As a human being, you know that there are some days when you'd rather not talk to anybody - but I can't really do that anymore without appearing rude.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I have never really encountered anybody that was rude to me. Well, not to my face anyway.
If somebody is mean or rude, I just, I don't engage - just block and say, 'Well, that's not very polite.'
I'm rarely in a position where I can actually answer my phone without being rude to someone else. Sometimes I look back and realize it's been weeks since I've actually been alone. With texting, I can at least get a sense of what's going on without interrupting what I'm doing.
To be rude to someone is not my nature.
I've walked away in the middle of a conversation and had no idea that was wrong until someone told me I was being rude.
I don't like to be talked into anything. I don't want to be cajoled.
The mere suggestion that not speaking for a day can give you an appreciation of the social isolation that comes with the experience of disability, particularly those whose impairments prohibit them from communicating verbally, is insensitive at best.
Generally, I do not talk about people - family or friends. This is how I am.
I give people a space to simply sit in silence and communicate with me deeply but non-verbally.
You can't be truly rude until you understand good manners.
