Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I think we agree more than we realize, lol. I certainly can't condemn those who have been mentally drained from years of trying to dig themselves out of a seemingly bottomless hole. Unequal access to resources is arguably the biggest difficulty
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
Blind people struggle to ask forvn help, so trying all options is difficult. We need to learn how to ask for help

Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I just want to clarify that I certainly don't advocate for giving up. I certainly hope that everyone is as hopeful and willing to absolutely do everything in their power to make things happen for them, especially when times get tough. I am simply
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
Post 6 was not intended to be used as a give up and give in idea. I've had my fair share of success amongst sighted individuals. I attended mainstream school, got along in classes with other sighted individuals where I was the only blind one
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
@15, I take your points. Truth be told, having been denied by Uber drivers time and time again because of my guide dog, it started taking it's toll some time ago. Why can't I get from Point A to Point B without having to find a decent driver
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
@13, I can see we're just going to have to agree to disagree. I understood your original point, and hence, I still stand by my response in post 11. I hesitate to engage in what is considered a "circular argument," but I do indeed still
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I think a lot depends on personality of the blind person which may lead to liking or disliking.For instance, while I was able to make some good friends in the last two years of the university, my best friend who is blind and who studies
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I can't discredit any of the aforementioned points and perspectives, and suffice it to say this is a circular argument when I say "it's easy for you to say it's easy for me to say to move on." I've had my luck in life, and it is quite u
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
11. I disagree about blindness being more recognized than other disabilities, at least within my bubble. I see all sorts of down syndrome awareness, autism awareness, CP awareness, even Elhers Danlos awareness, and the only blindness stuff I see
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I agree with post 6. It is certainly a lot easier said than done. What if you go in for an interview, and the interviewer just doesn't like you because your blind, and deems you unfit for the job. Yeah. You can move on, but you would definitely
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
@7 can you give some examples of how blindness has taught problen solving and alternate thinking? I am asking so I can focus on this concept more. I suck at problem solving, so it would help a lot. I know finding a way around something
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
Unfortunately the world is a cruel place. so if somebody decides not to like you due to their personal preference they are not worth wasting your time on.The quicker the person realises this the better off they are.There are plenty of people
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I agree 100% with Dark and Ironcross. If people can't get past the "but you're blind" aspect, move along. Most of the human race is in "bastardy mode" as Dark put it so eloquently. I like that!Of course, you'll get lucky and
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
Count me in the category of lucky ones. It's only but on a rare occasion I've dealt with moronic humans who don't accept me or my blindness. I take your point, Dark, that "doesn't like" is a pretty vague choice of words.When co
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
It sounds as easy as pie when you say it; person B doesn't like you because you're person A and you're blind. You can't help it, so move along. The problem is that, unless you have no sense of worth at all, getting past the pain is not as easy
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
Hello folks. Well, often my religious beliefs, point of view and personal tastes are considered "different" from the standard. There's also the fact that I'm totally blind. But I've seen bad apples coming from both sides of the bas
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 group of people, who accept you and you hav

Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I hate it when someone doesn't talk or like a blind person because they are blind.But that same person if you tell her/him that is fat thats it you crossed the line.You make her/him feel bad but how the blind person feels when a sighted person
Re: They don't like me because I'm blind...
I would say if someone doesn't like you because you're blind, they haven't taken the time to get to know you enough to make that decision based off merit, and it is instead based off some ignorance, fear, or notion. If that happens, that person
They don't like me because I'm blind...
Person A is blind. Person B is sighted. Person A is upset because Person B doesn't like Person A because Person A is blind. Person A goes onto say that they wish they were sighted so they could have more friends or be more welcomed among others
