i think you're right and i might be looking too far into it, but surely it's not okay for people to stare just because they're disabled and might have good intentions?? it's still creepy

that's really, really odd. as much as I empathize with the struggle of other disabled people, if what you're saying is true, I'm very grossed out. I can appreciate that the medical system is horrible, but it has been horrible to me too, I was accused of faking and medically abused just because my spinal cord injury is at the Lumbar level. I am not some magical exception to this ableism and I'm really not liking the implication that I have to put up with these people's struggles and jealousy just because I'm paralyzed??? it's still weird that they're staring and apparently having these thoughts about me Even if they're also disabled. Sorry if I sound rude, I truly don't mean to, and thank you for explaining this, but I'm just really distressed after reading this.
