Things I'm tired of Vol. 1 People asking me if I've forgotten my name when I reply with "uhhh" or take to long to reply when asked. How people just move on with the conversation like you didn't even start saying something when you get badly stuck on a word or phrase, you just have to slowing lower you voice and act like you never tried to speak. The way my brain automatically looks for triggering situations and makes me stress days before they can even happen. The way people start looking away when you get stuck on a word for too long.
