i have a disability that doesn’t allow me to look like “normal” people. a friend of mine who I’ve known for 8-9 years (he has always known that i’m disabled) makes it a habit to publicly point out all of my insecurities, including my disability. he says certain parts of me look gross or scary and laughs it off with his other friends. one time i caught him whisper to my best friend that “i’m sort of ugly”. he still talks to me as if we’re really close despite his negative remarks about me. i laugh it off because i’m scared they’ll dislike me for feeling sad about it.
