The man in purple and the man in blue are way too common and normalized.
Three more and you have an alignment chart. :)
Bottom 3:
nerdy looking teenager: akward stare as if me mentioning I’m disabled is the most akward thing they’ve ever witnessed
gymbro: “bro as long as you eat your proteins and lift weights it’ll go away”
rich looking privileged snob: “you’re doing this to yourself aren’t you? You just want the attention and to smooch off others. I’m calling your BS.”
My sister also suggests:
eSsEnTiAl OiLs!
That’s already present in the original post. “I have an amazing product for that.”
How would you like people to respond? I’m sure a lot of people are well-meaning, but also just morons.
Me being disabled is not your “problem” to “fix”.
Just say oh okay. And if you want to offer help, instead of offering me life advice as if being disabled means I’m somehow living my life wrong (when every single interaction with a new person is them offering life advice, it starts to feel like people assume that) just simply ask how you can help.
It’s really that simple, don’t judge, and don’t assume you know more about my illness than me.
The specialist who diagnosed me told me to do yoga about it…
