π Let's talk about an important topic today: the impact of certain comments on disabled individuals. π€π π We all know that good intentions can sometimes lead to unintended consequences, and one such comment that needs addressing is when abled people say, "I couldn't live like you do" to disabled individuals. Let's break it down! β¨ β First off, it's essential to remember that disability is not a choice. We don't get to pick and choose the bodies we live in or the limitations they may have. It's not about preference; it's about adapting and embracing the unique challenges we face every day. π πͺ Secondly, when you say, "I couldn't live like you do," it can come across as suggesting that our lives are somehow less valuable or desirable. It's crucial to understand that nobody would willingly choose the difficulties that come with disability. We're just doing our best to navigate and thrive in our own circumstances. π π Lastly, and this is really important, when we're having a tough mental health day and you make this remark, it can unintentionally feel like you're saying, "I'd rather be dead than be you." Even if that's not what you mean, it can be deeply hurtful and upsetting. Let's be mindful of the impact our words can have. π π Let's foster empathy and understanding! Instead of saying, "I couldn't live like you do," let's focus on celebrating each other's strengths, resilience, and unique experiences. Remember, kindness goes a long way! π€π #DisabilityAwareness #EmpathyMatters #DifferentNotLess #KindnessIsKey #disabled #disability #wheelchair #chronicillness #disabilityawareness #wheelchairlife #spoonie
