Re: Socializing
I can totally relate with what everybody is saying above in this topic, most people in the world go through the same thing visually impaired disabled or regular folk.
Since I lost my site it has been the opposite as everybody wants to talk to the mixed-race blind giants.
when I had the vision I had no issues with this as I was The big friendly giant and very popular. Now things I used to brush off are starting to get irritating like people not knowing what personal space are and repeating the same questions like how tall are you and jokes in that nature.
I used to be the social hub which connected most of my friends on a daily basis, where we would decide what to do for that day or week socialise game party or play some type of sports.
the more I lost my sights the less sociable I got it seemed which a lot of people picked up on. I don't blame my friends for continuing on with their lives as everybody has their own problems and have their own path in life.
Fortunately I was always a gamer and tend to always have games consoles around which led me to start playing them war as I was not able to go outside by myself anymore.
Which opened me up to a whole new world they call online socialising. I think this happened at the right point of my life as it woke me back up and got me distracted from problems we come across in life as visually impaired people.
It seems my social popularity carried across online and was brilliant for the moments but as always unfortunately everything has to come to a end.
my vision was deteriorating over the years to the point now where I have none
Unfortunatly once again I could no longer be the social hub of my online friends.
