Blocking before speaking Hey everyone, i just had a problem and I was wondering if anyone knows how to fix it or just help me with it, so I don’t really stutter while speaking, but I have a huge problem while beginning to speak, I always get nervous and I always just block and can’t let out a single noise when starting to speak, and it’s really bad, like I can’t get a word out and even if I stop and try to breathe I just can’t say anything , sometimes when I manage to get the first word out I can say the whole sentence with no problem, but sometimes I just block and I even do weird head movements like raising my head or doing weird gestures with my head cause I just can’t start speaking, because of this I’ve been kinda sad lately, I also really like a girl and I don’t wanna embarrass myself so I just need some help, any tips would be greatly appreciated, cheers
