   Yes, there is a different attitude towards people with disabilities. The attitude is bad and negative, or not at all. Our infrastructure is under criticism. People in wheelchairs do not have access to many institutions, and the curbs are very high, in many places there are no ramps, etc. The problem for me is mostly in our mentality. Bulgarians prefer to hide the problem under the rug, instead of trying to solve it. This is how we discriminate against our citizens on a daily basis. I remember years ago when I was a student, a ramp was made at the entrance to my school, but it was made in such a way and at such an angle to the door that a person in a wheelchair could not pass at all. But activity was reported and the money was collected, and who cares. It is the same with people with other types of diseases and needs. I've lived in England for a long time, and there are a lot of donation shops here. They employ mostly people with autism, retardation, difficult mobility and the like. That is, the state finds work for these people and integrates them into society. In Bulgaria, when will you see a person with this type of work syndrome - never. Because again our mentality is such that we try to hide the problem under the rug. It's the same with people with mental health problems. Many people with depression and the like commit suicide because no one treats them adequately. A person with some kind of problem tries to hide it because he is afraid of being rejected by society, so instead of being treated, he starts drinking. At one point, for example, he threw himself off the block, and everyone "just what this man did was supposed to be fine." I hope we, the younger generation, will change things. Because adults with this communist thinking,

   Animals are evolutionarily coded to dislike different ones. All this is the result of the struggle for survival, the instinct for self-preservation. Animals compete with each other for resources, the most adapted survive. The weak are a burden on the population and require additional care and attention. Especially in predators, when the mother gives birth to cripples, they are strangled (there are also pets such as dogs and cats). Humans are also a product of evolution. We do some things at the first sign without thinking. I am also disabled - I have an anatomical anomaly of a limb, when I was little it was hard for me, then I got used to it, but the people around me do not get used to it. Children, old people, sometimes adults stared at me. I noticed that I am like that too, it was strange to me in the company of people with disabilities other than mine. Accept yourself as you are. When you go out, put on your glasses. Squinting can be corrected through surgery. The most important thing is to accept yourself and not pay attention to others. You can change and you can't change others. So look ahead, don't focus on the negative.

   I have three types of disability with 68% disability, I go I can take care of myself, but I do not find that the healthy should understand me, I think that what they can do for me, even much more than they can, paying me 353 BGN per month and pension, free vignette, they pay me 100% car tax and cover part of the taxes on my home, as a homeowner, I park for free in the disabled places in the blue zone, I visit doctors, I stay in hospital for free 5-6 times a year, I have had two surgeries for free, I do not pay health insurance, etc. Considering how many citizens in Bulgaria work and how much taxes they pay, I feel bad. Because with 100% exceptions from the Bulgarian disabled we are in Bulgaria and we are waiting for someone to pay us all this, and more than half of the healthy went to pay taxes in Europe and support European disabled people, pensioners and governments. And so we hang on the few taxes paid in Bulgaria all the disabled wanting, but there is nowhere to get this money, because those working in Bulgaria are few and insured at low wages. Now I hear that the state will allocate money for ramps on the blocks, you send an application and they transfer money to you, you choose the company to make a ramp for you, it's great. As well as provide honey accessories such as wheelchairs and more. For the last few years, some groups, mostly young people, have been looking at me with the evil eye that I park in a disabled place and I can walk, but I don't find it necessary to introduce them to my illnesses. If I have been issued a disability card, then there is a reason.

   3, it is an honor for you to appreciate it and not to claim, like many people, that everyone should be indebted to you. I'm not talking about the disabled, but in general. By the way, the word "disabled" is not correct for me, because it literally means "invalid". You are not invalid people.

   I'm upstairs again. So rationally and evolutionarily, species are looking to throw out the "disabled" because they are really just consuming, not contributing. At least that's how it was in the past. Now there are disabled people who are scientists, etc. But the point is, at least in the past, they have endangered the whole species because they draw resources and do nothing for the common good. Even in ancient Rome they were burned to get rid of them. There is logic in this, but it is too superficial. If we dig a little deeper, we will understand that coming to earth, perhaps some come with a mission to learn to help, and others to be humble. Who knows? But I still think we're coming for a lesson. Thank God I am alive and well and I work and I don't mind helping with my taxes. I'm even glad I can help. It's worse not being able to help. I hope there are people

   2 and 5, especially the human species has sufficient resources, unlike animals. Also, in man the "contribution" is not only material, ie. it's not just doing physical work. 2, not everyone who looks at you, looks at you with a bad eye or "does not accept you". It could be just a kind of "what's wrong with this boy" concern and that's it.

   Why don't you like the author, do you think that relationships are created because of the symmetry of the eyes? How completely blind they create families, won't you find a partner with a squint in one eye, raise her head, work on yourself, on your education, develop, become smart, and the boy will come when you least expect him.

   A few years ago I was at sea for a few months to work. A brother and sister worked in a small shop with the same "problem" as yours. I want to tell you that I have never seen anything more fascinating than this. For me, at least the small flaws such as slightly protruding ears, crooked nose, freckles, etc. are super attractive. I liked the boy very much, but the darling was a little shy, which attracted me even more. Anyway, don't get carried away. The beauty in everyone's eyes is different.

   In this connection, I also want the author to ask what you think a person falls in love with - in appearance, in the heart, in the soul, in something else? thanks

   Of course you will like it, it makes you unique and unrepeatable. Someone will find it very sweet, others will tell you behind your back that you are skinny and the like, because we lack a lot of upbringing and empathy. In Bulgaria, I worked with children with disabilities and it is difficult for them to integrate into society because their peers kill their complexes on them. Now I live in Germany and the attitude is completely different. But not only to people with disabilities, but also to those with different skin tones or different cultures, religions, etc. It's just that at school they teach children from an early age to be tolerant and it is often explained to them. The posters and textbooks depict children in wheelchairs, for example. I doubt that Bulgaria will change this attitude soon, it comes from the family.

   You have your eyes, if you wanted to operate on them 300 times so far and not have squinting. I encounter mistrust and misunderstanding even towards myself, without having health problems. Is this answer ok for you?
