anyone else have a disability?
how do you deal with it?
how do you deal with it?
Three seconds. That's how long it took. Your shoes. Your posture. The way you held your drink. Whether you looked at the floor or looked at her.
She already filed you away. Interesting. Boring. Safe. Bold. Before you even opened your mouth.
Everything you say after that is just her confirming what she already decided.
So stop rehearsing lines. Fix the first three seconds. Stand tall. Look up. Smile like you mean it. Walk like you belong wherever you're standing.
The words come later. The impression comes first.
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
why dont you compete in the olympics, wait a second its not that easy! he can do sports, why do you say special olympics asuming that the fact your disabled means you can compete, odnt you think maybe jusy maybe the competion is quite stiff!Originally posted by bootlegger
compete in the special olympics. Chicks did athletes.
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.

Next Monday you'll feel more confident. After the gym you'll feel more confident. After one more drink you'll feel more confident. After you get a better haircut, a better jacket, a better job.
You've been "getting ready" for two years.
She's standing ten feet away right now. She'll be gone in four minutes. No amount of preparation will manufacture the courage that only comes from moving your feet.
Walk over. Stumble through the first sentence. Let it be clumsy. Let it be imperfect. You will feel more alive in those ten seconds than you have all month.

read up as much as you can my man, and apply, God made you handicapped for a reason, most likely so you can blaze a trail for others to follow and be an amazing inspiration that people can look at and follow and be inspired and motivated out of their mind, use your disability as your greatest strength and you will accomplish anyhting you believe you can...... I apologize for them closing your posts, some of the responses were kinda harsh, I feel for you and believe in you , I want to hear from you 3 months from now and having soo many women on your nutz that you have to fight them off with a stick....that would inspire me and MANY others, become a DJ and make us proud and inspire us.
I started just where you did and It has helped me soo much...

Yeah, people think that someone in a wheelcrair is somehow different to people who are not. The only difference is that the other person can fully use his legs and the other doesn't.I'm not gonna feel sorry for, because theres no reason to. Don't feel sorry for yourself, have pride in who you are and make your life what you want it to be.
She calls you when her car breaks down. When she needs help moving. When some guy she's actually dating treats her badly.
You're the listener. The reliable one. The guy who would treat her so much better, if she'd just open her eyes.
She won't. You trained her to see you as the low-effort option — the friend who requires zero risk and zero investment. Every favor dug the hole deeper.
The "22 Rules" break the pattern. You'll stop auditioning for a role she already cast and become the man she chases instead. It starts with Rule 1.

With a nickname like that, I think you'd fit into the special olympics.
Actually, he cheated on his wife with her secretary. And she almost left him and got a divorce but then he wouldnt have been elected president. But he still fooled around on the side like almost all of our presidents.Originally posted by eecumstains
