I'm 100% hiding it. The people closest to me with whom I talk constantly will more than likely notice *something* in my speech patterns that's off. All that I've heard is that (at my worst) I'll pause at odd times (which is me working around a block, obviously). I also agree in that I'm not sure tackling stuttering in this manner is the healthiest way. As I mentioned in another comment, I wonder what it would be like if I just started not caring all of the sudden. But I feel it's too late for that.
