We are our worst critics, and to be honest, it is not irrational either. I personally loathe listening to myself or others stutter because it just feels so deeply wrong. My armchair psychologist theory is that these random stops in speech break our predictive thinking, the thing that makes us so smart but also sensitive to unexpected patterns. That's why I'm trying to focus only on the flow now, dodging the blocks by any means necessary, almost gamifying it in my head like I'm some ninja getting through obstacles 😂
