Starting a new job on Monday, dreading introducing myself So after nearly a year of being unemployed, my stutter has gotten a bit worse. I’m starting a full time job on Monday and the part I’m dreading is introducing myself. As I understand it a lot of people with speech impediments struggle with their name. I feel like I wouldn’t be nervous at all if I didn’t have to introduce myself as I’m quite good at hiding my stutter by changing words. But I’m just dreading the initial interaction with all my different co workers. It’s the same thing over and over of me struggling to say my own name and the inevitable joke from the other people of “oh forget your name did you” (I know that they don’t mean any malice by this and it’s an off handed comment but it still stings a bit)
