Distancing Yourself From Friends
Have you ever had to distance yourself from a friend because they did not understand your disability, thus making it difficult for you to experience joy in the friendship? Did you try to teach them, explain to them, or ignore their behavior towards you and your MD? How have you since dealt with friends that do not make an effort in accepting or understanding your physical disability?

I left a friendship a couple years ago and it was one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. I had tolerated her for too long. There were many other reasons why I distanced myself from her other than the fact that she never truly understood my disease. One of the last things she said to me was that her life was harder than mine. She did have a tough life but I was done letting her use this excuse for everything.
