Dear Diary: I Did Not Attend Our Dialysis Christmas Party Today Because I Am Not Comfortable With It
I regret to not attending our dialysis today because of my appearance as it really is embarrassing to mingle with people who just sees you as a freak and I tell you that it is different now and people just treats me so differently.
I really do like to attend because of the prizes and gifts that I can receive and win plus the awards for being a dialysis patient for a long time and also the delicious food being prepared by the hospital for everybody. But one factor for me not going is that I am also uncomfortable sitting for long in a wheelchair.
For many years of being a patient in my dialysis center I haven't attended a single event which is the Christmas party they threw for the patients and relatives but I do want now to attend if not only for my appearance and health condition. I am just accepting the fact that my "real world" socializing days are over but still glad that I have online friends that truly care for me even with kind thoughts and prayers.
You're not a freak here Crypto. I really hope the people at the center wouldn't look at you like that. Most of them are probably going through difficult situations as well. Let me wish you a Merry Christmas ahead of time!
Thank you @lostgeneration I may not be a freak but I feel it when I am seen by others, it makes me feel depressed considering that I am a shy person.
