One of the biggest questions since T1D came into my life is: how do I deal with telling people who don't know me? Do I wait, get to know them, and vice versa? Or, should I just be upfront right off the bat? A big part of me wants to wait and get to know him/her. A smaller part of me says "just go for it. If they can't deal, that's their problem." You know those people who are naturally curious; they must know everything or think they know it all? I don't want T1D or any other health issue to be a focus of the relationship. Whether it is a friendship or dating, its hard to know if I am making the right choice. Many people like to jump to conclusions very quickly. He/she might begin the whole "my grandma or grandpa has diabetes. Or, I get the shakes sometimes."
There is a separate condition that causes low blood sugar, but that is NOT diabetes, one OR two. I don't know what is so hard to understand about this. As I'm writing this, I'm thinking to myself, "why does this bother me so much?"
I know just because I don't like to immediately tell people my health issues doesn't mean they don't want to tell me. For whatever reason that might be. Pity, sympathy, or whatever. Personally, I'm not into pity parties. I can throw my own if I feel like it, lol. An empathy party is better.
Any thoughts or insight would be welcomed. Thanks for reading!
