This guy in a wheelchair came to our school once to tell us about what life is like and stuff and we were asking him questions and some idiot asked him “if you were bullied would you stand up for urself”
One of my friends in high school was in a wheelchair. He told a story once of an activity he did in class. The teacher explained the directions which was pretty much "walk around the room and ask each other these questions" or something. But then individually to my friend in the wheelchair he said dead serious "Except you. You're going to _roll_ around." 😂🤦♀️ We had a good laugh and still joke about it to this day but yeah honestly changing the vocab like that makes it even more awkward in my opinion. 🤷♀️ ~:~

a lot of the time “see” or “look” doesn’t mean literally with your vision. like if someone has and object and someone else says “hey can I see that?” of course they can see it, they want to feel it, figure out what said object is with more than just the sense of sight.

Thank you for saying that you don't need to change your vocab. I have a co-worker at the museum where I work that is a huge proponent of accessible programming. She states that we should NEVER used sighted phrasing when doing a visual description. I typically ask people what is preferable but hearing you say it is okay makes me feel so much better. THANK YOU!
I've personally been scared to accidentally say "Hey, look at this" to a blind person, I just didn't want to offend them and/or make them upset about it I'm still a little sceptical about stuff like that though
@@mikikiki fuck is also a pretty common phrase but that doesn't make it ok to say it to your teacher. This is not supporting the original comment, just I don't think something being a common phrase makes it ok to be said
@@mikikiki it could be mentally painful for the blind person, yes they know they are blind, but being reminded of that definetly hurts at least a little
I don't think blind people get enough credit for the "heightened" hearing because they assume it's a natural shift that happens as soon as you go blind. For the most part it sounds like a lot of training! Like honestly go you, that's impressive sensory training.
Thank you for clearing some of this stuff up. My younger sister has been blind since birth and it makes her really mad when people do things like talk loudly around her.
I can only speak for me. And for me, I forget that I’m blind until I’m reminded of it: Someone speaking to me in a condescending manner, only asking about my dog or my blindness, rejecting me for employment. I’m reminded I’m blind when I go to buy a piece of gear for my videography equipment, only to find that it isn’t really usable because designers don’t think about universal accessibility. Or when I’m in an unfamiliar area and can’t consistently determine the traffic patterns because there isn’t a vibrating/audible light pole to clue me into a light cycle. I find lack of accessibility and societal attitudes more disabling than having nonfunctioning orbs.
@@khanhhm5762 I get you, specially if you live in developing countries, the facilities for the disabled is still a far cry. I am very happy that you read my comment and shared how you feel. In that way you are unique too.
@@thanujarajhashekhar1925 Hi: Thanks for your response. I acknowledge that to you, I’m unique, but actually, I’m not; many blind and otherwise disabled people share these feelings. I see what you’re saying about developing countries, but I do not think in terms of facilities for the disabled; that’s exclusion. I think in terms of inclusion-making the world more accessible for everyone, so that disabled and nondisabled people have opportunities to live, contribute, and be their best selves. Disability is a human condition, and everyone-you included if you don’t already have one-will acquire a disability someday at some point in life. Plus when we strive to make the world more accessible, when we push past our own discomforts and look at every human as a worthwhile, valuable individual, we all benefit and evolve. We need to think in terms of how we can support, accommodate, and learn from each other regardless of who we are. This also includes the language we use and the intention behind each word. When one writes “the disabled”, is it because one sees disabled people as a separate category of humans? Does one think disabled people are inferior? If so, then that’s flawed. I deliberately refrain from referring to disabled people as “the disabled” because I want to make it clear that disabled or not, people are people. Take care.
@@meandmyindianhusband6482 that's so true and she has figured it all out making her less dependent on others, of course, her close ones have helped her out a lot and continue to. She has also made it a point to address some common doubts I have always had, like do blind persons dream or can they visualise colors? I appreciate her a lot.

@@rocco416 there's a setting on most of not all devices that can enable touch audio description. Watch Molly Burk and Shane Dawson's collaboration on Shane's UA-cam channel to see what I'm talking about, it's shown on the video titled "MEETING A BLIND PERSON *Awkward*"
I’m not blind, but I just thought of this, and I’ll try I it personally, but I know it’s somewhat different, but try closing your eyes and “watching” a whole episode maybe?
BBC's Sherlock actually has interesting audio description!! I checked it out of curiosity, and it's almost like the narrator's reading a book to you (which at least makes mE imagine it in my head, cuz i do that with books lol).
That depends on the audio descriptions given. You could try this yourself if you have Netflix. But rather than closing your eyes, either turn the screen off or make it so you can’t visually see the screen. Blindfolding is one option, but be warned that this can cause disorientation and headaches initially, and you may become frustrated rather than get something from the experience. I like using audio descriptions with movies/programs that do not have as much dialogue.
LoL yes ‼️I watch a movie about fake blind robber who act like a REAL blind man and a police officers was talking loudly to a blind guy and blind man said hey ‼️ I'm blind not deaf ‼️
I remember at camp one year I met a friend. Then I saw him again and said, "look! It has your name on it!" He replies, "I can't see, I'm blind." "Wait you've been blind this whole time?!?!" That kid lived life like he had no blindness and I will always remember to never limit myself to any disadvantages I think I have.
I have genuinely had a debate with someone who literally believed that when a person becomes blind, their brain instantly rewires itself to improve hearing. Like you basically turn into Daredevil or something. Despite basically every resource out there disagreeing with them, they just wouldn't believe me when I said it's just that people learn to use their hearing better
It'd be like thinking that someone who lost a few fingers gained incredible powers in the ones remaining because they'd adapted to using their hands for everyday tasks. Utterly silly.
this is actually correct though, your brain, overtime, rewires itself to use the space originally used for processing visual stimulants, to auditory stimulation. This is called neuroplasticity which actually happens often.
@@jaylasanchez9396 that's not what was said though, the person claimed that within days you turn into a Daredevil-like superhuman. Complete BS. Neuroplasticity is really just how we learn. If you do an action often enough, it becomes routine. If you focus on using a sense often enough, you become better with it. I've noticed this in myself, even. I have photosensitivity, which has led me to do more in the dark. So I've learned some of the same tricks blind people use to navigate dark spaces, plus I've trained my other senses more to compensate. I also have better low-light vision, but I think that's just the other half of photosensitivity.
Thank you for calling the vocabulary thing a myth! I could have used this video when I was taking a language theory class earlier this year. The professor basically listed “ableist” words as linguistic violence, like idioms and phrases that include the words “see” and “watch.” He was perpetuating the myth that these words are actually harmful, insulting, and detrimental to people who are blind! But it’s like you said: this is how language works! Idioms are idioms, sheesh.
Jeez really? That professor is going too far. Erasing words that don’t fit disabled experiences would only work to make it seem like those experiences are the “norm”, which isn’t true and isn’t helpful. Acknowledge and respect people’s differences, rather than pretend they don’t exist.
my friend got an F or a C at school for a test, she selected variants like "look at this!" for a blind person or "walk over here" for a paralysed person. The "right" choices were "do you hear that?" for a blind person and "drive over here" for a paralysed person. It pisses me off even more now! X)
@@broodjekaas6805 we're not talking directly to her, we're just commenting, not necessarily talking to her. She also has TalkBack on her phone, I know it's bad for reading tons of comments but she has her fiancé to read something for her if she needs it
So I have glasses and I hate the dumb thing people do with "HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP" when I take them off. Your fingers don't just disappear when I take my glasses off, they just become fuzzy smh.
School without glasses is horrible. I didn't have glasses yet and I can't even see the white board. Looked like black ink mushed together. Same thing with fingers but I just compare the color of your skin with different surfaces. With the thickess of the fingers I can tell how much fingers you're holding.
SAME they take them off then ask how many fingers they are holding up they also say can I wear them and when I want the glasses back they say hold on they are cool
I try to explain to people that my hearing isn't better I just REALLY focus on the sounds I hear. My kids have honed their skills too. Thanks for the video! 👀👁👀
With practice and use, your other senses become more refined. Your brain also rewires itself and reassigns the areas that are no longer being used by the nonfunctioning or limited sense. That’s a super basic explanation.
I go to school with a blind person and first thing first day she went up to the front of the class and basically told us all these things straight up everyone respects her
I used to have a friend who was legally blind. She could read if the print was large and inches from her face, but otherwise everything was just coloured blobs to her. She was really open as long as you were respectful! I learned so much from her just because I could be like "why do you never look at who's talking" (it was clearer for her to look out the corners of her eyes) or "how do you play video games if you can't see?" (very badly lol)
My favorite line that most blind people say; “I’m blind, not deaf.” Idk why but I love it probably bc it’s lowkey making someone feel more idiotic for assuming a blind person is automatically deaf or harder hearing.💕😂
Yea I feel like most people see that the blind person is not making eye contact and they speak louder because that’s what they would do to a non blind person to get there attention and it takes more interaction to change that habit
Thank you for letting us know more about this!! Brazil loves you, Lucy!! 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷❤️❤️ I just watched all of your videos, please keep posting them, i love them!!!
I used to care for a man in his fifties who happened to be blind at a nursing home. We could never comment on how anything looked with other residents, even during fall during smoke time when all the other residents would want to talk about it. We couldnt ask him if he watch the football game last night either, he would always get upset and say that of course he didn't watch it bc hes blind, even if he had listened to it. Truthfully, he was just mean and was probably very bitter, but it was difficult to care for him from time to time because he would become physical. No he was not mentally impaired, tho they did keep on the dementia/behavior floor due to his anger issues.
If he went blind when he was older its probably because old people who go blind are not given rehab so are left to deal with it mostly alone depending on family situation for support Its the same with all disabilities when someone spends theyre whole life being able bodied and likely looking down on disabled people they get angry because now they are "lesser" So he probably was a bit bitter Thats the first ive ever heard someone get annoyed at sighted words tho so he is a very rare type We are not all assholes lol
Please don’t think me rude or cheeky but I feel bad for him because he probably went through a lot but I feel bad for you as well I am blind and I don’t mind if people say do you watch that or did you see that or would you look at that
@@michelemontgomery1341 this man was just very angry I think. It was failed suicide attempt that caused his blindness and I think he was just miserable. He had good days and bad days but he was very unhappy and I definitely agree with you. I feel bad for him too
@@lostboibound4841 he became blind after a failed suicide attempt. He was alone a lot and I felt very bad for him. I think when he became blind he just felt stuck and I think he's very angry that he has to spend his time in a nursing home and he isn't even old. Idk what opportunities he had but it's definitely very sad
@@Pixelpotatoes true tbh going blind is like you feel your entire world is slipping away and there is nothing you can do about it. Then after a while you get used to it but idk i always feel like me and everyone else live in totally different galaxies that overlap every now and then. There is a lot to learn when you go blind if you want to be happy and fulfilled. You can no longer feel connected to your culture because you are not a part of it anymore. Now you are "the blind person". You lose social skills because people in the sighted world use gestures and facial expressions as cues. Then if/when you learn how to hear some social cues that also acts as a barrier to socialising with people because you are reading the cues that person is not trying to tell you (example: i can hear how a person feels about what they are saying and use this as a cue to tell me how to react to them. But if they are using visual cues to mask or hide their feelings i cant pick up on it so i say something based on how they truely feel rather than the personality they are trying to be and the sighted person ends up thinking im creepy because i am "reading their minds" and feeling voilated as if i just stole their deepest thoughts and feelings.) Also you will prpbably spend a large amount of effort each day to just look normal. I wear an oversized hoodie so that the sleeves hang, this way when i am sitting at a table i can lower my arm and will feel the sleeve hit the table before my hand so i can slow my arm down because sighted people slow down when they get close to things they are going to touch. Or when i walk i walk with my head facing fowards because that looks normal to a sighted person but for me i get to know more about where i am if i move my head in different possitions so i can cross reference the things i hear at different angles. Lol i do all this just to look a little more normal and tbh it works more people will be social with me if i am acting "normal" then if i act naturally. This makes it sound like i am sad about being blind but im not lol im one of those people who would not take any "cure" if they found one.
This girl is amazing she's blind and preforming a TikTok and has it all set out. She is proof that blind people are just like people who can see. Your blindness doesn't disable you from doing stuff like this. Blind people are powerfull and just like everyone else.
I absolutely love your channel. I work with kids with visual impairments, and it's awesome to come across amazing channels like yours to demonstrate that they are, despite what they may believe, capable of doing things for themselves. Thank you!
I personally like how Blindness was represented in ATLA (Avatar the Last Airbender) Because Toph (the blind character) was seen and treated as just another person- aside from how her family treated her. None of her friends changed their vocabulary or behaviors to suit Toph, and it actually led to an iconic moment in the show. This moment was when the main cast were looking for a building in the desert. They are up high in the sky to get a better look. Toph yells "I SEE IT! OVER THERE! I FOUND IT!" and everyone rushes to her sides to see where she is pointing. Toph then looks in their direction, smiling, and waves a hand in front of her face. She also had a way of "seeing" that focused on vibrations and echo-location sort of, but even that had its limitations. (She went into depth on the limits in the story arc that involved the funny desert scene)
As part of my job I get to walk a blind kid to the bus every day at the end of school. (Routes a bit complicated, but he does well at it, I'm mostly there to make sure he gets safely out of the band room and that he has his route down well before he starts making the trip alone. He can navigate most of the school himself otherwise. Even the stairs. :) ) I love talking to him, and it's always interesting to hear him say that he saw this or that, or that he can't wait to see someone later. He even started telling me about his favorite colors one day and will always ask what colors things are if they're not usually there (like when a car drives by randomly) It's so wholesome and I love that I get to walk with him every day.
Could you do a “how does a blind girl do her makeup” video if you haven’t already? You always look amazing, and can do makeup far better than a lot of sighted people!
Your eyes are lovely, even though they may seem different I think they look awesome. Also this is my first time seeing a video of yours, keep it up it's so good! ☺️
I like this channel because it will help me in the future when I’m trying to realistically portray a character who used to be blind (but isn’t anymore because magic)
And its funny because theoretically being blind over a long period of time would increase your others senses like hearing and touch, so she can probably hear better then a person that is not blind depending on how long she was blind.
@@saintzproductions2033 WRONG these senses do not increase We have to put the damn work in to train ourselves to use our senses better it takes years. Sighted people are just untrained in using senses other than eyes. Give us some credit for our work dont just pretend its magic🤣🤣
I am blind, and there was someone sitting near me. They were talking about my guide dog. They told the person beside me, "Tell her I like her dog!" Seriously? I said, "Thank you. And, I heard you.
I had a blind best friend that I met when I was 11 years old, one time, she cried because she just realized that I'm the only person who really didn't talk or treat her any differently. She said she felt really comfortable around me as I don't treat her as someone incapable or something. I simply talked to her like how would I talk to a friend, afterall we vibe. We're still best friends for 7 years and counting ☺️
@Yay Yay Many people have posed this question on Lucy's videos. I use an iPhone, which has built-in accessibility features that allow blind people to use the device independently. I rarely use Siri to dictate because I have found across the years that I've had to do much more editing of messages and such when she inserts text I never said, so when Apple introduced braille screen input (utilizing braille letter dot configurations to type on the screen), I learned that and was instantly hooked. I do fairly well with the on-screen keyboard through touch typing (sliding across the letters until I find the right one, then lifting the index finger to insert the desired character), but braille screen input is much faster. Plus, enabling screen curtain to make sure I have privacy conserves battery. VoiceOver does what I need it to do so I can text, respond to comments, etc. Android devices also have accessibility features as I understand it, but I don't know enough about these to comment on how that works. I hope this answered your question adequately. Have a great day.
@Yay Yay Yes, it certainly is. But there are still improvements that can and should be made in terms of accessing things like touchscreen-operated kitchen appliances. If Apple can make things accessible for those of us who have low or no vision, there's really no excuse for appliance manufacturers not to do the same. Unless something is labeled with some kind of tactile marking (a dot on a start button for example) I can't run my own dishwasher or set up and start the washer without sighted assistance. In the 21st century, there is no excuse for such design flaws; things either need to speak or need to have the ability to be accessed via bluetooth with a VoiceOver-compatible application on an IOS device and android's equivalent. That aspect of life without vision is extremely frustrating for sure, but not completely impossible to somehow learn to adapt to with some nonvisual tools and techniques that exist. Until such changes can be made, we're kind of stuck in a way. Older appliances had buttons we could at least get tactile feedback from, which I miss.
The hearing thing makes sense, actually. You can train yourself to focus more on hearing and listen better. My band director in school always heard the tiniest little things that students couldn't, like one person playing a rhythm wrong, because he trained himself to do that. It would make sense is blind people could do the same thing, but in a more general sense, not specifically with music.
Yeah. Stop yelling. They’ll hear your heartbeat and tell that you’re lying and then stop you from dying when one of Wilson Fisk’s men tries to take an important document that’s stored on a flash drive from you and then dump the guy’s body along with the flash drive in front of the press’s office
Weird thing is i cant always tell when people are lying but since i went blind it is very clear to me if people believe what they are saying or not Kinda stings when someone says youre looking good tho and you know they dont believe themselves 😭🤣🤣🤣
I like how she says that her hearing is no better than a normal person's and then proceeds to explain that her ears are a highly trained to hone in on certain noises basically confirming that her sense of hearing is better than everybody else's
Saying our hearing is better makes it like a gift and doesnt give us credit for the years of hard work we put into it....and it also makes the blind people who cant train themself as well as others feel shit about it...and makes new blind people fustrated because people told them their hearing would get better when it doesnt you have to work for it.
My daughter is blind, nonverbal, and severely cognitively impaired. I don’t know how many times people have asked if she speaks sign language or how many times people have started speaking louder to her lol. They are surprised on a few things she loves. She loves being told she is pretty. She loves to skateboard and go to the movies. She loves rollercoasters and I personally have to brave them to go on them with her (my hands are getting clammy right now thinking about them lol.) I honestly do think her sense of hearing is more heightened then mine, but perhaps I am just a little hard of hearing 😅.
I once had a friend in primary school who told me but I’m lucky that I can’t see because somethings are gross to look at in the world don’t understand what They meant because I wish I could see the world but sadly I can’t hopefully I will be able to Some day
@@rosemary.777 right but her phrasing is confusing here.. So if she's saying in the first point that we CAN say things like "see this?!" then in the second point is she saying we absolutely should change our vocabulary ? But then she says she personally says those things... it seems like she got confused on how she was presenting the video because it doesn't fully make sense to me.
How does a blind girl: Put on lippy Get their nails done or do their nails Play a video game Ride a bike(can they?) Also, is it just a black out like when you close your eyes when you are blind? Thanks if you use any of these Lucy! You are my idol! You make me so happy each day because you are so positive!

I'ma give a beatiful description of the ocean because I think that would just make people's day The blue waves thrashed back and forth in the sunlight the ocean waves crashed against the rocks then went calm the blue waves rocked along the shore as one of the fish swam to and from the coral pink blue and red was a beatiful color for coral rarely seen which makes it a sight to soak in you make your way through an abandoned ship that fish have made their home eyes sparkling with wonder about how such a beautiful piece of human machinery ended up like that you swim a little bit more under the blue sparkling waves you walk up on shore and call it a day going back to your ship and sleeping under the moonlight that shines through your window

a lot of the time “see” or “look” doesn’t mean literally with your vision. like if someone has and object and someone else says “hey can I see that?” of course they can see it, they want to feel it, figure out what said object is with more than just the sense of sight.

I don't think blind people get enough credit for the "heightened" hearing because they assume it's a natural shift that happens as soon as you go blind. For the most part it sounds like a lot of training! Like honestly go you, that's impressive sensory training.
I think of it like working out and building a muscle. Obviously it’s more complicated than that but you are building up your hearing to tolerate more.
Thank you for clearing some of this stuff up. My younger sister has been blind since birth and it makes her really mad when people do things like talk loudly around her.

She makes it look like being blind isn't a disability, but that she's unique
I can only speak for me. And for me, I forget that I’m blind until I’m reminded of it: Someone speaking to me in a condescending manner, only asking about my dog or my blindness, rejecting me for employment.
I’m reminded I’m blind when I go to buy a piece of gear for my videography equipment, only to find that it isn’t really usable because designers don’t think about universal accessibility.
Or when I’m in an unfamiliar area and can’t consistently determine the traffic patterns because there isn’t a vibrating/audible light pole to clue me into a light cycle.
I find lack of accessibility and societal attitudes more disabling than having nonfunctioning orbs.
@@khanhhm5762 I get you, specially if you live in developing countries, the facilities for the disabled is still a far cry.
I am very happy that you read my comment and shared how you feel.
In that way you are unique too.
@@thanujarajhashekhar1925 Hi:
Thanks for your response. I acknowledge that to you, I’m unique, but actually, I’m not; many blind and otherwise disabled people share these feelings.
I see what you’re saying about developing countries, but I do not think in terms of facilities for the disabled; that’s exclusion. I think in terms of inclusion-making the world more accessible for everyone, so that disabled and nondisabled people have opportunities to live, contribute, and be their best selves. Disability is a human condition, and everyone-you included if you don’t already have one-will acquire a disability someday at some point in life. Plus when we strive to make the world more accessible, when we push past our own discomforts and look at every human as a worthwhile, valuable individual, we all benefit and evolve.
We need to think in terms of how we can support, accommodate, and learn from each other regardless of who we are. This also includes the language we use and the intention behind each word. When one writes “the disabled”, is it because one sees disabled people as a separate category of humans? Does one think disabled people are inferior? If so, then that’s flawed.
I deliberately refrain from referring to disabled people as “the disabled” because I want to make it clear that disabled or not, people are people.
Take care.

Imagine listening to a description of a cartoon acid trip.
I’m not blind, but I just thought of this, and I’ll try I it personally, but I know it’s somewhat different, but try closing your eyes and “watching” a whole episode maybe?
BBC's Sherlock actually has interesting audio description!! I checked it out of curiosity, and it's almost like the narrator's reading a book to you (which at least makes mE imagine it in my head, cuz i do that with books lol).
@@DireBowser I have good vision and I listen to hxh, I don't watch it. I watched it 2 years later and I literally cried
That depends on the audio descriptions given. You could try this yourself if you have Netflix. But rather than closing your eyes, either turn the screen off or make it so you can’t visually see the screen. Blindfolding is one option, but be warned that this can cause disorientation and headaches initially, and you may become frustrated rather than get something from the experience.
I like using audio descriptions with movies/programs that do not have as much dialogue.
People: you need to speak REALLY loudly to blind people so they can hear you
Also people: Blind people have REALLY good hearing

I remember at camp one year I met a friend. Then I saw him again and said, "look! It has your name on it!" He replies, "I can't see, I'm blind."
"Wait you've been blind this whole time?!?!"
That kid lived life like he had no blindness and I will always remember to never limit myself to any disadvantages I think I have.
There is literally no way that this really happened
I have genuinely had a debate with someone who literally believed that when a person becomes blind, their brain instantly rewires itself to improve hearing.
Like you basically turn into Daredevil or something. Despite basically every resource out there disagreeing with them, they just wouldn't believe me when I said it's just that people learn to use their hearing better
It'd be like thinking that someone who lost a few fingers gained incredible powers in the ones remaining because they'd adapted to using their hands for everyday tasks. Utterly silly.
this is actually correct though, your brain, overtime, rewires itself to use the space originally used for processing visual stimulants, to auditory stimulation. This is called neuroplasticity which actually happens often.
@@jaylasanchez9396 that's not what was said though, the person claimed that within days you turn into a Daredevil-like superhuman.
Complete BS.
Neuroplasticity is really just how we learn. If you do an action often enough, it becomes routine. If you focus on using a sense often enough, you become better with it.
I've noticed this in myself, even. I have photosensitivity, which has led me to do more in the dark. So I've learned some of the same tricks blind people use to navigate dark spaces, plus I've trained my other senses more to compensate.
I also have better low-light vision, but I think that's just the other half of photosensitivity.
@@Nerobyrne man if only lol
My mother thinks that
Thank you for calling the vocabulary thing a myth! I could have used this video when I was taking a language theory class earlier this year. The professor basically listed “ableist” words as linguistic violence, like idioms and phrases that include the words “see” and “watch.” He was perpetuating the myth that these words are actually harmful, insulting, and detrimental to people who are blind! But it’s like you said: this is how language works! Idioms are idioms, sheesh.
Jeez really? That professor is going too far. Erasing words that don’t fit disabled experiences would only work to make it seem like those experiences are the “norm”, which isn’t true and isn’t helpful. Acknowledge and respect people’s differences, rather than pretend they don’t exist.
Why you posting this she aint reading it
Did they interview blind people before they decided to teach that? It's like he did the wrong thing but had the right intention?
my friend got an F or a C at school for a test, she selected variants like "look at this!" for a blind person or "walk over here" for a paralysed person. The "right" choices were "do you hear that?" for a blind person and "drive over here" for a paralysed person. It pisses me off even more now! X)

So that’s why when you loose one sense another or more increase. Wow! Thank you for sharing this information. I wouldn’t have known anywhere else!
With practice and use, your other senses become more refined. Your brain also rewires itself and reassigns the areas that are no longer being used by the nonfunctioning or limited sense. That’s a super basic explanation.

FINALLY SOMEONE WHO UNDERSTANDS AND CAN RELATE
I used to care for a man in his fifties who happened to be blind at a nursing home. We could never comment on how anything looked with other residents, even during fall during smoke time when all the other residents would want to talk about it. We couldnt ask him if he watch the football game last night either, he would always get upset and say that of course he didn't watch it bc hes blind, even if he had listened to it. Truthfully, he was just mean and was probably very bitter, but it was difficult to care for him from time to time because he would become physical. No he was not mentally impaired, tho they did keep on the dementia/behavior floor due to his anger issues.
If he went blind when he was older its probably because old people who go blind are not given rehab so are left to deal with it mostly alone depending on family situation for support
Its the same with all disabilities when someone spends theyre whole life being able bodied and likely looking down on disabled people they get angry because now they are "lesser"
So he probably was a bit bitter
Thats the first ive ever heard someone get annoyed at sighted words tho so he is a very rare type
We are not all assholes lol
Please don’t think me rude or cheeky but I feel bad for him because he probably went through a lot but I feel bad for you as well I am blind and I don’t mind if people say do you watch that or did you see that or would you look at that
@@michelemontgomery1341 this man was just very angry I think. It was failed suicide attempt that caused his blindness and I think he was just miserable. He had good days and bad days but he was very unhappy and I definitely agree with you. I feel bad for him too
@@lostboibound4841 he became blind after a failed suicide attempt. He was alone a lot and I felt very bad for him. I think when he became blind he just felt stuck and I think he's very angry that he has to spend his time in a nursing home and he isn't even old. Idk what opportunities he had but it's definitely very sad
@@Pixelpotatoes true tbh going blind is like you feel your entire world is slipping away and there is nothing you can do about it. Then after a while you get used to it but idk i always feel like me and everyone else live in totally different galaxies that overlap every now and then. There is a lot to learn when you go blind if you want to be happy and fulfilled. You can no longer feel connected to your culture because you are not a part of it anymore. Now you are "the blind person". You lose social skills because people in the sighted world use gestures and facial expressions as cues. Then if/when you learn how to hear some social cues that also acts as a barrier to socialising with people because you are reading the cues that person is not trying to tell you (example: i can hear how a person feels about what they are saying and use this as a cue to tell me how to react to them. But if they are using visual cues to mask or hide their feelings i cant pick up on it so i say something based on how they truely feel rather than the personality they are trying to be and the sighted person ends up thinking im creepy because i am "reading their minds" and feeling voilated as if i just stole their deepest thoughts and feelings.) Also you will prpbably spend a large amount of effort each day to just look normal. I wear an oversized hoodie so that the sleeves hang, this way when i am sitting at a table i can lower my arm and will feel the sleeve hit the table before my hand so i can slow my arm down because sighted people slow down when they get close to things they are going to touch. Or when i walk i walk with my head facing fowards because that looks normal to a sighted person but for me i get to know more about where i am if i move my head in different possitions so i can cross reference the things i hear at different angles. Lol i do all this just to look a little more normal and tbh it works more people will be social with me if i am acting "normal" then if i act naturally.
This makes it sound like i am sad about being blind but im not lol im one of those people who would not take any "cure" if they found one.
Lucy, thank you for the confirmation on, that your other Senses don’t get “sharper”, you just pay more attention to them

This girl is amazing she's blind and preforming a TikTok and has it all set out. She is proof that blind people are just like people who can see. Your blindness doesn't disable you from doing stuff like this. Blind people are powerfull and just like everyone else.

I'm glad she's here the first of her kind to explain all these things.....
The first? There’s a lot of blind youtubers that explain things just like this and have been doing it for years.
I personally like how Blindness was represented in ATLA (Avatar the Last Airbender)
Because Toph (the blind character) was seen and treated as just another person- aside from how her family treated her. None of her friends changed their vocabulary or behaviors to suit Toph, and it actually led to an iconic moment in the show.
This moment was when the main cast were looking for a building in the desert. They are up high in the sky to get a better look. Toph yells "I SEE IT! OVER THERE! I FOUND IT!" and everyone rushes to her sides to see where she is pointing.
Toph then looks in their direction, smiling, and waves a hand in front of her face.
She also had a way of "seeing" that focused on vibrations and echo-location sort of, but even that had its limitations. (She went into depth on the limits in the story arc that involved the funny desert scene)
As part of my job I get to walk a blind kid to the bus every day at the end of school. (Routes a bit complicated, but he does well at it, I'm mostly there to make sure he gets safely out of the band room and that he has his route down well before he starts making the trip alone. He can navigate most of the school himself otherwise. Even the stairs. :) ) I love talking to him, and it's always interesting to hear him say that he saw this or that, or that he can't wait to see someone later. He even started telling me about his favorite colors one day and will always ask what colors things are if they're not usually there (like when a car drives by randomly) It's so wholesome and I love that I get to walk with him every day.
So sweet 🥺

"When talking to a blind person you need to speak very loudly"
I think somebody just got confused and thought that you couldn't hear well or something
And its funny because theoretically being blind over a long period of time would increase your others senses like hearing and touch, so she can probably hear better then a person that is not blind depending on how long she was blind.

I had a blind best friend that I met when I was 11 years old, one time, she cried because she just realized that I'm the only person who really didn't talk or treat her any differently. She said she felt really comfortable around me as I don't treat her as someone incapable or something. I simply talked to her like how would I talk to a friend, afterall we vibe. We're still best friends for 7 years and counting ☺️
How does a blind girl have better makeup than me 😭👏
I love this woman. Respect
That last really shocked me because I actually thought that when you lose one sense your other senses get better
Nah, we just have to use the senses we do have much more effectively to compensate for the one that's missing.
@Yay Yay Many people have posed this question on Lucy's videos. I use an iPhone, which has built-in accessibility features that allow blind people to use the device independently. I rarely use Siri to dictate because I have found across the years that I've had to do much more editing of messages and such when she inserts text I never said, so when Apple introduced braille screen input (utilizing braille letter dot configurations to type on the screen), I learned that and was instantly hooked. I do fairly well with the on-screen keyboard through touch typing (sliding across the letters until I find the right one, then lifting the index finger to insert the desired character), but braille screen input is much faster. Plus, enabling screen curtain to make sure I have privacy conserves battery. VoiceOver does what I need it to do so I can text, respond to comments, etc. Android devices also have accessibility features as I understand it, but I don't know enough about these to comment on how that works. I hope this answered your question adequately. Have a great day.
@Yay Yay Yes, it certainly is. But there are still improvements that can and should be made in terms of accessing things like touchscreen-operated kitchen appliances. If Apple can make things accessible for those of us who have low or no vision, there's really no excuse for appliance manufacturers not to do the same. Unless something is labeled with some kind of tactile marking (a dot on a start button for example) I can't run my own dishwasher or set up and start the washer without sighted assistance. In the 21st century, there is no excuse for such design flaws; things either need to speak or need to have the ability to be accessed via bluetooth with a VoiceOver-compatible application on an IOS device and android's equivalent. That aspect of life without vision is extremely frustrating for sure, but not completely impossible to somehow learn to adapt to with some nonvisual tools and techniques that exist. Until such changes can be made, we're kind of stuck in a way. Older appliances had buttons we could at least get tactile feedback from, which I miss.
The hearing thing makes sense, actually. You can train yourself to focus more on hearing and listen better. My band director in school always heard the tiniest little things that students couldn't, like one person playing a rhythm wrong, because he trained himself to do that. It would make sense is blind people could do the same thing, but in a more general sense, not specifically with music.
Every time I say “see” to a blind person I always feel rude so thank you for the information! :D
If I asked for an autograph would you give me one, cause I really admire you! Your so confident.

I like how she says that her hearing is no better than a normal person's and then proceeds to explain that her ears are a highly trained to hone in on certain noises basically confirming that her sense of hearing is better than everybody else's
Saying our hearing is better makes it like a gift and doesnt give us credit for the years of hard work we put into it....and it also makes the blind people who cant train themself as well as others feel shit about it...and makes new blind people fustrated because people told them their hearing would get better when it doesnt you have to work for it.
My daughter is blind, nonverbal, and severely cognitively impaired. I don’t know how many times people have asked if she speaks sign language or how many times people have started speaking louder to her lol. They are surprised on a few things she loves. She loves being told she is pretty. She loves to skateboard and go to the movies. She loves rollercoasters and I personally have to brave them to go on them with her (my hands are getting clammy right now thinking about them lol.) I honestly do think her sense of hearing is more heightened then mine, but perhaps I am just a little hard of hearing 😅.

You should join our roleplay. Seems you enjoy writing and we need someone who is good at describing things.

Random 9 year olds: she's not blind why does she have a pupil

Tell your cousin you can't always tell blindness...

They are only 9 tho so its cute
Me who didn't even know these myths were a thing in the first place: *brain loading*
When talking to a blind person speak loudly me to my deaf best friend " Oh you are dead my dear friend" Edit: it is only when she has hearing aid on
I like how you say edit, but the message wasn't edited
