Same here. I ordered a slice of pizza at the Sam’s Club food court today and I was standing in line overthinking and repeating in my head “can I please have a pepperoni pizza and a fountain drink”. Over and over again. I was staring at the man behind the counter and I just said to myself “think of this as practice, everything will be fine” and when I got to the counter to order I asked for a cheese pizza instead of pepperoni because I knew I was about to stutter on pepperoni. The cheese pizza was still good even though pepperoni was what I wanted. Anyways I didn’t stutter and I’m proud of myself. That was the one stranger I talked to today
