I resent my parents for not aborting me - dwarfism.
[Remorse]: If you feel bad
In my mind, I am a man. When I look at myself, that is what I see. But no one else does, they see a dwarf. Women certainly don't see me as a man. Last night I was at a society meeting and a small group of us were talking economics. I was engaged in a debate with a guy I'd only talked to a couple of times before. He was losing so he decided to come over and pick me up and rock me like a baby. My friends stopped him and his actions were condemned by most, but there was scattered laughter and after something like that happens you lose all credibility. To top it off, the girl that I liked saw the whole thing, so any possibility of dating her is out the window now. This isn't the first time that something like this has happened, it's why I stopped going to parties. People get drunk and think that "toss the dwarf" is a hilarious game.
I had to do my internship at my university (as opposed to doing it with a company) despite obtaining straight A's. I'm the only one who couldn't get placement anywhere. It turned out being a good thing, as I managed to write my first paper and actually got published, but I shouldn't have been there. My opinion is always disregarded simply because my head is a foot below the conversation. The blatant disrespect is heartbreaking. The lack of interest from women makes is hard too. The worst part is that I completely understand why women aren't interested in me. Women want a man who can make them feel safe. How could a woman feel safe with a "man" who can get picked up with one hand. Apparently women don't even date guys who are 5'4". I'm 4'6". To add some perspective, I am to a 5'4" guy what he is to a 6'1" man. So I don't expect things to change anytime soon.
My mother has dwarfism, my father does not, so there was a 25% chance that I would get it. I got dwarfism, my younger brother did not. I've seen him reap all the benefits of being average height. Yeah, he's 5'10, not even a regular short person, complete bullshit. He's 18, smokes weed every day and barely scraped through high school, yet he's still the one my family are most proud of. "Oh look at how much he's grown, he's turning into such a handsome young man!" All I get is pity. My parents knew that I had dwarfism before I was born, so I don't understand why they didn't abort me. My mother may not have gotten too much flack for having dwarfism, but my father must have known how important height is for a man. Surely they could have put their heads together and figured it out. Now I have to go through all of this shit, all whilst pretending to be Mr. sunshine and rainbows, because they were too weak and indecisive to make the decision that they knew was right. They were incredibly selfish to place their desire for a child over that of the child's potential suffering.
