I just cannot do any types of personal questions where there are no word substitutes. "First and Last name please?" "Where do you work?" "Where are you from?" Etc... I immediately lock up and cant force out the words. I hate to admit this, but I give a different name when I get a haircut :/ My real name is Tom, which is very hard for me to say. Instead I say Eric, because for some reason I never stutter on that name. I feel pure guilt and shame the whole time and the rest of the day :(
