I block and stammer. It's embarrassing as fuck to block in front of people at a meeting or when you have to do a speech. And people who don't have this problem don't understand and they don't care and it's very annoying and makes me want to crawl into a cave. What's interesting is I go to a doctor now who is a really bad blocker I mean he makes the noises and everything and I feel for him but I honestly think he should not be a prescribing physician because I can't understand a word he's saying and I don't think I'm getting the right care. I'm probably going to have to switch doctors because of this and I hope that he realizes and finds it in his heart to tap out of the public facing doctoring and going to research/development or something where he could thrive.
