Advice For Social Anxiety Amplifying Block First let me preface by saying my impediment is mild to moderate. I can’t imagine what it is like for you all with a sever stutter. I’m so sorry you live through that, and I won’t pretend to know what that’s like. So long story short I’ve had a block stutter since 4th grade. I’m 35. I have a hard time with strong consonants on syllable changes. It’s amplified x10 when in social situations. I go from like 10% block with just my wife or close family to blocking every time on specific words. It happens at social events with a lot of people or when 1 on 1 with strangers. I think this is due to anxiety. I was curious if anyone has a similar issue and what are some things that have helped you?
