Are we lazy? I recently had a realization about my stuttering. A while ago, I went to therapy. For about a month, I actually noticed myself improving, but I did not fully realize it at the time. After a while, I quit. The reason was that the practice routine felt too much. Around 3 hours a day of voice exercises, breathing drills, and other stuff. I just didn’t stick with it. Looking back, I think the fault was on me. It wasn’t that the therapy didn’t work, but that I wasn’t putting in the consistent effort. I now believe stuttering isn’t something we can’t overcome. It’s that we often give up before putting in enough work. Just like studying, getting fit, or building a career, progress takes dedication. I think as stutterers we put ourselves under so much mental pressure and overthink everything, and that makes it harder. But nothing changes if we only think about it, right? Now I feel like stuttering is a habit that can be reduced with consistent practice and effort. That’s just my opinion. What do you guys think? Or as usual am I just overthinking? lol
