Thanks, I always dreaded being outed by my stuttering since there were times when listeners had no The idea I stuttered until it reared its ugly head. The look of pity and horror on the listener’s face resulted in my avoiding eye contact. It has taken me several years of fluency to unlearn that habit. Thankfully, afteeb7 years, I look into the eyes of others and don't close my eyes. It took a few years to remember I am fluent.
