I would never want to disclose that I stutter. First, they can hear me. So they already know, but telling them creates a conscious thing. I don’t want people to look at me with that face where they expect to see me stutter. That would make it worse for me. Frankly my struggle is my own. No one needs to know and no one needs to feel sympathy for me or show sympathy toward me.
