In all honesty, when I look back on how bad off I was, and I think of all the people who were pushy with me during that time, I really think they took advantage of me. I'm not sure that they see it this way... I remember being "pushed" into purchasing a make-up thingie from a sales person... I don't wear make-up!! Other people yelled at me or scolded me for one thing or another and just thinking of it made me cry on and off for weeks at a time after the experience.

I was very suggestible and passive when I was really messed up in the head - it put me in a very vulnerable position. I think the LAST thing a head injury patient needs is someone who would manipulate them, coerce them, or yell at them in any way shape or form.

I still don't have the energy to fight so I defer arguments at work to my superiors (when someone doesn't like a policy I'm trying to uphold) or I completely avoid or stop contacting an acquaintance or family member if being around them is going to be stressful or in any way combative.

Even when I was normal I didn't like or appreciate this kind of behavior. But to act this way around someone who's cognitively impaired - how dare they?!?!?!

This guy should be ashamed of himself.

I think anyone who behaves this way should be avoided. Period.
