reblog bc they used to teach us the opposite in school and manner guides
#I thought the opposite too I am so sorry
To be honest, it’s really up to the person in the chair. I honestly don’t mind either one but I’ve met people who get uncomfortable/annoyed when an abled-bodied person does the bottom pose. The biggest problem is the infantilization behind it. (You’re making the same pose that you would when talking to a child.) But then again, sometimes bending over is the only way that I can hear you (otherwise, the noise is coming from two feet above me). Plus there have been times when the person crouching down has made the conversation more meaningful because it’s like they’re bringing themselves to my level and making direct eye-contact? I don’t know. I guess it just depends on the intent of the abled person.
Again, that’s my own personal viewpoint.
If you’re ever in a situation like this and you’re really unsure, just ask the person in the chair. They’ll tell you what they’re comfortable with.
