Sooooo Upset ????

Hi everyone A little story of what happened to me today...... I don't venture out that much because of my poor balance and eyesight, outings can be hard work but today I made the effort and my mum took me to Tesco to do a little shopping. Half way round and already tired I was stood at my trolley, I could see and sense that quite a few people were around me and perhaps I was in the way, I very slowly moved backwards being careful not to get in anyone's way or bang trolleys etc. However an old fat guy was waiting behind me and obviously found my movement too slow, he walked past me, glared at me and shook his head!!!!!! I had no idea why he felt he had to do this so I approached him and asked him why and he aggressively replied I was in the way of him. I calmly told him I was partially sighted and had Multiple Sclerosis. Expecting an opology he aggressively replied 'I don't care'!!!!!! I was in shock, my mum was furious starts to intervene and repeat what I said and he basically told my mum where to go!! Of course that's it I just started to cry and cry and cry and I couldn't stop. I left the supermarket crying and still crying when I got home. The shock of anyone being so horrible and cruel I cannot understand. Its knocked what little confidence I have. Gonna take me a while to get over this one. Rebecca ???

Rebecca, The wonderful thing about having MS is learning to not give a damn what other people think about you. I am so sorry this terrible human being was so rude to you, however, you need to ask yourself why you care so much about what he thinks? ....besides the whole MS creates a 16 year old emotional puberty like rollercoaster in us! ;) LOL People are mean. I truly wish they weren't - I'm sorry on behalf of humanity. Be confident. Rock on. You are functioning and out and about, right? *BAM* See? The big things and the little things. <3 Hugs, Mayvår

@melissag

I'm sorry that this happened to you, and I know that it's hard but try not to let other people's ignorant behaviour get to you. At the end of the day, he is the one who has to live with his hateful self, and you can be thankful you're able to see how wrong he is, because clearly he can't!
