Gorl I get it, I have a doctors note rn and I keep feeling bad that I’m telling teachers I can’t go to class but like I’ve literally been told that I can’t be in trouble for missing class.

Not trying to be a jerk when i ask this, just trying to understand. I thought internalized anything was hating people who are like x while also being x? So for example, i would have internalized homophobia for hating on gay men while simultaneously being a gay man. Or are there other forms of internalized stuff that i dont know/understand?

It can be, but it can also be hating those aspects of yourself, not just others. Feeling like you don’t need or deserve accommodations would be ableism coming from someone else, but since it’s coming from yourself it’s internalized.
