instead of judging, politely ask if they are entitled to priority seating or perhaps feeling unwell

more often than not, people won't give up their seat (even with priority passengers around) unless you ask them to, or explain politely why they're there

no need to be an ass

being disabled sucks, I often resent it, but um not ashamed of it

I wish to live in a world where being disabled sucks less and these people should too

my go-to response is:
"no, I'm actually not ashamed at all to be disabled and use my rights, but maybe you should be kinder and ask people instead of assuming anything about them, then feeling entitled to their actions"

I have a lanyard and a card on me stating I'm disabled and get to use priority seating, and yet I still have to stand disgusted looks, people loudly talking about me and people coming at me to say I'm wrong, being disrespectful, that I should be ashamed

Disabled people are at greater risk of ending their lives.

I'm lucky to live in a country with free healthcare care. Even if it's not always the best.
And yet, most of my medications are not available for free or lower prices.
I wonder if I'll ever have to choose between paying for food and paying for my medication. Both vital for my survival and wellbeing.

I've never done anything with my hair, liked accessories or cared for makeup bc it's overstimulating and time consuming (plus social pressure made me spiteful about it)

only sometimes I feel like doing something, but bc I never do, I feel sorta humiliated to try??? terrified to have someone notice

I feel like I can have an almost impeccable vocabulary while also not being able to formulate discourse quick or easily at all, to convey my thoughts into speech

but people seem to think the latter is untrue/not believable exactly because I have good vocabulary

saying "doesn't look like you want it because I don't see the change, you're just about words" doesn't make my wishes (expressed through words) false, just goes to show I have limitations even at trying to get better, and that getting better is not quick nor linear

wanting won't make it hurt less

"You said you were doing something about it. I didn't see a change"

I want to improve my health and perform more and better, be more present for loved ones

that doesn't mean I can give people a date of when it'll come because my body has to be able to take it

still, doesn't mean I don't wish to

"maybe you just don't like me that much"

my body may not take certain activities even if I still want to do them, but sometimes I just can't, or not well at least

it's not about liking someone less, it's about limitations that are clearly not being taken into account even if it was said they were

"you look like you don't really enjoy it"

I wouldn't be doing it if I didn't enjoy it, but I still get frustrated and upset with the previously stated pain
