Same! Im 15 and have a chronic illness that limits my mobility causing me to use a wheelchair at school. Yes i can stand and walk but it cause extreme discomfort. my classmates are always being so rude and accusing me of faking!
BeccaBear People are more judgmental when you are young. Like say you take the public bus but you can't stand for long due to an accident, then people give you the stare for not give up your seat some some lady. Just because we are young doesn't mean we don't have a a major injury or a disability
I have to do this in my high school, and I get ridiculed because I can get in and out of my car by myself. It's so irritating when people tell me i'm faking it and turn my wheelchair side ways so I flip out!
so happy you picked a girl who can walk but needs a wheelchair. most ppl don't realize that some wheelchair users can walk (even if only for like 100 steps per day) so they save their standing/walking for things like toilets or showering or moving around the house.
Stephanie Thomas So true! I really struggle to find trousers and jeans which fit me well. They can be too big around the waist, too long from crotch seam to waist (thus the material folds down on itself), or too short in length (showing ankle and looking bizarre on me with high heels). I feel like I need tops in petite or regular length and trousers in tall but even that idea doesn't always work.
@Phonetically Correct yea for exemple someone close to me uses a wheelchair, becouse if she moves to MUCH her muscles get weaker and weaker. She has muscle dystrophy and other medical issues.
I think it makes you stronger. Having a disability and still living your life makes you even tougher than the rest. Don't be afraid! You're perfect the way you are.
Kaitlyn Defrench - Girl, it matters more to you than it does to them. If they are out with you, they're thinking about YOU, not your disability. I knew I would marry my husband when he got into an argument with a medical supplier because he didn't feel like the cane I got was pretty enough for me. Then, he shelled out money from his own pocket because he said I deserved a mother-of-pearl cane head that was "as moonlit as (my) skin." (Edit to add that I was 19 and he was 30 when we married, so don't just think it's only older guys that have open minds.)
Can't believe all the ignorant fools here. Not everybody that uses a wheelchair is completely unable to walk or stand. I have issues where if I walk or stand for too long I will completely run out of stamina and my legs will start colapsing from under me. I only use my chair if I'm going far from my home.
for me it's just easier to use a chair in a big space like the grocery store or at like a concert. but at home..i generally use my crutches to get around because ti's a much smaller space so therefore easier (but that's just in my experience.. everybody's experience is different..especially pain tolerance,muscle strength,age etc)
The script might be an act but I tell you LoLo is really in a wheelchair. Been watching her for a long time. And her personality is just like in the video. Go see her channel called Sitting Pretty Lolo
The shoe thing is exactly what I say to my mum now she is in a wheelchair and when I use a mobility scooter, we can wear whatever shoes we want since we won't be falling in them or getting sore feet :) just use unattractive shoes to get into the wheelchair and swap them for some sexy ones x
Zipstone depends on her condition. I have eds and no I don't have a wheelchair but my doctors and my pt wants me to get one as I'm getting weaker and my joints subluxe and dislocate even easier now and way more often. I know a lot of people with eds that use chairs and scooters and some of us can stand and walk for short amounts of time and then some can do it for a very long time depending on the severity and sometimes some of us are even confined full time in a chair or bed.
Thank you so much for making this video. I am a part time wheelchair user myself and I feel a little self-conscious when I need to use it in front of strangers. This video makes me feel normal and confident about being in my wheelchair :)
Thank you for bringing awareness to the fact that even though we may need a wheelchair, we can be capable of standing for short periods or walking a few steps. I know it confuses onlookers, but there are many different conditions and reasons for needing one. It doesn't mean we are faking it! Believe me, if we could get away with not using one we would do so in an instant, the difficulties are real lol.
Omg! Yessssss! This was so adorable! "The Lord took His time with him....Maybe I should let him take me home. Oh no, he can't have my address yet." LMAO
This was a super refreshing video from buzzfeed! I was getting super tired of all their videos surrounding the vanity of girls for literally every video.
Thank you Buzzfeed. As a woman in a wheelchair, thank you for having a realisitic representation of people in wheelchairs. Some of us can walk and stand for short periods of time, and that was shown in the video. People need to learn that a wheelchair does not mean we can't walk AT all.
Bwahahahahaha yooooo "yes, get it get it get it, he gonna get it it" hahahaha hahahaha Yo I laughed like for real for real at least 3 times!! I cracked up at "ooh he gives strong hugs, he ain't gon have a problem carrying me up the stairs when there's no elevator!" HahahahahahAnd that chicken cutting part!!😂😂😂😂 #toosoon
I am here to help anytime :) Apparently I need to move to CA if I want to do anything big with my channel lol. Let me know if you ever come to the East Coast lol
As a person who is in a wheelchair; just because I can stand does not mean I'm faking it
AMEN THANK YOU LOL i dont stand but hate that so many thinks its 100% one way or the other. The misconceptions are so annoying.
Same! Im 15 and have a chronic illness that limits my mobility causing me to use a wheelchair at school. Yes i can stand and walk but it cause extreme discomfort. my classmates are always being so rude and accusing me of faking!

So true Stephanie Thomas! Great job BTW!
I have to do this in my high school, and I get ridiculed because I can get in and out of my car by myself. It's so irritating when people tell me i'm faking it and turn my wheelchair side ways so I flip out!
I thought it said "Thoughts While Dating a Wheelchair"
you never know with buzzfeed and social media :P
I think they're trying being like "everyone is unique"
y'know cuz BuzzFeed is so woke now
Holy what 300 likes what is this
Double Mewlix same
Double Mewlix it was a funny comment lol

aureusyarara amen!!
aureusyarara I wish I could!!! 😩
yes! I agree and I was so glad when I saw her standing at her closet. because it reminds me of myself and current situation.
@Phonetically Correct yea for exemple someone close to me uses a wheelchair, becouse if she moves to MUCH her muscles get weaker and weaker. She has muscle dystrophy and other medical issues.
I wish I had this much confidence on a date. I'm always way too concerned about my disability.
Fake it till u make it does really help lol. I am also a fulltime wheelchair user
I think it makes you stronger. Having a disability and still living your life makes you even tougher than the rest. Don't be afraid! You're perfect the way you are.

kate laurene in laying on the coucher
When you have nothing else to do so you just watch buzzfeed...
ImADrawingCookie if that isn't the most relatable thing I've read all day xD
when you have so much to do so you procrastinate By watching buzzfeed
Jen The HufflePuff I'm a hufflepuff too
I read this as "Thoughts You Have While Dating A Wheelchair" oops
DoseofDrama hi fancy seeing you here!!
Ohhhhh that’s what I thought it said.....
Can't believe all the ignorant fools here. Not everybody that uses a wheelchair is completely unable to walk or stand. I have issues where if I walk or stand for too long I will completely run out of stamina and my legs will start colapsing from under me. I only use my chair if I'm going far from my home.
Amen.
so glad you did a wheelchair video
me too!
I love Gaby Dunn and Just Between Us. ;-)
Abby Dunn It's rlly nice to see that especially since I'm in a wheelchair too! 😁😁😁
Good video, but I really want an edited version where it's just all the times she said yass
i love this girl xD
Lolo is awesome. Love her channel.
Mahasweta Sengupta Lolo's channel is Sitting Pretty Lolo.
I think this was an advert for Uber Assist....
No more for Sitting pretty which is LoLo (the girl in the wheelchairs) channel.
Can we talk about how beautiful she is?
im confused. can she just stand but not walk?
many people in wheelchairs can stand or walk for short periods of time, they just need assistance for longer periods of time
Some people can stand and maybe walk a few steps, but can't do much more. They could either be in pain, or simply don't have the muscular strength.
A lot of people (like LoLo here) use a wheelchair out of the house. It doesn't have to be either or 100 % of the time.
for me it's just easier to use a chair in a big space like the grocery store or at like a concert. but at home..i generally use my crutches to get around because ti's a much smaller space so therefore easier (but that's just in my experience.. everybody's experience is different..especially pain tolerance,muscle strength,age etc)
I can walk and I still use a wheelchair :) heart issues
Man, I know these are acted out, but after watching this, I feel mad grateful for my legs lol
The script might be an act but I tell you LoLo is really in a wheelchair. Been watching her for a long time. And her personality is just like in the video. Go see her channel called Sitting Pretty Lolo
Living Able Thank you for the channel's name. Will definitely check her out. She's adorable :))
CalvinHuynhFitness she’s actually in a chair bro
This is cute as hell.
Thanks so much!
WHEELCHAIR REPRESENT!!! Also glad there's representation for wheelchair users who are able to walk.
The shoe thing is exactly what I say to my mum now she is in a wheelchair and when I use a mobility scooter, we can wear whatever shoes we want since we won't be falling in them or getting sore feet :) just use unattractive shoes to get into the wheelchair and swap them for some sexy ones x
ha, good advice
I ship it, I want more of this.
she's standing up at the beginning...
Zipstone yeah i was so confused😂
Zipstone many people in wheelchairs can stand or walk for short periods of time, they just need assistance for longer periods of time :)
Zipstone being in a wheelchair doesn't mean paralyzed. it could be painful to walk and stand which is why she's in a chair
Zipstone depends on her condition. I have eds and no I don't have a wheelchair but my doctors and my pt wants me to get one as I'm getting weaker and my joints subluxe and dislocate even easier now and way more often. I know a lot of people with eds that use chairs and scooters and some of us can stand and walk for short amounts of time and then some can do it for a very long time depending on the severity and sometimes some of us are even confined full time in a chair or bed.
"in a wheelchair" doesn't mean you are in it all the time. Lots of people can stand or walk short distances but use a chair when going out.
I have MS use a cane but other MS patients use both wheelchair\cane to avoid fatigue and\or balance issues when walking.
Do you ever look at a comment like
why didn't I write that?...
I love her, so cute! She's definitely about to be a new fave of mine 👏🏾💖
Thank you boo!!!
"I'm not gonna be walking in these bitches anyway!" I LOVE THAT SO MUCH I LOVE HER MORE THAN ANYTHING
OMG LOLO!
I'm 19 from NYC and in a wheelchair too! AYEEEE! Lol.
She is so pretty!
Thank you so much for making this video. I am a part time wheelchair user myself and I feel a little self-conscious when I need to use it in front of strangers. This video makes me feel normal and confident about being in my wheelchair :)
"I wanna wear this skirt, but I know once I get in my chair, my Poom point will be out, and that is not what i want to give...
Yet."

I know it confuses onlookers, but there are many different conditions and reasons for needing one. It doesn't mean we are faking it!

"And that's not what I'm trying to give... Yet" the smile hahaha
Her face when she says "yet" had me rolling on my bed laughing.
Omg! Yessssss! This was so adorable! "The Lord took His time with him....Maybe I should let him take me home. Oh no, he can't have my address yet." LMAO
As a person who will eventually need a chair this was extremely comforting and happy for me to watch
I read the title as "thoughts you have while dating a wheelchair" I was like wtf?!😂😂😂
Me- not dating nor in a wheelchair

the safest option to get in a restaurant you've never been is chicken fingers and fries
"the lord took his time with him" omg hahahahaha
Heels!!!! I'm not walking anyways 😂😂😂

The acting in this video is outstanding.
OutSTANDING.

She is absolutely adorable

I don’t get it. Her thoughts seem pretty typical to me. I thought they’d be different.
This video does not feature an able-bodied protagonist. This video is ableist.

She's literally the cutest person ever omg
I love Lolo for Sitting Pretty (yes - she has her own YT channel! :D )
We need more videos like this!
