Not sure entirely, but whatever it is, it needs to leave me now, yes it does.

It's terrible, especially when you have to write an essay or it's for an assessment and you have absolutely no idea what to write.

I don't get writer's block, or at least, not as what most would think of as writer's block. I often want to write, but don't have anything to say or write about, which isn't really the same thing. Other times I simply don't feel like writing, but I wouldn't call that a blockage.

In other words, I'm not sure how to answer this question I do believe it's a real thing, but it's not something that's ever affected me personally. So I can't really answer either way here.

Both. It's something that we give ourselves, whether through doubts, laziness, business, etc. But, that doesn't mean that it can't hinder us. XP

(Still not as bad as having the ideas and not being able to put pen to paper)

However... it is still one of the worst forms of torture a writer could ever experience, especially when it lasts over half a year!

I don't know if I'm "blocked" right now or just don't have anything to say.

Writer's block is a combination of many things... but for me, it's a lack of self-confidence in my own originality.

Painful, whether it's imaginary or not.
