How do you handle the rude comments made about your illness, disability, or physical difference?
When people make rude comments about my facial birthmark, I typically respond in kindness. Only a few times have I unleashed the sarcasm, but I constantly think of jokes or sarcastic responses I want to give...but am not brave enough to say in that moment. So often I come home and say, "This is what someone said about my face. This is how I responded, but this is how I *wanted* to respond." Do you feel obligated to be kind when you respond to people, or do you ever have fun with how you reply to the unkind comments? #MentalHealth #Birthmark #PortwineStain #Ableism #ChronicIllness #Disability
