Yeah, because it's so easy to not give a shit about taking 10 seconds to pronounce a syllable. Your face is getting red, your muscles are tensed up and you're struggling to get air flowing; you're face contorts, and your hands clench, as you squeeze and struggle to get a sound out. Everyone is staring at you wondering what the fuck is going on, confused, trying their best not to burst into laughter. And then after what feels an eternity of this, you're *finally* able to get your name out, and introduce yourself to the new person you've just met. Can't think of a better first impression. But hey, just stop caring, I'm sure no one even notices it.
