Re: About to apply for disability :( I can't believe its come to this..

There are plenty of women and men that would agree with me on this, I know people personally who DON'T judge someone because of a disability/difference (I prefer the term difference) or because they're unemployed, yes I admit it's harder to find that special someone who'll take us warts and all and that's my biggest worry when I chat to a guy who isn't ADD etc but again I've also been judged for being unemployed and where I live by one ADD guy whose no longer my friend (I think you know who I'm talking about, you and I have discussed him before in conversations) and that was a horrible experience!

Although I admit it's really hard to find someone who'll take us for who and what we are especially when we have these issues but there are those far and few in between people who WOULD love and accept us warts and all that are out there...you just need to keep looking seriously and another thing you could do is perhaps think outside the square a little and open your eye, mind and heart to that possibility but still remain realistic, though you are right about one thing there are many shallow and superficial people out there and that's sad.

By the way I'm also pretty hopeless at going out and meeting people to the point where my mother is worried about my social life or should I say my lack of social life, years ago I was able to step inside a nightclub, mingle and make friends although they were only situational friends but friends nonetheless and now I can't even go to the local women's groups or anything I just hate the thought of having to make that effort and right now I'm personally not ready to.

What I'm really saying is that NOT every person is shallow, superficial and judgmental!!

I am not good at getting out to meet people and so I hang out on a lot of free singles sites and when I chat with a girl - the at some point say "what do you do" - and I say.. ? eh.. but i don't know maybe its easier in person somehow.

But the reason I really wanna know if anyone else agrees with you.
Because based on what I have come across - I'd say 95 percent of the woman out there will slowly if not instantly blow you off if they realize your unemployed - and sometimes I think they just all immediately judge you as a waste of their time at that point.
