yep! I've been doing this for as long as I can remember I'm 33 and I did this just the other day. I have a real problem with words that start with the s sound, but the moment the other person says the word I was trying to say I can say it after them without issue. For me, it feels like I put a lot of pressure on myself to say the word in question but the moment the other person say the word it's like, ok he/she know what I'm saying which allows me to relax and now I can say the word without being anxious
