Do we make ourselves stutter? Just had this thought the other day and thought I’ll share it. A majority of stutterers start to stutter around the age of 7-8. And everyone just says it’ll disappear in a year or two. But it doesn’t. We don’t know if it’s a neurological problem, or genetics. Me personally, I don’t have social anxiety, I love talking to new people, but yet I still stutter. But why don’t we stutter when we sing, talk to ourselves, or talk without thinking. But when we think about what we want to say, it usually ends up with us embarrassing ourselves. Is this out of habit? Do we know we’re already gonna stutter? But how come when we talk automatically without thinking, we barely stutter. Are we making ourselves stutter because we know were gonna stutter? It’s like we’re fully accustomed to stutter no matter what. But what if we change this mindset? Like imagining we never had a stutter to begin with? I’ve been testing out this theory, by talking to random in my class in college, without having the thought of stuttering in my mind. I believe it’s helped me tremendously. It’s like it’s decreased by almost 75%. So are we stuttering because it’s a habit to stutter?
