Don't Try To Overcompensate

Many of us feel that a disability is a flaw. We feel that we are less than we can be and therefor some of feel that we have to compensate for that flaw.

There is nothing wrong with focussing on other things in our lives, if we feel that we do have to compensate on other fields. There is nothing wrong with that, you could see it as a bad writer focussing on science instead of writing.

However, it is very important that you don't go to far. There is such a thing as overcompensation. This is can destroy you and make you feel very unhappy and unsatisfied with yourself. You have to take satisfaction in the things you do and take even the smallest compensations as an accomplishment.

Last but not least, you should never feel that it a necessity to compensate your handicap. It is part of who you are and thus you and other people have to accept it.
