Why do people get mad at me about things that I have no control over?

Question

It's just things like my health conditions that they are critisizing me about. I mean, all the technology on this planet can't cure it. Nobody is smart enough to invent it yet. It just makes me mad and hurt and frustrated when people don't understand that alot of things that come naturally or easy to them are hard challenges for me or it's just something new to me and I have to learn it and practice it etc. (Frustration kicking in. GRRRR!) I always have to explain myself and it's getting pretty old. I wish people would just except everything already. If they can't understand why I can't have surgery on my eyes by now, I mean come on people! I have PERMINANT EYE DAMAGE IN THE DISCS BEHIND MY EYES. THE DAMAGE IS DONE.

OK, deep breath. Calm etc.Then there are the ones that jump to these weird conclusions or give me these answers like: Oh, well why can't just just do this or do that. Sorry, but I've done that and everything else and nothing works or helps. So deal already! I did.

Wow, that's really tough. People can be very very inconsiderate (as you well know). When people constantly question you about your eyes, just be direct with them and say, "Do my eyes really matter to you that much? If they do, then maybe we shouldn't be friends." You do not have to say "I don't want to talk about my eyes" because that is your business and they have no right asking anyway. I really wish you the best with this. I hope more open-minded people cross your path and that you're ready and willing to meet them. Take care.
