I have thought about writing it down. It would definitely be easier, but I feel like that would just be admitting defeat to my stutter which I have too much pride for. (Today I gave up on saying the first name halfway through and just said the last. It was the worst feeling knowing I gave up)Plus I have to tell my boss over the phone 50% of the time. I do find that adding words before the name helps. Thank you for the reminder of saying things confidently, I feel like that does help sometimes. Honestly some stuff works sometimes, my stutter is more severe on some days than others as well. That’s why It’s so frustrating when it does happen. I’ve googled why do I stutter a million times because I’m like “ WHAT AM I DOING WRONG, SOMETHING IS CAUSING THIS” but I think I just have to accept that it’s a part of this wonderfully stupid thing called life
