Far more wore worst than all the physical suffering I have is just the humiliation, just being very ashamed of how I look and how I act weird. Of course people have always made fun of me for all of that. I have leaned over time to act a lot more normal than I used to. But when I was younger I did not know how to act. I do not let anyone see pictures of me and I do not look at pictures of myself or look in the mirror. When I was at school I wished I would just disappear other kids always doing things to me like throwing paper in my hair and telling me that I’m ugly and retarded. So here is the question should someone who was born very physically and mentally impaired, be embarrassed? Should they be ashamed about it? Or should they say “I could not help it?”.

Not be ashamed.
I was born with a unique birth mark in my eye. It has always turned people off. I had many walk away when they see it because it doesnt look nice at all. No surgery can be done ( I have checked on that). I have even been told I was “on drugs” because I have a red eye.
Well, fuck them.
So, thats the advice I will give you,
just say “fuck them”.
They should be the ones ashamed. You have no reason to feel shame or embarassment. Own what has been given you. You are only judgeable by your reactions. How you respond to life. Ive seen a comic with CP. Used it in his comedy act. A motivational speaker with a lisp. Its hard but your condition is NOT “YOU”!
No, you shouldn’t be ashamed. There is nothing really physically wrong with me besides the fact that my hair has a mind of its own, but I have had to suffer lots of mean comments because I have borderline personality disorder. You just have to look at them in the eye and tell them you can’t help it and you could care less about what they think anyway.
