Covert stuttering

Covert stuttering Hi everyone I am what you could call a covert stutterer. In short this means I often hide my stutter by using different words or not even engaging in talking when I want to. End resu...

Here's a different angle you might consider: There's no guarantee that if you hadn't stuttered, your life would have been ideal. Imagining what could have been is a problematic exercise, since it doe...
