i'll give a suggestion that's not a good long term solution: you could use your phone and type out a message in your notes app to communicate with someone. it's not a good long term solution because it's not confronting your reality, but at least it'll get you through one more day. the long term solution is to get used to your life being like this because your stutter is part of who you are. please don't let your stutter become all of who you are. i haven't met you, but i'm sure you believe there's more to who you are than your stutter. optimism is a choice you can make everyday and some days making that choice won't be easy the long long term solution is to realize how meaningless your interactions like this (e.g. talking to someone at the DMV) really are, so just roll with it
