Wow I never ever thought of it so deeply before. I'm kind of on the side of hesitation. Hence I just get lots of speech blocks. What would your suggestion for me be? Regarding this trigger. How would I give it less significance without constantly thinking about struggling to say the word I want to say. As I said before. I hesitate and overthink my speech ALOT. It's so so bad. Im just generally a person that overthinks everything. I also have a little ocd when it comes to just general things where my brain is overacted. It's just really hard to keep it in check. And this leads to speech. Overthinking. Worried about stuttering or speech blocks. The only time I remember not stuttering is when venting about my stutter. Usually I get emotional and just speak my mind. I remember feeling less fear of stuttering and I barely got stuck on any words. This was... actually 2 weeks ago. Any advice will be greatly appreciated. It's just overthink/hesitation/speech blocks (tons) I can't even say my own name
