I no longer repeat my words like St-st-st-stop I-i-i-i-it. Now It's silent. I make no noise until I can fully say the word. So my flow is very choppy and I can only say 1 word at a time... sometimes I may only be able to say half a word before a block happens. So there could be a 10 second gap before words just because I'm struggling to get it out. Because of embarrassment, people not understanding how to make me feel more comfortable, and the pain I feel from my body being so tense, I don't speak much to people at all so kiss relationships good bye When I talk to people my body tenses up and there's just no way for me to loosen up
