Advice on an article to show non stutterers? I have been a closet stutterer for years, and i have no decided to tell my dad. He thinks i have some sort of social anxiety, which i do not have at all. I just dont like people to hear that i stutter. When i talk to strangers in the city, etc i dont care if i stutter at all. But i hate to talk in class, at work etc. I want to attend speech therapy. Im just afraid my friends and family members wont accept me if i tell them. One of my friend is known as "the coolest" guy in school. I feel like i will let him down if i tell him. It just seems like all people think stuttering comes from anxiety. Sorry for a messy post. English is not my main language, and i just wanted to write this as fast as possible. I absolutely hate to talk, read and do anything related to the problem which have ruined most of my life.
