Not anymore. Spent 40 years as a closet stutter. Was successful at hiding it even in the military. So exhausting....

I did modeling and some acting. The whole experience always seemed surreal to me while in the moment so that really helped me to not stutter. I basically don’t stutter if I’m extremely confident almos...

Me too. It’s called occult stuttering. I think it’s almost worse because it surprises unsuspecting people and then you see that look of pity and horror on their faces. I even had one horrible experie...

Everytime I stutter with someone it’s usually “I had no idea until just not” . And I’m always baffled bc I think I stutter a lot but apparently not....

Any "hidden" stutters here?

Any "hidden" stutters here? I mean... People think you are not... But you are. What is your story? ...

What you are saying it’s hard to follow. Stuttering happens at a young age, when you are still at home. So didn’t your mom know you had a speech pro? Or you suddenly developed the condition once yo...

Sure, but come on, your mum! Covert stutterers all have had a time before they decided to hide their stutter. Their mums must have noticed something at that time. Unless a mum was not around for some ...

- initiate discussion with me on how i would prefer to approach presentations, oral exams, etc (i had always been the one to initiate) - my stutter gets especially worse when i have to read out loud. ...

NOT let me weasel out of presentations. All through middle school, my teachers would always ask me if I wanted to skip making presentations to the class, or if I wanted to do them privately do them af...

I found as I got older it became easier to mask my stutter, I don’t know if it’s because I’m better at masking it or because I’m not as anxious and energetic as I was when I was younger (when my stutt...

My close ones know, but the people I work with or those I rarely talk to don’t know. I wouldn’t say I’m hiding it but mostly I just don't know how to bring it up so I mask it. Although, in my experien...

I'm a mild stutterer so a lot of people don't know I stutter since I mask it quite well. However those closer to me realise I stutter...

Are you a covert stutterer and if so what’s your experience of this?

Are you a covert stutterer and if so what’s your experience of this? ...

I understand that. Mine is too severe to hide from people close to me, but I definitely mask it in front of new people and do the same thing. I hate it because it often make me seem dumb but it's defi...

Haha I always just pretend to forget what I'm about to say when I feel a block coming. I do this with both new people and my close friends since my stutter isn't too severe and I mask it from most peo...

I do that too but mostly with new people who don't know I have a stutter or when I'm just tired of it. In most conversations during the day, I lie at least once that I don’t know something or that I’v...

The reason people who stutter are afraid of public speaking is because how we perceive others are going to perceive our stutter, NOT because we’re scared of stuttering ourselves. This isn’t unique to ...

edit from the bottom: fuck, I rambled sorry. But yeah, just keep working at it. Play video games with friends or nobodies, take on customer facing work, literally talk to random people you mee, fuckin...

I remember the feelings you are experiencing with your stammers at 15. My stammer is still extremely bad at 47. It is a bad question to ask a stammer is how they are on the telephone. OP, how bad or g...

I'm 48 and have stuttered my entire life. I think I've only met 2 people my entire life who also stutter. Anyone else who told me they used to stutter, did so only as children and was probably a phase...
