disability is basically a closed loop of loneliness bc it forces you to have a very unique lifestyle, which changes your overall perception of things (including values, interests, social norms, even humor), which makes you unrelatable, which makes it harder to connect with others, which then makes you stand out more because you don't end up getting used to most "normal people things", and the cycle repeats. the more you stand out, the less people want to be in your life and the less people want to be in your life, the more you stand out. fun!
#okay now lets turn on the rational side of the brain. ready? here we go ->#obviously its not always like this and if youre disabled that doesnt mean youre doomed to repeat this cycle forever#in many cases if people spend enough time around you they'll get used to your ''weirdness''#and realize youre actually just as capable of friendship and love as anyone else#but it can be a long and difficult road to get there.#sometimes if you do something especially ''weird'' by accident and people dont get it it can feel like youre going backwards#but ultimately we're all ''abnormal'' in our own way#even people who seem like complete normies on the outside. *especially* them#so... i dunno#it makes sense to be insecure/sensitive about these things as a disabled person but it doesnt actually mean you're fucked#at least that's been my experience#textpost#disability#physical disability#disabled
