Names are famously difficult. Harley is mine, and even though some might think it's an easy one because I can slide into the H as opposed to a letter you can't slide into, like B, I tend to block quit...

All three, but mostly severe blocks, especially when I'm stressed or in public. At home when I can actually get more things out it's more repetitions. Prolongations are more with letters like s or f o...

I have all three, but blocks and repetitions prevail. It's hard for me to start saying something, because the beginning of a phrase often begins with a block. It's exhausting. Besides, while I stutter...

All of the above. Plus the inability to pronounce some words correctly. I think I learned to go around blocks quite well by changing (the order of) words in the last moment. Clumsy but better than me ...

I do a combination of all three, but mostly blocking, which usually last about 5-10 seconds. And if I’m blocking longer than that I try to use prolongations or repetitions to get the word out....

I transfer the tension to my eyes. If I have them wide open, it's because I'm getting over a block. If I repeat words two times ("Like-Like that"), it's a sort of "reset" to avoid a block due to the d...

When I block, my whole body becomes tense. I tend to kind of bow my head involuntarily. People break eye contact with me. I even twitch my arms or hands when I block for too long. Sometimes, the words...
