Hello everyone.

As always, we ask that in order to participate in the weekly megathread, one self-identifies as some form of disabled, which is broadly defined in the community sidebar:

“Disability” is an umbrella term which encompasses physical disabilities, emotional/psychiatric disabilities, neurodivergence, intellectual/developmental disabilities, sensory disabilities, invisible disabilities, and more. You do not have to have an official diagnosis to consider yourself disabled.

Mask up, love one another, and stay alive for one more week.

    I get it. I will say thought that just going to a social event and hovering is still a step up from not going.

    Going up to someone feels like a bad idea, introducing myself feels like a violation of their boundaries.

    I totally feel the same, and I know you’ve also heard the counter of “It’s obviously not. You wouldn’t feel it was a violation of your boundaries if someone in a social setting said hi to you, so why would they”. We just gotta work at it until it feels less wrong.
