Thanks for the question, takes courage to even reach out to people! I block also, but I seemed to have made some significant progress recently from just taking my time more. Not just when I'm about to block, but with everything. I've slowed down my talking speed and it seems to help me get through blocks easier. I used to worry that people would find how slow I'm talking, weird. But in reality, I'm not even talking that slow. It's just my perception that I'm talking slow. Sounds like you're already confident. Don't lose that. Try to talk more to your parents, gain the confidence there too. Train yourself to get comfortable. Don't let your stutter define when you're allowed to speak. You'll absolutely rock this. Keep going!
