In my case it is usually the expectations of other people. For a couple of years my main avoidance strategy was to write an anonymous blog under the pseudonym of "André the BFG" which allowed me to open my bombdoors without reference to anyone else's expectations. Once I'd splattered out a page or two of inconsequential verbiage I found the real stuff flowed more easily.

The trouble with this strategy is that it has a limited lifetime. André the BFG gradually gained a readership. He received comments. He replied to comments. My alter ego took on a life of its own, and began to suffer writer's block himself. Although André struggled mightily to stay detached, he began to make friends with his readers, and to realise that they deserved only the best. He started to care about the expectations of others. Which kind of negated his whole purpose. So he fell on his pen.

But he did uncork my blockage during the time he was alive, and the effect stayed with me for another two or three years after that.

“Wikipedia is run by hippies of course - the same kind of impractical utopian losers who gave us the first affordable desktop computer and the iPod”
Andre the BFG, Andre's Adventures in MySpace

“Led Zeppelin was the rock band's rock band, but it was Plant who made it special. He had the knack of taking a seemingly inconsequential string of words, adding a searing shriek, and knocking the listener back on his heels. This was no less impressive on stage than in the restaurant.”
Andre the BFG, Andre's Adventures in MySpace

“There is no relationship between brain size and intelligence. There is however a strong correlation between the size of the brain and the tendency to monthly episodes of irrational moodiness.”
Andre the BFG, Andre's Adventures in MySpace

“From the moment I picked up your book until I put it down, I was convulsed with laughter. Some day I intend reading it.”
Groucho Marx

“As democracy is perfected, the office of president represents, more and more closely, the inner soul of the people. On some great and glorious day the plain folks of the land will reach their heart's desire at last and the White House will be adorned by a downright moron.”
H.L. Mencken, On Politics: A Carnival of Buncombe

“Politicians are not born; they are excreted.”
Marcus Tullius Cicero

“To be fair, any condemnation of the worst parts of human nature is going to read as a veiled criticism of Trump”
Alicia Ewert

“Heavy Metal would not exist without Led Zeppelin, and if it did, it would suck.”
Dave Grohl
