body language, gestures- can really be used as a tool for stuttering, at least in my case.- I'm Bilingual- so say I'm talking to a friend/college- random person in my origin country/origin language- we all get those blocks where we can't get the words out no matter what. BREAKING THE PATTERN really helps me here- what do I mean by that?- literally breaking the pattern of whatever kind of situation I was in before trying to get those words out- weather it's something like changing up my body language- saying something like holy fuck look at that- causing a distraction- or even fucking changing the fucking language of the word I'M trying to say. If none of those work I just go with: "damn I can't remember that word"...-yes I can, I just can't say it😭
