RE: Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | A Habit I Picked Up Without Realizing

There was a time I had a bad cough, despite the flu went away, but the cough stays. Dad brought me see the specialist, and he suggested me to see a psychologist as there's nothing wrong with my breathing passage.

After further soul digging with the counselor, the conclusion is my "language confidence"🤣 it only happens when I can't think of a word to describe some information I wanted to deliver, then the cough came. In my subconscious mind, I use coughing as a pause filler, and the minime on my head tells me coughing is more presentable than "running out of vocabularies".

I can't say if it was a good or bad habit. I guess it was good at that time as my soul finds it comforting. I have coughed a lot more before I fully realized it was planted in me as a handicap for language barrier. It took a long time to replace the cough with a proper pause and I don't cough that often anymore.
