The Ageless Wonder
I’m over 20 years old, and I haven’t hit puberty yet. I know it’s an issue with my pituitary gland and hormones from tests I had a few years back. I couldn’t get myself “fixed” back then because I couldn’t afford it. Now with each passing year, I’m just more embarrassed about it and can’t bring myself to admit it to anyone, not even a new doctor (the one I went to previously I can’t get in contact with anymore) until I saw this thread and decided to post on a throwaway account.
My friends and family just think I look really young for my age, and we all have nice jokes and a good laugh over it whenever it comes up. I secretly cry inside every d*mn time. My height is unaffected, and I’m decently tall (6 ft), smart, and well-spoken, so I have no problem convincing people that I’m actually my real age after a few minutes of conversation.
I know I should get it taken care of. Every time I tell myself I’m going to do it that day I find some reason not to (mostly my own cowardice). Writing this anonymously has helped a bit.
