I hate it when I call someone up on the phone and I can only say a few words. I sound like an idiot or like I don't know English. I can't stand it. Just had to call back someone I haven't met before and I was nervous about how I would sound. I was having trouble just getting out my name and asking for the person who I needed to speak to. I ended up sounding so unconfident it kills me. Sometimes I feel like I am the only one out there in the world going though something like this. I know you guys are going the same stuff I have to go through with my stutter though. Some days I just wish I could just have a few minutes of fluency when I need to make an important phone call. I always trip up on my words and occasionally block on phone calls. That's why I never want to answer the phone at work or even my cell for that matter. If I don't know you I don't want to have to pick up and you think I'm some blabbering idiot. Anyone want to share some stories of tiles you were on the phone and couldn't get out everything you wanted to say so just let the other person do the talking?
