I think most stutteres catch up on stuttering pretty fast. And that is kinda the point of the post. I had no idea coverts were so embarrassed about it. I think the obese analogy is really far out the...

>How can you detect them if they're covert? There a (more or less) tiny details that we can pick up on, if we're paying attention to that sort of thing. Most people aren't, so they don't notice an...

How can you detect them if they're covert? Also, there is a reason they are covert and I don't think it's a good idea to call somebody out on something they are humiliated about. Would you go up to an...

I am so fucking sorry to all you covert stutterers out there.

I am so fucking sorry to all you covert stutterers out there. So i attended a McGuire course some time ago. Met all kinds of stuttereres there. Me myself is a pretty heavy stutterer, and its impossibl...

For me I think its because I let my guard off when I am with people who are close to me. And I am extra conscious and careful when I talk to strangers so I talk slowly and try to be super calm....

Why am I stuttering?

Why am I stuttering? Hi, recently (about a couple of years I think) I started to stutter only in a specific situation and although I tried a bunch of things, nothing has changed. The situation is whe...

Contrary to popular belief, first impressions don't mean that much.

Contrary to popular belief, first impressions don't mean that much. I'm sure a lot of us have heard "You have to make a good first impression!" So when you meet new people you try really hard not to ...

Hey Bro. Just wanted to say your story sounds alot like mine. I'm 30 from New Zealand. I've worked at the same job for about 12 years and there are people who I have worked with the whole time who ha...

Indeed stuttering is a silent struggle for many. Thanks for spreading the word!...

Reading aloud. But, for me reading aloud alone simply didn't replicate the type of tension my body feels when reading or speaking to another person. So, in an effort to increase this tension when alo...

I'm the same way and lately I've been having a lot more problems saying my name and I'm very conscious about it. I keep on thinking about going to a speech pathologist, but I think its a waste of ti...

The weird thing is I'm generally OK with telling people I have a stutter, I'm just terrified or ashamed or some shit of actually stuttering in front of people. Most the time when I tell people they in...

I'm not covert at all about the stuttering. I think it helps when other people know you have issues with speaking. At least for me they are more lenient when I just have a complete block, and will t...

Yes! Because for that split second, the mirror is turned around on you. You can see what others see and it kills you inside...

It helps me once in awhile to tell the other people that I have trouble speaking sometimes. Idk why I can always get out that explanatory sentence without any trouble....

I cringe when I hear it. Maybe that's why I'm so covert with mine? ...

I definitely do this. I'll stop in the middle of a word and look around, pretending I'm thinking till I can get the word out. Or I'll just change the word entirely, which doesn't always help. I do thi...

I do this. I'm about as covert as you can get. However, yeah sometimes it seems like I'm rude because I butt in at weird times because that's when I can get the word out. A good friend I've known for ...

Yup, very frustrating indeed. I hate that I have to suppress my personality and myself as a person. Feels like some shitty version of my life not being able to express myself and put myself out there ...

Covert?

Covert? Does anyone else here just not speak when they block and wait until it comes out without actually audibly stuttering? For example, if I'm in a group and I go to say something but feel the bloc...
