Blocks are the fucking worst. Everytime I get a block (which is becoming more often lol), I have such a severe urge to like... bang my head against the wall or something lol. Hugs, OP. It's tough isn't it? Honestly, I feel like I'm getting more blocks than the conventional repetitive stuttering. And I agree with you, the latter is so much more preferable. I've changed my nickname to something that's far easier to say for me. Another tip that's (kinda) worked for me is to add a subtle h sound before saying words that sound with short vowels, e.g (h)apple. Try not to make the h sound too obvious of course.
