Stop, breathe, say a different word. Not worth my mental health struggling on refrigerator, when fridge works just as well. Unavoidable words, like my name/city, I usually avoid (or drop the first l...

I do well with masking my stutter, but sometimes there’s no avoiding it and it comes out. Usually people just look at me like I’m having a stroke or something 🤷‍♀️...

Yes, still occult makes sense. Covert is more mainstream though. ...

Disclosing is for the stutterer, not for the other people. If you have a covert stutter with silent blocks, disclosing will ultimately improve your life tremendously...

I would tell him if it’s moderate to severe because he’ll find out anyway. So what’s the point of hiding it? Trying to hide it the entire date can actually increase nerves and make it worse....

If you’re hot I wouldn’t even worry about it. All jest aside, you can? Transparency is cool. “Sometimes I stutter, so just wait”...

I've had people be shocked to hear me stutter when I know for a fact I've stuttered in front of them before. I worked with a guy for a year before he noticed it and I definitely did it hundreds of tim...

Likely you have a mild sutter , a covert stuttering and have learned to handle it. Its more common than we think . Good for you! Its not my case as having a more severe stuttering....

I think it depends on how severe your stutter is. If u cant get out 2 words without stuttering, you should tell him earlier. If most people dont know them just keep it to yourself. Ive been with my gi...

Yep..I was angry with myself for the longest time..then I was angry at others.. lol…bottom line it’s no one’s fault. We are unique. I will tell you a funny incident. Hope that cheers you up. I was...

Darn, niche stuttering. I have an issue with stuttering only when trying to explain or describe something. Other than that I'm 99.5% fluent. Its like covert stuttering because few people see it. When ...

It’s extremely common and likely due to having a covert stutter where you have learned to hide your repetitions by word-switching. Your name is the one word you cannot really switch. I’m willing to ...

I speak less than 100 ish words than you lol HAHAHA i can relate. I just speak whatever gets me by from my work. They still think i can speak fluently but i don’t, i just speak less HAHA. Anyway i’ve ...

I do my absolute best to hide it. Word substitutions, avoidance, etc. But I’m 95% fluent at work and 85% fluent at home (more going on, having to nag the kids, etc)...

Married 10 years and together 15 and my wife had no idea I had a stutter. Even my father once commented that he was glad my stutter was cured. I had to tell him it will never be “cured” I’m just good ...

“Occult” stuttering is way more sinister though! Like we’re actually casting spells instead of just stumbling over words....

When I was a kid my stutter was much worse than it is now; I generally pass as fluent unless I’m talking to one of my parents, ordering through a drive through window, or just really tired or stressed...

You are SO right. I just miss-remembered. I think there are many who live with the secret fear of being discovered. The stigma is so negatively ingrained that it’s almost like having a hidden past cr...

I know, as an adult I am equipped to handle those situations but as a child I was not and it was cruel....

My teachers did make me do presentations in front if the class. It was humiliating! I was coming here to tell teachers not to traumatize us like that when we can do the presentation privately!...
