misconceptions about my situation.

it kinda irritates me that i come across a lot of people who assume my condition is worse than it ACTUALLY is just because i walk with a cane. the guy who i trained with this week said to me (as if i wasn't aware of it), "you know.. they have social security for disabled people like you.. when my wife was alive- she was on social security because she had ms.. is that what you have?" then i said, "no.. i have a traumatic brain injury from a car accident." i KNOW i told him this before he asked but whatever. it's nice that people show care but when they just assume you can't do something just so you don't inconvenience them when they should really be worried about their own shit- it gets to be a little annoying. he also told me that he was on social security because of something he did to his hip but he couldn't just sit at home doing nothing- so.. what's the difference between his situation and MY situation? i also told him after he said he couldn't just sit at home while on social security doing nothing that i've ran into many situations where i get myself into trouble when i'm bored and an idle mind is the devil's playground. i'm not really sure of the difference between both our situations.. he gets the opportunity to be constructive and work when i'm expected to just sit at home on social security because?? it's more convenient to everyone else. all i am is a fucking burden. THEN PEOPLE CAN SIT AND CRITICIZE ME FOR DOING NOTHING AND I'M SUPPOSED TO JUST TAKE THAT SHIT HAPPILY! so i don't think i wanna work with people that can't recognize MY situation and accomodate my needs and abilities. people are probably saying, "HAH! SHE'S BITCHIN ABOUT PEOPLE NOT WANTING HER TO DO ANYTHING!"..YES, i AM. when you've walked a mile in MY shoes and gone through EVERYTHING i have- school, previous job experience, and rehabilitation- maybe your opinion will actually fuckin matter. don't waste your and more importantly MY time bitching about me and how i can just get away with doing nothing. you can kiss my ass- i don't CARE who you are.. you obviously don't care who I am.
