I had a guy disclose it to me, and it only made me see him as a beautiful, vulnerable soul. He later realised he still had feelings for an old fling who was returning to our city, so we didn’t end up meeting. Still, I think disclosure can be a good thing. While stutter-like disfluencies are usually recognisable, secondary behaviours are not always easily identified when it isn’t known that a person stutters, or when their stuttering is perceived as less severe. This lack of clarity can create confusion, and the interaction may feel “awkward,” which for many people can increase stuttering. Disclosure supports clearer understanding of secondary behaviours, such as facial grimaces before a block, reducing confusion and facilitating more supportive responses and interactions.
