Pity is most dangrous word to use among people with disabilities (PWD)

I have Usher's Syndrome. That caused me deaf, blind and balance problems. Does it makes you dizzy? Does it made you feel pity on me?

STOP!

I am not interesting of your pity. Read my friend's post and comments to understand what happen if you started to pity on me and other people with disabilities. (I am Golden Hair Girl)

I am living in a very rich life because I didn't let my disabilities to pull me down. However pity could pull me down. For an example, a friend might say, "Oh I am so sorry to hear that you have Usher's Syndrome, you must have a very hard life." I might starting to think "Wow, my friend is pitying on me, maybe I should pity myself and won't do things that made me happy because my life is pathetic" But thank G-D, I don't think this way, I would respond a different way, "Don't feel bad for me, this is what happen to my life. I am wearing cochlear implants that helped me to hear, I am legal blind NOT completely blind. I could walk and run! I am not ANGRY at myself just ANGRY at people and society's pity" However if you continuing to pity on me, then I will starting to rack my brain to push my pity feeling away BY taking advantage of you!. It felt good. :devilish grin:

My friend's post is based society's feeling toward to me not individual. I know I will not able to change society's feeling toward to me therefore I take advantage of society's pity.

BEWARE!
