I’m 28, I’m a woman, and I’ve been in a wheelchair my whole life. I live a normal life — I work, I have hobbies (literature, writing, animals…).
But to be honest, sometimes I feel invisible. It feels like as soon as people see my wheelchair, they stop seeing a woman — they just see a problem.
I really struggle with dating and being seen as someone desirable. I wish I could experience love with someone who sees me for who I really am: sensitive, curious, a bit shy, but intense emotionally.
Have any of you ever been attracted to or fallen for a woman with a disability?
Is it just… impossible for most guys? Or am I just looking in the wrong places?
I’m from France, and honestly, I’ve been rejected so many times.
It sometimes feels like English-speaking countries are a bit more open-minded or empathetic about this stuff — or maybe they’re just better at hiding their discomfort. I don’t know.
Thanks to anyone who takes the time to answer honestly. I’m not looking for sugar-coated replies — just real ones.
