You can disclose yourself as a stutterer, also “practice your stutter” stutter your way, make a conscious choice. It can be empowering to stutter in a way you control when it’s your plan. If you’re trying to hide, cover up Your stutter, that takes a lot of energy, more than just going ahead and stuttering. Be you. It’s empowering to see other beings their authentic selves. I stuttered more than I wanted to in new social situations in college and covered it ip best I could …it was a lot of Work and really not all that helpful Or effective. I’ve learned a lot watching stutterers own it and being proud of neurodivergent communication. You’re in good company and it’s impt To show what makes us unique snd different. We don’t all have to talk the same way. And in this chaotic, neurotic world, sometimes ppl need to learn to take a breath and wait for a minute. You’re worth it
