Fear of Words I’ve had a stutter, specifically blocks, for nearly 5 years and before it’s been random on what words I have a block on/trouble saying. However, recently I’ve been fearing that I couldn’t say certain words and end up stuttering on them. Does anyone else feel the same way or have any suggestions on how to build confidence?
