That is rough. There is so much too choose for me. Maybe the time that I was at a group job interview everyone started to laugh at me when I started to have a block and one woman even pulled out her phone to record me. Or maybe when I use to do "exposure therapy" and tried ordering food on the phone and I could hear everyone laughing in background. I think I was put on speaker so everyone can hear me stutter. There was one time I was on a date and the women visibly put her arms over her head because of the embarrassment or maybe because she didn't want me to see her laughing. She had to go home soon after and then ghosted me. Or maybe every day at work when I see people imitate my stutter.
