Today i was in Army for interview I entered the room and they were very polite, they told me tell us something about me biography, I only managed to say where I am from and what I studied, they said if you have anything to say you are free to leave us, I left and they sent us to a room with all the applicants, Then a commander with a higher rank called me into the corridor and asked where I am from and what I have worked for, I barely answerd, it was beyond human, then i asked myself why I am here? I was demoralized, why do we try to do something that we are not capable of doing? Why do we find it difficult to admit that we have a disability, why do we try to do things like a fluent person, I am talking about someone who suffers from severe stuttering, and all this happened from people saying don't let stuttering hold you back and other shitty things, so it's actually holding me back even though I'm trying, I'm not upset because I expected something like this, but why are we trying to be something we're not
