Hello, this is my first post.
I feel really embarrassed by my hearing aids and glasses, especially since I am in my early 20s and disabilities are often viewed as weaknesses. I also have a condition called Aspergers which makes me socially awkward. I especially struggle with making friends because of Aspergers but the fact that I can't hear people properly when I don't wear my hearing aids because I'm ashamed of them really doesn't help. Also what kind of a girl wants to date someone who has not one but three disabilities? I'm average looking, socially awkward, hearing impaired, I wear glasses and I'm not much of a conversationalist. My only advantage is my extremely high IQ and that doesn't really help in making friends with or dating 'normal people'...
Are you ashamed of your disabilities? Are you able to date and make friends? Do you have any advice for me? Thanks!
