ableism, - 

ugh i tried asking for help from one of the airport workers that drives old and disabled people around in a cart, and he yelled at me and asked if i "think this is a taxi of some kind" and if you're ever wondering why i don't like to ask for help, and why i feel like a fake disabled person, shit like this is why. this stuff gets to me real bad

re: ableism, - 

my leg and foot already hurt because i've over exerted myself and i don't wanna walk to the gate, but i also don't have the spoons to get yelled at again for daring to need assistance from a person whose literal job is to assist people in need of assistance

and it's just so friggin humiliating to be vulnerable in front of someone and ask for help only to be yelled at and mocked for it just because i look too healthy or idk what
