Same It always comes as a suprise when i tell people that i stutter, even those that i have known for a long time. Some people even forget that i stutter and when i mention it they are again suprised. I have blocks, so i guess that masks it. Sometimes i straight up stop talking, so some people may think im a lunatic, usually followed by a smirk or a funny face. Edit: I know its not good to mask it, but i have no fear in talking on a phone or ordering stuff. The only thing that makes my heart pound is if i have to read something outloud, makes me sweat just by thinking about it
