I don't really hear anybody talk about this probably cause its not that common, but fuck me not having the abilities of a average person (being able to walk normal, play sports, etc) is probably the most brutal pill of them all.
Exhibit A Myself
For context i have mild cerebral palsy
Alot more mild and less noticeable then walt jr but its still noticeable as ill explain.
I recently started dating and have been able to secure 5 dates in about 2 weeks of trying (I think thats pretty good but im not sure) anyway this leads me to believe my height and face arent the problem, but my ability im 0/5 in terms of success (tbf I think one of them was my personality since we were sitting bascially the whole time which isn't really encouraging).
anyway during the other dates i have to worry not tripping over, avoiding activities that will expose my lack of athleticism its so sad,
eventually they always ask "its cool if you don't wanna answer but why do you walk like that" i just lie and say i sprained my ankle but on the inside its brutal I know they know somethings off and are probably assuming im retarded (legitimately if you are disabled people just assume you are retarded due to lack of knowledge)
This isnt just about dating, i cant really play sports with my friends, bus drivers stop me when I get on because they assume im drunk legitimately today i went to a carnival today and the security took me aside for 5 minutes because they thought I was drunk and then I have to tell them im disabled then they immediately look sorry for me and let me through which doesn't help (side note if you are actually drunk and they won't let you in somewhere use this it will probably work no questions ask)
The most annoying thing is people (girls/friends) telling me "i should fix it" :and work on it" genuinely i had friends assume im just not trying hard enough, like I haven't had 7 surgeries, stretch everyday or so for an hour, gym 4x a week wore AFOs for 18 years which was so fucking brutal (I didn't even consider trying with girls during this time cause why bother when you're looking like this JFL)
which i know for a fact is more discipline then most of them, I think i understand how sub 5s feel when people tell them to "just get lean" or get a better haircut" "fix your skin", which is why i don't really like dissing people's looks unless provoked.
Anyway my bad i dont mean to look for pity I just wanted to talk about this.
im not a bitch so we keep moving.
