Oh i have the same situation. I like languages so much and I can speak 4 languages but it isn't possible in practice because of severe stuttering. All my childhood and youth i dreamed of becoming an interpreter or a teacher. But by the end of school my stuttering was so unbearable and I made the biggest mistake of my life and entered the faculty of accounting with 36/100 points in Math and 90/100 points in English. Now it's my third year of studying accountancy. I'm the dumbest and most underachieving student in my group, although I try my best. I have a year left to finish my studies. Then I have to work for 2 more years according to the state distribution (in my country, those who study for free must necessarily work for 2 years in their specialty). And I understand that I will never be able to achieve at least an average level of proficiency in my profession because I have a 100% humanitarian brain and I hate everything related to numbers. And stuttering is getting worse because of the stress. Stuttering ruined my life. But I'll continue to learn languages and find ways to get rid of stuttering. I'm in a very deep depression right now. but I'm trying to continue to learn English to perfection in my spare time and look for ways to get rid of stuttering. can't everything be so difficult and stressful all life? I'm just waiting and trying to bring the moment closer when I feel in my place and won't suffer. and I still do not lose hope to connect my life with languages
