Being a covert stutterer is hard The one thing that sucks about being covert is that people around you don’t fully know what you’re going through. People hold you to the same expectations as non stutterers. When someone hears you don’t have a job, or don’t have many friends, or don’t go out very often they assume you’re doing something wrong, but in reality it’s all because you stutter. It sucks.
