As a filler word, how often would you say you use the word "like"? Or any filler words in general?
Very often. But only because I know that I can get away with it. If I had a more important role that required a more fluent type of communication, I'd get rid of it easily. All it takes it consciously thinking of what you're going to say before you open your mouth to say it.

Like I don't know what you're asking... like, elaborate maybe? I just had late night snacks and it's like it's really late here.. like really really late.
Okay, I'm just being silly. I only use like when I want to express I appreciate something "I like this".. not to fill in when I'm trying to phrase a sentence
uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
like never
I use the word 'like' but never misuse it. I hate filler words, but the one I hate most is 'so' at the beginning of a sentence!

Rarely. That was a pet peeve of my parents so they drilled it out of me.
As infrequently as possible. Some words I refuse to use at all as they annoy me. Others I prob say too much... But liken them to candy.
Rarely. It's a turn-off to hear people say "like" every 5th word.
People moan about them but they seem to dislike silence even more. I don't use "like" because it doesn't fit into a sentence well but I do "umm" and "hmmm" more than I should. Various forms of "you know" get used a lot too
"Hmmm..." is my go-to filler. I've used it mostly while flirting on okcupid or tinder.
I hate the superfluous like. Hate hate hate it. I stopped watching some YouTube channels because the speaker (s) would use it every three words. 😡
I tend to think of what im going to say before i say it. But the rare times im unprepared, i say like and um a lot
I don't think I use it much at all. Although I haven't been paying attention. I guess it will pay more attention now. I however, have been known to start counting the number of likes in the speech of others because it really annoys me.
since i'm not a native English speaker, i have not gotten into that terrible habit yet. i only use it for it's purpose. comparison.
I use "You know?" Way too much.. LOL.. I use like sometimes but not that much.. Mostly when I'm giving examples of something..
