i have disclosed to probably around 500+ people now and most of the responses were - oh wow good on you, that's great, good job, you sound really good, etc, etc. People are rarely negative ( i think i had 1 was like wtf do i care). Lesson that it taught me, it's ok not to have to hide it. gets rid of a huge amount of anxiety and improves your speech in the process. Most of the times we stutter more because of the fear of stuttering itself.. You can imagine the loop here..
