Hey Rahul, Got some time from office work so couldn’t stop butting in.
All brilliant points except one where there is a need mentioned for discussing it out with your friends. In my opinion, should not be done so, you will only seek sympathy and would emotionally induce your friends to hang out with you but they would not get convinced. DO it through action and performance. How? Buddy, think little practically by keeping aside depressing emotions for a little time. Why do you like someone’s company? Are you getting some answers? It’s your independence of mobility, body language, personality, talking skills, knowledge of relevant things, flexibility and rendering help. Cheerful smile and sense of humor attract embrace from people. You must be possessing many of above mentioned qualities. Capitalize on it. People will not come to you unless they believe that you add value to their lives in any which way. To be specific, try to normalize your life style as much as you can with your mainstream peers. You should be at least partially independent in mobility to gain others confidence in you. How do you walk to your place after getting down from your car? Who picks up your bag and carry it? Does always your aid only find things for you before you extend your hands? Then time to thing and act my friend. Even though blessed with multiple difficulties, I have lived an excellent college life. And those joyous moments and friends are real treasures of my life. Therefore, make the most of it. That time never comes back. Finally, keep your head high exuberating brilliance, confidence and substance with a little smile and things will fall in place. Good luck Do call me on Sundays if need be. I would like to know about a girl you like. Joking. Haha! Pardon me if you didn’t like any of the things mentioned above. ~Cheers On 11/27/11, Rahul Bajaj <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > I hope you all are well. > Like I've mentioned in my earlier posts, I'm 17 and am currently in 12th > grade. > I have quite a few sighted friends, but I've noticed that they hardly > ever call me when they go for movies, have birthday parties or have > get-togethers. > I feel that my visual impairment is a major reason for this. > We have appointed a sighted guide who goes with me everywhere. > > So, I often get depressed and frustrated when my friends don't call me. > In fact, for me, this is the biggest challenge that I currently have > to face due to my visual impairment. > I can't even ask my friends if they don't call me because of my visual > problem, because none of them will ever admit it. > > So, has anyone here faced this problem? > Please share your views and suggestions. > > Cheers, > Rahul > > > Search for old postings at: > http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ > > To unsubscribe send a message to > [email protected] > with the subject unsubscribe. > > To change your subscription to digest mode or make any other changes, please > visit the list home page at > http://accessindia.org.in/mailman/listinfo/accessindia_accessindia.org.in > > -- “The waves breaking on the surface draw all the attention, but it is the current beneath the water that determines your direction.” Search for old postings at: http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/ To unsubscribe send a message to [email protected] with the subject unsubscribe.
