That’s not the case for me. For example, during school presentations, I completely improvised most of the time. I added five pictures to my PowerPoint, watched a YouTube video about the topic, and then just freestyled, got the mark 1 (A), never had any blocks, and wouldn’t have them now. It’s the same with interviews or approaches—I just talk. But when I have blocks, sometimes before I say anything or try to say it, I already know that if I tried to say that one word I have in mind, I wouldn’t be able to. Sometimes I have a block where the next day, in the exact same situation, when I think the exact same thing, I wouldn’t have one. It’s so random.
