[Samantha29426]

I’m sure I’m not speaking for most of the people who seem uncomfortable around the disabled, but I tend to avoid starting conversations with disabled people because I tend to avoid starting them with anybody. I’m very shy, and people with disabilities seem to make me more so because I worry that they might think I’m ignoring them because they’re disabled, or if I try to not look like I’m ignoring them it will seem like I’m staring (yes, I know its silly). It feels like I’m somehow under more pressure when I’m interacting with people with visible disabilities because I worry that my shyness will be assumed to be due to their dissability. I wish I could be more outgoing, but its hard.
