Why do idiots feel the need to stare at disabled people, don't you think they feel uncomfortable as it is?

Answer 1

I agree. You answered the question yourself. Because they are idiots

Answer 2

You didn't say whether or not you were the disabled person. I have worked with disabled children for 18 years and I found that they are tough skinned and have learned to ignore the ignorance of others for the most part. People who don't understand, act in different ways because some fear situations they don't understand "the unknown" brings out the worst in most of us,. some stare. But I have found out at least with young disabled children that they don't like being ignored either. If you get "your" feelings hurt because of the way one of your loved ones is being treated, just make sure you are opened to answering peoples questions and help them to know and feel comfortable around your loved one. If in fact you are the disabled person, ask for help if you need it and be opened to talk to others about your disability. There's an *** in every crowd, they aren't worth your time anyway.

Answer 3

Because people are rude and they have no common sense to know that they are being really inconsiderate and rude.
It's not just disabled people, I am not disabled and these idiots stare at me all the time or scowl at me and I look conservative.
I know it makes you feel uncomfortable and I hate it too, but you know the best thing to do, is ignore it because they are idiots.
They have no manners or social skills. You are better than they are because you know yourself not to stare at others.

Answer 4

My experience tells me that all people are not automatically bad. There are more possibilities that some people do not have an education or sensitivity developed towards specific emotional needs of people who have to face some added challenges in life. The point for people in general therefore is to be able to see people not as disabled people, but as people who have disability as a condition – and to be able to appreciate that some people are ready cope in order to be as normal as others. People should focus upon the brilliant and strong aspects of others. They should not cash in for pity just in order to feel better on someone's cost - if there is anything pitiful then this attitude is.

I have read about issues like this. I have been able to world with people who have some conditions in their lives. But I am not sure I can really comprehend what does it like when your life is somehow different from the rest of the group and when you have no choice. I can only try to understand and do my best. There are many citations in human history and instances in the present times about people who have actually been able to transcend their physical and social conditions - the people who have reclaimed their life from the clutches of misfortunes.

Answer 5

I think it depends on whether you are talking about prolonged stares, which obviously isn't acceptable, or natural curiosity. There are a huge range of disabilities. Ignoring them is even worse, as though they don't exist. Depending on the disability, you have to make some allowance for people not knowing how to handle the situation.

Answer 6

This is actually a very good question.
I think it is wrong to stare, but wouldn't it be even more rude to ignore and have to forcefully look away?

Seeing someone in a wheelchair is comon place, but sometimes people have unusual dissabilities and it is hard not to look. If you don't look and take it in, how can you ever understand?

Don't forget we are all disabled in some respect, just most peoples dissabilities are difficult to see with the eye.

Answer 7

People can be very cruel,I often wonder if when those very same people grow up and have families of their own and they have a disabled child, will they remember staring and pointing at the disabled people of the day.

Answer 8

People tend to look at things that are "out of the norm". If I were standing in the middle of a wheelchair basketball game, everyone would be staring at me. Some people are just curious, some people are rude & some people probably don't realize that they are even doing it! My dad's been in a wheelchair for over 20 years & it never ceases to amaze me how many people stare as if it's the strangest thing they've ever witnessed.

Answer 9

Because they ´re really idiots who don´t have feelings at all. Actually, when i see disabled people i try to avoid looking at them, i don t mean being unkind, but not staring at them as if they were "ETS", being natural as if those people were the same as everybody on earth. I think they bear enough suffering, so as to deserve respect in this sense.

Answer 10

there is a saying 'there but for the grace of God go I'. Not all staring is the same. people always observe differences but be thankful they don't make comments or ignore you. It is a safety mechanism and isn't going to change in society so the extra challenge for a disabled person is to ignore this perceived rudeness or process the behaviour as 'there but for the grace of God go I' that's how i do it

Answer 11

People make judgments about things they don't understand. As a disabled person myself, I can tell you that I am more successful and make more money than anyone I currently know. So, they can judge all they want, but in then end people like that only show themselves up to be foolish and unintelligent.
