rejection coz of stuttering i (M18) feel broken from the inside, dead, hollow, numb. my body yearns to let it all out, to cry all that has been building up since all these years. my parents always wanted me to become an army doctor by graduating from an army medical college.. today i had my medical examination at their recruitment centre.. they asked me to introduce myself n i stuttered.. they asked me if i had speech difficulties since childhood. i told em that my speech was normal as a child but a certain incident/accident that occurred when i was 14 left me with a stutter.. they asked me to leave, declared me medically unfit n told me never to apply in the army ever again n to not waste my time n focus on other things.. it has left me broken, i don't have anyone to talk to, i can't even tell this to my parents because they're not ready to accept the fact that their child stutters.. I want to cry it all out but i need to act strong i fear stuttering is gonna ruin my career, my future n is gonna fuck up my life in a real bad way.
