Someone said something similar to me about my disabilitiy and what I went though. That they would have killed themselves if they were me. Another smash hit was when I was on a date a few years ago and the person was like "you're very young and look healthy, why'd you need a walking stick" and then proceeded to tell me to "sit up straight" and "stand up straight". When I explained that I was sitting up straight and had a spinal problem they were suddenly remorseful. Seriously people don't realise how deeply entrenched ableism is in everything. You're right it's very harmful and not fine at all
Yeah fuck them. If they really would kill themselves in your shoes that means you're stronger. Second you shouldn't feel bad about something you can't control. Third I'm not disabled and I spend most of my free time gaming as well - it's cool.
I guess people focus on different experiences they had. When I know I'm in the right I don't feel bad about people being assholes to me. You're in the right here. Moments when I made a fool of myself, though, haunt me.
it might be existentially terrifying and monumentally horrific, but it could definitely be worse...
you couldve been that jackass.
just think how awful thatd be! i certainly wouldnt want to be them, thats for sure. going around being a self absorbed shithead? worst experience ever.
