Introductions Today was my first day of school and we had to introduce ourselves as always. The teacher got to me and I said my first name with a subtle block but I was still relieved that it wasn't too severe. But right after she asked me for my last name and I ended up blocking on it so I just spelled it out lmao 😭 I felt so embarrased and frustrated and it just hurt seeing everyone else being able to say their names so easily. This shit really sucks.
