Hiding your stutter Dont you think its funny when you speak with someone for a week or two and you were able to hide your stutter. All of a sudden you are stuttering and they are joking with you, telling you to "spit it out" and you "ive had this stutter the whole time, i just control it". no one really understands how hard it is to hide a stutter and the anxiety speaking brings.
