Absolutely, yes.
I very rarely leave the house, but when I do, I’m always disrespected.
I attend support groups so I can load up on medication that helps me, and they always talk shit and laugh at me in those groups.
When I go to the grocery store, people always cut in front of me. One time I rushed to a line that just opened, and an old man yelled at me. I couldn’t yell back, they probably would have considered it elder abuse.
My nieces and nephews won’t even acknowledge my existence. One time I saw my sister’s entire family at the grocery store, and they pretended like they didn’t see me. I thought maybe it was a fluke thing, but then it happened again. The first time I went over and said hi to them. The second time, I didn’t bother. They are so concerned with what strangers think.
I had a best friend about 10-15 years ago, and I saw him at a hockey game. It was in the bathroom, and he just walked past me. I thought he didn’t notice me, so I said hi to him. Then I realized that he did see me, he just didn’t want to acknowledge me. I’ve also seen him since then, and he also just walked past me like I was any other stranger.
