It feels important to type this out as perhaps I am in denial of it... I know I fight it hard (I endeavour to be self reliant and can be assertive and stubborn where necessary)... Is odd how others perceive you though which you yourself cannot see.
I am not sure you are on denial. I am a person with disabilities and I am called vulnerable, too, and I do not like it, either.
