Even the most empathic person can't get it unless they live it. Some of us have physical disabilities, some have other kinds, and some have both. Your world can become very small. Sometimes that's because other people don't include you and sometimes it's because it feels safer. My heart breaks 1/2

watching my loved one feel so isolated and alone. He wants connection but lack of success has caused him to just give up and dive deeper into depression. I just want to give Mom hugs to all the folks that need them.

Relate strongly to this. I'm dealing with burnout recovery and the rejections and ill-treatment I have dealt with throughout 6 decades--it just wears a person down after awhile. I'm still going to keep trying once I get more strength back, but yeah, sometimes I just wonder why the hell I bother.

Yeah, non-disabled people don't get it. Even when you explain it (does some people don't like using their brains and paying attention.) For me personally, I'm at a point where I'm fucking tired and I'm not dealing with it anymore. I shouldn't have to do twice as much work to barely be met halfway.
