Don't ever feel bad about it; at the end and of the day it is outside of our control. I understand what you mean, when a block slows down the flow of the conversation. Sometimes people do tend to swi...

Like I mentioned in my reply to the other commenter, perhaps us males are culturally ingrained to appear stiff and strong, which makes matters worse for the less fluent populace, who probably do not h...
