How is it internalized ableism to point out that people do think like this

Thats not what i was trying to get at. Actual faced ableism is real but internalizing it is to preempt advocating for oneself due to the possibility someone may see said disability negatively. Not accusing not saying theres any wrongdoing or thinking i just also have pots and feel this way and know to remind myself this before i preempt myself
