RE: Being visually impaired: Why I keep explaining to others that I am visually impaired.

in #life9 years ago

I live with a condition myself and I can relate to having experimented to find the right way to let people into your reality. I want to be understood, yes, but sometimes I am more worried about being misunderstood and end up explaining myself too much which can come off as lack of confidence.

I don't have to come out, it's very rare when I ever have to speak about my condition, most of the time I can avoid it and I often choose to. But from time to time I do come out to someone just to show them they are wrong in their prejudice and spare someone else from having to experiment to find the right way to tell.

Yes,my point exactly. There are times I feel more like explaining and other times I just don't haha.
