It's So Weird Talking To People Who's View Of "here's The Way Life Is For Everyone" Is Shattered As Soon

It's so weird talking to people who's view of "here's the way life is for everyone" is shattered as soon as they talk to someone with disabilities (physical, mental illness, any). Like you'll say you'll have a problem and instead of helping you they'll argue with you about how you're not actually facing that problem. Like,

Me: Hey, I'm really struggling to find a job and a part of it is my resume. I was depressed & psychotic during highschool so I didn't do anything to gain skills or achievements to put on my resume. I also don't have anyone to put as a reference. What can I do?

Them: You can add your skills, hobbies, clubs you're in, and different volunteer work you've done! You can also get your teacher as a reference.

Me: I already know what to put on a resume, my issue is that I don't have things that I can use. Also, I'm in my mid 20s so I don't know if I can put my highschool teacher as a reference.

Them: Well if you're a part of a church or an activity group, you could add that. Also, think of any projects you've worked on in the past.

Me: I already know you can put these things on a resume. I'm not looking for suggests of things I've already done, I'm looking for what I can do now if I haven't done anything.

Them: There's no way you didn't do anything during highschool?? What about some odd jobs you definitely did for extra money, like babysitting or mowing the lawn?

Me: I spent all of highschool either in modified classes or in bed doing nothing - not even hobbies, what about that do you not understand?

And then you talk to someone who's also disabled and they're like "Here's a bunch of jobs you can do from home that don't pay much but look good on a resume, here's some free online courses that also look good on a resume, here's how you can be making small amounts of money in the meantime, here's some things you can put besides a professional reference, and here are your rights if your future employer tries to take advantage of your disability - which you probably shouldn't tell them about unless you need accommodations."

And suddenly my will to continue trying returns!

However, I strongly relate to the „please not the movie” bit, since I have encountered content and adaptations before that were… well, let’s say, I am ignoring the existence of them. I hope you’ll have fun watching DetCo till the end! (Or well, until you catch up because the end seems like a far away concept.) And ditto on the breaks: they’d be very well deserved. (And don’t worry about rambling, I’m happy to read your replies! And honestly, I tend to ramble too. :’3) - DCMK 3/4

I think one of the more interesting things is for once the 'please not the movie' is about an animated film and not a live-action one.

The Detective Boys dragging Conan out of his shell and forcing him to act his age never gets old, canon or au verse

Also the Kudo parents hearing their son is in "he could actually, truly die" trouble only to respond with "let's scare him to death so he knows he could get into more trouble if he's not careful" is still hilarious to me.
