As others have said, this guy sounds like a jerk and I’m sorry you got hurt by him. Also, in regards to your second sentence - I struggled for years trying to hide my stutter and it caused nothing bu...

Yes, I had zero awareness during blocks UNTIL one day I somehow managed to know what was happening and then I snapped out of it. At the gym, a guy asked me how many sets I had left, and **I felt a s...

I see what you meant. I rarely speaking out loud, but speak in mind a lot. I read from Lee Lovett to stop trying to rehearse my speech in mind just moment before saying it, and it somewhat helped.  ...

Give it a shot, it doesn’t hurt to try. I’d love for you to try it and get rid of blocking. Then I’ll feel even more accomplished knowing that the myth of “YoU CaNT FuX a StUTTeR” is busted. I fixed...

Nice. The fact you told me that you’ve had blocks, and they’ve **disappeared** but came back in 2019, lets me know that you CAN/DID get rid of it and it’s not genetic. But, I think the traumatic memor...

Yes, before I had a problem saying my name and I would block on it. My name started with an “A” and I blocked on vowels (A, E, I, O, U). After I did what I did, I managed to recover and now I’m comp...

I might chop my response into sections because this is a topic I feel deeply about. So I am a 5’0, 22 year old disabled man. By no means am I conventionally desirable in the eyes of society. And with...

I believe it’s behavior based for you. Because I never stuttered my entire life until a couple of years ago. I didn’t have any head injury or any genetic issues with me. If this just came out of nowhe...
