has never been that bad. I feel like fucking crying. By the way, I'm 15 turning 16 in January. I don't give a fuck about the spelling errors and/or grammatical mistakes that I made.
