@gwenm.. @degarden_girl is absolutely right, the guy who called you an invalid is a shallow idiot.. Not worth your time. There are plenty of fish in the sea. I have a guy friend who knows about my TIA, and he's still around. I was kind of worried about telling him at first because he's very healthy, and I was afraid he might judge me, but I figured if he's like that then he's not worthy of my friendship. We've known each other for almost 10 years. If he is a new acquaintance, I may not be so open.

Don't sell yourself short, we all have some health issues when we get older. Like a car, sometimes the check engine light comes on and we have to take care of it. We may need new parts replaced. I always say positivity goes a long way.

I hope you will maintain a positive attitude, you are a wonderful creation and you are worthy of attention and love.

Keep calm and carry on!
