Covert or open stutter?

Covert or open stutter? I didn't know I was a covert stutter'er until I went into speech therapy. I didn't even know hiding your stutter had a term. Anyway, thankfully through speech therapy I'm learning to embrace my stutter more as I find strategies to work with it. I'm curious, how many of you hide your stutter? Or, do you not care how you sound and just go with it?
