I have celiac disease. I have to explain to wait staff, managers, line cooks, head cooks, basically anyone and everyone who comes to my table. I used to feel the way you do. But I decided one day that I have the same right to est out as everyone else in this world. I just refuse to let their comments trouble me. I have snapping comebacks for snything rude they might say. When I am prepared, I get only polite people.

Consider your situation as teaching them how to treat others less able than you instead of focusing on only how you feel. If you imsgine yourself a s blazing the trail for others who will come after so they are treated with more kindness, you can imagine yourself a hero instead of disabled. That will help overcome this letting your imigining problems before they happen issue.

You can be anything you wsnt to be in your own mind. Pick something tgat gives you the courage and practice behaving that way.
If its that you are richer than bill gates and secretly checking the serilvice onoy you know those thoughts give you the courage to do what you want to do. Take a clip board with you and scribble on it each time someone walks away from serving you.
Go out and take on the world si those who come behind you find better service
Adults who have different struggles are responsible for bein

Hi Rex. You might decide what you'd like to have for dinner and then ask the waiter if they can fix it for you. A kitchen is a kitchen, and they have many ingredients. I'm sure they can whip up anything you can think of (maybe with the exception of kidney pie).

I'm a picky eater, and I'm always telling them to "hold" this or "extra" that. I've never encountered any problems.

I hope this helps.
