Crush I have a crush on someone and EVERYTIME I start a sentence I block but they’re very small and often unnoticeable, but recently I think my stutter has started to flare up more and I’m very nervous that when I talk to him again I’ll block and freeze. Whenever I block I make a face and I blink very very fast while jerking my head or snapping my fingers. If anyone has any tips on what I can do I’d appreciate (forgot to mention but I’m scared to tell him I stutter because he’s pretty “nonchalant “ and is kinda sassy sometimes so I’m scared he’d think I’m weird or something in secret)
