The answer

The reason for this feeling may be fear of making mistakes and the desire to recite perfectly. The remedy for this is to strengthen self-confidence, while relying on Allah and having a good opinion of Him, and realizing that Allah will help you memorize His words. A minor mistake does not matter if you have striven and sought Allah's help. It could also be from the whisperings of Satan. The remedy for this is to seek refuge in Allah and not allow Satan to prevail by stopping memorization. Rather, one must strive, supplicate, and seek Allah's help.
