  • It’s true! The only way I got my much-needed walking stick/cane is because somebody who actually had insurance to pay for it died, and their family let me take it when I was helping clean out his trailer. It’s similar to how I got my wheelchair and shower chair, too; someone with insurance died and their family were decent enough to not just toss it in the dump like most people do. America!!

    I don’t know about that. I’m not just talking about lighthearted teasing from friends; that’s fine, meant in good fun, whatever. I’m talking full-on, intentionally mean, trying to be hurtful, nasty-hearted bullying, unfortunately. Like “what don’t you ever leave your cave, freak?” “Have you ever seen the sun? You know it’s good for you, right?” along with the classic pointing and staring and making faces and shit like that. People are ridiculous. 🤷

    Luckily I can take it, so I don’t really care that they’re saying it to me, but I know not everyone can, and I can’t be the only one they’re saying that shit to. Some people are really easily hurt by stuff like that. :/

    Because people really do make fun of us, unfortunately. See: the comic in the post we’re commenting on. I thought maybe it would ease up as my peers and I became adults, but, NOPE! They still make fun of me (for something I cannot control.) It’s ridiculous.
