I think it's mostly m's, h's, and l's for me, but it's usually when it's the first word in sentence or phrase, so I'll block when saying the word "months" but I won't block when I say "I will be back ...

If you can talk fluently sometimes and have no articulation/pronunciation trouble, then the issue is more likely in your diaphragm, not your mouth....

Blocks are definitely worse. When blocking I’ve had people at best assume I’m just done talking and at worst ask genuinely if I’m having a stroke. I get a lot more weird looks when my face moves and i...

blocks are definitely more annoying than repetitions. time just stands still, especially when you can hear it get super quiet around you...

From a reasoning standpoint it makes sense, because 'repeating what you just said' is basically redundant and not necessary, whereas, when you block it's in our compulsive nature to get stuck. Of cour...

Blocks for me. As a kid I would hyperventilate during a block because I felt like I was losing air. Now I’m more unbothered than anything about it....

I have the same, but the reason is different. If I block without forcing, then people hear nothing so for others it looks like that I'm not trying to speak while I"m in a block. So whenever I'm out of...

For me blocks are worse but people tend to make fun of repetitions more ( “ t t t t t t today junior! “) which sucks and makes me want to just stop talking after that 🫤....

Blocks bc people don’t even want to listen, or don’t realize that I’m still talking. It’s also more physically strenuous for me...

Blocks are the more “severe” form of dysfluency. Blocks occur *because* you are trying to forcefully avoid a repetition. Some people can carry on like this successfully for a while, but this “soluti...

I think if a mild stutterer believes that repetitions are annoying, then he will hide repetitions and change to 'blocking' in doing so he becomes a covert stutterer. I'm a severe stutterer who blocks ...

Blocks are very annoying, i get blocks too but before i even speak which makes me stay quiet in conversations :/...

Unpopular opinion I would say that, there is a good chance, that this situation is “goals”. 1. He’s *chosen* to be a public talker. 2. He moves through his repetition without having a hard, sile...

**"How to reduce blocking quickly?"** [This post](https://www.reddit.com/r/Stutter/comments/xygcvb/how_to_find_confidence_and_push_yourself/iri11ng/?context=3) may help **"A few months ago I was sin...

Everything you describe is very classic stuff for people with impactful dysfluency! My first tip is to let them know you speak with a stutter. Maybe even wear a name badge saying “I stutter”. Make ...

In my experience, I block more on my name, probably because I am nervous. If I have a big presentation or something, I will practice what I am going to say while “stretching” my words, to hopefully be...

Some people with autism have facial tics and "coughing" tics. Their tics happen even when they are not in the middle of speaking. The difference is, for us, facial tics or what looks like facial tics ...

This honestly doesn't make much sense to me. If you have to push to get your words out, then that is a specific trait of the way you stutter and the effort you need to put in to break a block. You p...

That’s great that the pep talks work for you! So, with family, do you stay quiet from embarrassment or bc it’s too tiring trying to talk? Guess what? After all that about being fluent…I resigned my...

Ah yes that's true. But I just mean like for people who stutter. Public speaking and trying to be fluent as in not stutter would be a bit hard to achieve. I actually done my presentation separately to...
