Re: Please advise me on my situation.

Re: Please advise me on my situation. I'm with Dark on this one. Making a production out of your disability is almost guaranteed to cause more friction, not less. The best way to introduce yourself is to be the person with X hobby and Y interest, and oh yes, just happens to be blind

Re: Please advise me on my situation.

Re: Please advise me on my situation. I'm afraid I utterly disagree with Mads here. Standing up and giving everyone a long speech about yourself and your blindness will not only make you feel as if you stick out, but also put you up on a pedestal and thus less easy for others to approach

Re: Please advise me on my situation.

Re: Please advise me on my situation. Common fears that are well warranted. I had teachers in high school who would sit around the table and talk about me, while I was sitting at another table listening. To be fair though, I got back at them by talking to other students about them behind

Re: Please advise me on my situation. So, I should just act myself? That seems easy enough. What about the awkwardness from the others? How do I deal with that? I really don’t want people talking about me while I’m right there. I’m not saying they’re all mean, but these are all common
