I'm covert. My boyfriend was kind of surprised when I told him even when I am positive I've stuttered/blocked in front of him. Maybe he was being nice. Or maybe I'm too hard on myself....

Covert for such a long time, but I'm caring less and less. I don't acknowledge it during conversation so ... maybe some people just think I'm confused and stumbling over words? I guess it depends on w...

I'm open. Always. I can be fluent if the situation requires, but I don't see the need to hide who you are. Best defense is a good offense IMO...

I'm 100% covert. My parents sometimes have trouble believing me, I recently told my best friend and nobody else knows. Open stutterers are going to be more common because covert stutterers usually onl...

I agree with this. I haven't ever mentioned this I stutter in an interview, but interviewers seen to catch on. If you do bring it up, make sure you explain how stuttering won't impact your work....

If it's a problem to the point that you feel like you won't be able to answer questions or be your best self, just come out and explain to them that you have a stutter, and that it isn't just nerves. ...
