    Sometimes people say they can’t do things just because of lack of experience. Maybe they just think it is.

    Just trying to be hopeful. 🫶

      I believe you had good intentions. And maybe I brought my own baggage to this thread.

      Anyway, I said what I did because it can be frustrating for folks with disabilities to be told things like “I believe in you”. These well-intentioned responses indicate that you don’t believe their disability is real.

        If you tell me you have a disability, I believe you. I didn’t see them say that outright. It was very open to interpretation. 🙂
