Whenever I think of how I sneeze WHILE I'm sneezing, it's just impossible to release that gush of air! I can go like 10 times 'almost sneezing'. It's so irritating! I've researched this on the internet and found that a lot of other people are also experiencing this. I also saw some techniques on how to fix this like looking into bright light, closing your eyes real tight or smelling pepper. Sadly, none of these worked for me. Any more ideas?

I agree maybe you should just relax and try not to distract yourself with the thought of how you look when you'r sneezing. Perhaps that is what's stopping yourself. Just relax and let it come naturally and always cover your mouth Lol.
You know I never knew about the light thing till I seem my cousin stare at one and then sneeze. When he did this a few times I asked if he was looking into the light to sneeze. He was and I thought it was the strangest thing. Next time I felt I had to sneeze I looked to the nearest light and it did work. I don't know why that would assist you but it seems to help. Pepper makes me sneeze if I have to or not, then it makes my sinus' all stuffy. Lol.
Have a great night. :)

I'm never good with these. I just learned the whole idea of looking up at bright lights to sneeze a few years ago and for me, it's kind of a hit or miss thing. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. The only thing I can think of about sneezing when you need to is try not to get distracted in the middle of one. When you've got to sneeze, take a break and just let go. It seems that when I'm more distracted I tend to not sneeze as easily.
