That’s a good mindset to have, but don’t you feel like inferior and indifferent after you block? Especially after blocking infront of someone you want to impress? I’m trying to learn to accept it because it’s literally all I can do but I haven’t yet and I’m avoiding so much social interaction just based on the premise of fear. I wish I had the courage to accept my speech issues. The furthest I’ve gotten is that if I do block I feel bad for a while and then just say “I guess I have to keep enduring that” for the rest of my life
