:( And then i sometimes just "freeze"....staring at the floor....wall... trying to get out "bottle"... waving my hands... Its a combination of a "speach" block and "recall" issue (i have Dyslexia t...

yep happens to me too. it's so annoying because everything will be going fine one second and the next I can't say anything fluently anymore......

The word “choosing” is not the most accurate. We have chosen to block in the same way someone “chooses” a harmful romantic partner to cope with something else unbearable. The academic research is p...

Doing a Zoom presentation my freshman year of college to a class of about 100 people? I came in so confident, only to realize I couldn’t get a word out due to my blocks. So, I sat there for 30 minutes...

Went to the doctors. Nurse asked me a question while taking my blood pressure and i started stuttering. I start blinking and make a weird face while I'm stuck on a word; and the blocks can last a few ...

In my 20s, talking to someone on the sidewalk, having a long block, losing oxygen, passing out and waking up to bystanders....

I agree with you. Learned blocks is another manifestation of stuttering. Somehow PWS noticed that delaying uttering words makes easy perception on the audience. Attempts to interrupt the blocks transf...

Usually, when I get through a block, there is no other associated stuttering....

I block hard a lot too. Particularly on F words recently. It feels like the block is a symptom of the disorder to me because it feels so engrained in me, but there are times where I get pissed off and...

I have a repetitive/prolongation stutter sometimes, but i mostly have a blocking stutter. Probably like 60/20/20% for blocking, repetition, and prolongation. Certain sounds tend to be more likely for ...

Well, you’d be one of the very few stutterers that I’ve seen on here who do not cite blocking as “I know I’m gonna stutter bad, so I try to say it without stuttering but I can’t”. You don’t have a re...

Okay, you're insane. Why would I ever prefer to make an ugly face and stand there awkwardly while I try to force words out? I would be FAR happier with a repetitive stutter. It's also in academic rese...

Believe it or not, you are choosing to block. Blocking is 100% a learned behavior that is preferable to stuttering by stutterers and listeners even, but ultimately only reinforces stuttering. You blo...

Is blocking an active act for you? Blocking is just a type of stutter to me, it's not like I'm making a choice to block instead of do repetition....

>*"Whenever our nervous system and brain predicts that the probability of regulating them positively is low, it actives the blocking mechanism in order to prevent our next movement. We freeze."* I ag...

>*"I will read and save them again later"* Ok :) >*"if I am speaking fluently one minute, I experience a blockage the next. I can't understand it."* Why do we speak fluently one minute, and we stut...

Thank you for your responses. I will read and save them again later. By the way, if I am speaking fluently one minute, I experience a blockage the next. It's enough to drive me crazy :) I can't unders...

Ohh, yeah. Once I get the flow, it's easier to go on unless there's some weird word or sentence that breaks it. The brain knows what to say but the mouth doesn't let it, eventually the two sync up...

It happened to me in the past. It sucks because sometimes when I'm walking away I can't say bye so I either stay in that place until I say it (it probably looks weird), or walk away without saying any...

You got a block, sometimes I find pausing for a second and taking a breath helps, also putting an extra sound on the word like “a-bye” or “hmm-bye” can help. Or even just using a whole other word like...
