Why are people so cold to non visible disabilities?

Seriously some are so rude.

Lack of understanding, invariably.

@BlueVeins so true! Some days i limp some days visibly they cannot see the crippling chronic pain in my hips. But comparison is not always there. When they see a 26 year old parked in a handicapped spot with her service dog they assume it’s all fake.

@BlueVeins I try to remind myself that I was once blind to suffering until I knew it personally.

its crazy. With me people see a 26 year old in handicap parking with her service dog and assume I’m faking. They cannot see the crippling chronic pain in my hips due to any wrong movement.

@Soramarie Yes, I get those looks and comments as if my ass is attached to this wc is for fun or fakery. Comments like, " lucky you..can we trade ?, I'm tired of walking"😶🙄
