Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
The problem leibylucw, is your qualify "doesn't like" covers a hole multitude of sins (often literally), some of which are more or less reprehensible than others.
For example, if your in a large group of people, and you have a friend or two, well that one person who ignores your existance or tries to snub you is easy to pass over since hay, you've met your friends and have your decent people. What do you do though, when you go to a new social group/group of people and have to sit around for hours because nobody wants to speak to you, or can never get people beyond the "weird blind person" syndrome.
What do you do if your trying to get served in a shop and the cashier just flat out ignores you, or when your fired from your job on a flimsy excuse which doesn't have to do with blindness honest gov.
And what do you do on those occasions you actually do run into someone who is malicious or actively abusive, since yes, it does happen.
If your in a social situation where your liable to run into people who will treat you like a human being, then yeah, its pretty easy to skim past the scub bags, however in my experience those sorts of situations are rare inddeed. The most common reaction I tend to observe myself, is that people simply ignore your existence, often en mass, which makes making new friends, or heck sometimes even basic jobs like shopping bloody difficult.
There isn't anything you can do about this, because unfortunately blindness is still the unrecognized minority, and while these days if someone of a given religion/race/gender, or heck even someone in a wheel chair were treated that way there would be hell to pay, unfortunately disability rights campaigners tend to forget blind people exist.
Bottom line, people are bastards only interested in themselves! If you happen to find people who are not bastards, count yourself lucky, but don't expect too much because selfish bastardy is the base state of humanity, so the best you can do is tell humanity to fuck off and try to make the best of it on your own, since that's pretty much where you'll be, unless your very, very lucky.
