      Disabilities can be managed to the point they cause minimal disturbance to your life, thanks to modern medicine and technology alongside accessibility legislation. As well, what I have had to struggle with has made me a more compassionate person towards other people’s struggles. That’s not an idea, that’s a fact. You aren’t going to convince me to love myself any less.

            You are the one that misjudged and dismissed me as if I am not allowed to exist unless I accept your choice of what I say and think?

            How are the comments even removed? So you can change what I said? Redicilous.

            I said very clearly “you are more than that” I gave you power. You are better than this.

            And you chose to receive “they want me to not love myself”

            It is your glasses. You interpret the world as judging you and look down on yourself compulsively. You have a victimisation complex and it is something you can do something about if you just stop deflecting any help and issuing a signal to yourself that it is okay to receive help and change.

            Eventually, when you do this to people around you, you will create the exact nightmare you are looking for. Trust me. I have been there.

            There is no reason to dismiss anything I think. You can choose to think otherwise. You don’t have to eject personality to accommodate what others think. You control what you think. I can think other things. It does not mean war. You don’t need to destroy others that think something else. You also might grow if you assume other viewpoints but that’s not step one. Step one is to take others critique in stride. Start by not assuming that it’s war with everyone. If it is, they don’t deserve your attention, but most people that you interact with will be interesting and interested.
