What should I do ?
Hi my name is Damian I'm 18 years old and I have a rare illness called Moebius Syndrome which is basically a facial paralysis which means I can't smile,open my mouth fully or move my eyes from left to right.there are also other complications that can occur like clubfeet or deformed hands and feet.Since a long time I have a problem with swallowing food,so I normally don't like go out eating with other people because this swallowing problem gets evident when I eat something.Now a recently joined a new school and so I have many new classmates,one of this new classmates will leave our school at the end of October and a few students have decided to surprise him by taking him and the whole class to a restaurant and eat pizza together,which is a really nice gesture only I'm a bit confused on what to do now because I told nobody that I have problems swallowing food......I really want to go to the restaurant with the other people but at the same time Im afraid to eat something....I was thinking about saying that I was not feeling so good and that I would prefer not to eat anything but then again it will be awkward if I'm like the only one not eating anything.....so I don know what I should do : order a pizza but basically make a fool out of me trying to hide the fact that I can't swallow right or just say I don't feel right and not eat anything.What should I do ?
