Let me be honest here: # Don't we all? Every single person in the world has their limitations, OP. Don't wish that. As a person with disabilities, you should learn that people who don’t respect your disabilities and don’t let you take your time in situations such like this, do not respect you too. They aren’t “worried”, that’s disrespect. Whenever I get caught in situations like yours, I remember a quote that is attributed to Michelangelo when asked about the process of sculpting David: > It is easy. You just chip away the stone that doesn’t look like David. The disability, which some people may see as "strange" or "funny", is actually part of the marble we don't take off when we're carving David. We don't have that choice, we have to deal with this trait. Or would you respect one person in full "minus the left eye"? I bring my sincere wishes that you can have people who like the whole "David" around you, and not people who would take part of your essence to define you.
