It’s not always easy tolove thy neighbor, especially when they’re being irrational or inconsiderate.
Take the redditoru/Lijey_Cat’sstory, for instance. She told theonline communityabout a neighbor asking her to move her car so their friend can park closer. The neighbor didn’t seem to care much that the OP was using a wheelchair or that she was paying for a parking spot—two reasons a considerate neighbor wouldn’t have asked for such a thing in the first place.
Bored Pandahas reached out to the OP and she was kind enough to answer a few of our questions. You will find her thoughts in the text below.

The OP hated being rushed to the door even more than the neighbor’s request itself
“So I really scooted myself over to the door so I could see what was wrong,” she said, adding that she overexerted herself rushing to the door due to a condition that physically drains her of most of her energy.
The redditor shared that she’s been using her wheelchair for about two months now, mostly full time. When discussing encounters with people in regards to the disability, she pointed out that it’s a hit or miss, really. “Some people will actually go out of their way to be nice and help you, whereas others are super entitled.”
As for her entitled neighbor, the woman revealed that they had just moved into the building in July. “I actually don’t know most of my neighbors,” she said. “I’m an introvert and I try to keep the peace, but I’ve never had an issue with any of them before.”

The redditor was suffering from a hidden disability which affects the vast majority of the disabled community in the US
This is just one of the many hidden—also referred to as invisible—disabilities out there, which are not immediately apparent to people around those suffering from them. Others include Asthma, Coeliac disease, Diabetes, Dyslexia, Epilepsy, andmany more, and affect roughly 96% of disabled Americans,according to Forbes.
Forbes emphasized that in addition to suffering from life-altering symptoms, people with hidden disabilities often have to deal with judgment or discrimination stemming from a lack of understanding. That is because they might underestimate or dismiss a condition when there is no clear indication of one, such as a wheelchair, for example.
