As long as you do no become "The Disability", relationships shouldn't be a problem with others. However, what cannot be predicted or controlled is the impact that your disability will have on another person. There are many people who operate within narrow intellectual parameters & will inaccurately project upon you, their own personal bias, fear, & insecurities. In essence, "They" will reject you, but that rejection isn't personal or about "you"-it's about "them". And, in many instances, its not a bad thing because many of those individuals are of the type & caliber that you don't want in your life. The major problem would seem to be that many folks who are afflicted with "Disabilities" began to lose a healthy relationship with themselves because they feel that they are not now- as they once were. That can be a valid assessment but the trick is to not impose a negitive judgement on that difference but to attempt to accept it for what it is. Just- "A Difference" that is niether "bad or good" but just different. Thanks, Valeris. Great insight! Yes, no one needs individuals who bring negative energy in life through bias and insecurities projection. Our prime purpose in life is to help others and if we can't help, at least we shouldn't hurt them. Like any limitation in life, the worst happens when the challenge starts to define us. I believe disability simply means a different way of doing things or differently abled. Acceptance by self and those around us goes a long way towards a full and valuable life. |

Whether the disability is real or just scars, I think you need to accept yourself to be able to love and get love in return. Love doesn't cure anything. It is the reason to look for cures. Be whole, before you try to give away part of yourself. So you have something left, if the worst happens. Very well said Soufie. |

I dated someone with toilettes once. I always thought he was mad at me. Didn't really work. Seakolony, You thought........a perception. May be it would have been better to find out the real situation. Communication is key in understanding a partner. A perception can be wrong..... |
