Well, I can fully understand rahul's predicament.
So, advice to concentrate on studies and so on is too, too moralistic
and
beside the point.
Specifically Rahul, here the third requirement of my theorum about
desirability of escorts is being violated, i.e. the constant sighted
escort
is intruding upon your privacy and your friends may not like it and
consider
you an intrusion.
So, try to restrict your sighted escort to the essential tasks and not
use
him/her for collective activities such as outings with friends.
I know you will have to work your way to it.
All the best.

High Rahul,
Why do you like someone's company?
I fully agree with this sentence.
I think first of all you concentrate more on your study.
Best of luck for your HSC exam.
Don't thinks negative.
Now see how many reply come to you?
These are all friends, so why are you worry?

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

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
