AITA for refusing to give up my seat on the bus.

I (16F) have multiple disabilities, but they are not visible.

Because of my disabilities, some days, I can not stand up for long periods of times.

I get dizzy and faint.

It also causes my joint pain and fatigue.

Everyday is different, so some days I am able to.

An older woman asked this young woman to give up her seat.

The other day, I had to catch a bus and it was packed.

I managed to find a seat as I wouldn’t have been able to stand up for a long period of time.

At the next stop, came a woman.

She seemed to be in her 40s/50s.

She got dirty glances and a comment on respect when she refused.

She came up to me and asked me to give up my seat.

I informed her that, due to some of my disabilities, I wouldn’t be able to.

She then made a comment on how people like me know nothing about respect.

Luckily, someone else offered her their seat, but she kept giving me dirty glances.

So, AITA?

The older woman is the one who was wrong for thinking she’s entitled to a bus seat more than this young woman.
