I don't the least bit terrible for how I was born. I can't be responsible for all the wrongs in the world and neither should you.

No one should. But people with, for example, able-bodied privilege, can do things to right some wrongs in the world. For example, by not using the disabled seats on public transport, or disabled toilets if others are free. Another is by not questioning people's disabilities; my disability is extremely painful, but invisible, and I receive lots and lots of unsolicited advice, or people refusing to help me with things.

[identity profile] the-flowergirl.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 08:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I understand that completely, and I would never do any of those things. I'm convinced some people do that out of sheer laziness.

(Anonymous) 2011-03-31 01:24 am (UTC)(link)
Yes they should, and that's called courtesy. Parents should be teaching their kids that *nods.*

I can see why it would be more difficult if your disability doesn't show. *hugs*

How do you mean, refusing to help you with things? Do you mean you ask and people refuse? Or they don't divine that you have a disability and offer?

I can't be responsible for all the wrongs in the world and neither should you.

This, so much. Do what you can to help, when you can... basically, be a decent human being. But don't take it as a responsibility to make everything perfect, and to disregard your feelings because you were born 'luckier' than someone else.

I mean, if I was the reason for their disability, then I would feel bad about it, but the people who are deaf that I work with? I don't feel bad for them at all. They're very nice people and I try to make it easier for them when I work with them, but I hardly ever see them as angry as everyone else I work with. This whole PC culture will be our downfall. I agree that we should be kind to everyone, but when is it too much?

[identity profile] no-one-specific.livejournal.com 2011-03-30 09:13 pm (UTC)(link)
If you're the reason for anyone's pain, then you feel guilty and take the guilt. If it's not, don't beat yourself up over it!

I agree that we should be kind to everyone, but when is it too much?
It's too much when you end up beating yourself up like the OP is. That's PC gone bad, I think.
