I am so fucking sorry to all you covert stutterers out there. So i attended a McGuire course some time ago. Met all kinds of stuttereres there. Me myself is a pretty heavy stutterer, and its impossible to have a conversation with me w/o knowing i have a stutter (unless drunk). When there i realised that there is a pretty significant correlation between how much you stutter and how little you care. Covert stutterers that can almost hide it 100% basically have a panic attack when they stutter. I met several covert people that had quit their job, and never spoken specific words in years. Heavy stutterers pretty much dont care because this is their daily life and they have learnt to accept it. Then i thought about stuff. As a stutterer i can detect covert stutterers pretty well. Every time ive detected one, i say "Eyyy, you stutter too?" and start talking about it. Ive never thought about how anxious they felt there and then, and ive realized they probably hate me for it. So to all you covert stutterers that ive busted; im sorry. I seriously had no idea you all cared that much about it. Ive stopped doing it now, but i realize ive caused a pretty hefty amount of anxiety. Sorry.
