Dear Diary: Some Of My High School Classmates Told My Mother That They Would Visit Me Today, I Declined To Meet Them

My former classmates are actually outside my home to visit me and I would not get out. I already told them not to bother because of obvious reasons.

### Because this is what I look then. (Yearbook-1994)
I already destroyed my yearbook copy years ago after my appearance had changed.

### About 15 years after 1994. (changes on my stature but not my face yet)

### This Is What I Look Now 😪 (pain, disfigurement, stiffness is prevalent)

Then they will see me like this? I do not want them to feel pity on me or both of us to feel awkward and embarrassed. I already told them not to visit me or I will really not get out. They actually understand what I am feeling because one of them had a brother which had been a dialysis patient and passed-away already a long time ago.

It is painful for me not to meet my former mates because of my situation and I hate this situation. It already robbed me off from a big chunk of my life.

God bless my former classmates. I hope that God would put a place for you in heaven. They gave me food and cash.

Don't be sad, friend ... all of this is a trial from God. If you are embarrassed to meet them, don't meet them. They can certainly understand your feelings.

I know it is not the same @cryptopie but at least you do have us! And you do have them too.... they just don' have you. 

If I may give my opinion, I say reach out to just one of them when you can, and talk to them and have them visit by themselves. Just one friend that you trust, then that might make it easier for you to eventually see other friends that want to visit you Arnold. Just a thought, but whatever you decide, we got you!!

Say hello to your fam. for me, @streetstyle from the Internet via the Steem Blockchain!!! Boom!!

Yes Sir @streetstyle I regard myself as fortunate to get friends from all over the world in #steem community, you are just heaven-sent for me. Maybe this is God's way of giving me some friends because I know that he knows that I need a lot of friends because of my condition.
Thank you Sir for all your selfless support along with others. God bless you and keep you always.
I'll tell my family that you said Hi, :D

The people of the Philippines are very kind and supportive people. But if you don’t wish to see them now I hope they understand.

It is a very difficult situation
I am so sorry for your predicament
It's good that you have Steem to keep you company, that there's some sort of communication and engagement
