I love Tommy's attitude on life.
Same, he doesn't let his blind state depress or upset him. He just rolls with it, and is able to joke about it.
I can't like this comment enough ^u^
And yet, feminists can't take a simple "woman-kitchen" joke.
Dude, your channel is awesome
Jackie Skillet they're funny when they upset people.
he's so happy it's inspiring.
Also sick Grant Green remix.
Pizaz0 he is he makes me look at my sight loss in a positive way would love to meet him in person but I live in UK little far to meet for coffee lol
Maybe you could skype/call if traveling isn't on your list? :)
Im a chloroplast
Just close your eyes then. It cures depression.
Worst Things About Being Blind
1. Can't see.
HA! You actually said it in the video. lol
*yawns*
I laughed when he said that, I thought that was hilarious
I was watching this on my break at work and literally laughed out loud. Other people around me were looking at me a little strange.
No, the worst thing about being Blind is the SIGHTED. I am blind, brain, and I KNOW. I do Cross Fit and everything in total black, becoming blind made me a better man. I laugh and enjoy life to the best
Holy crap this guy's pure happiness is contagious! :D
Im a chloroplast
Chloroplast ✔ are you sure about that?
More than covid 19.
@@chloroplast8611 mitochondria is the powerhouse of the cell can you confirm
Gives blind date a whole new meaning lol
Hqhahah
Visually impaired date
I wish everyone could love life as much as tommy
*Inadvertently wishes blindness upon the entire human race*
Some of the happiest seeming people are actually dead inside and wishing someone would reach out and be there for them.
Laura Bourne I love how joyful he is
He Is Very Joyful!!😊😎
@@chilling_at_pontiff You wouldnt want to wish that......
Hey, don't worry, Tommy. I bump into stuff all the time, and I can see!
Me too :-)
Walls love to jump out in front of me. Damn walls.
Was just gonna say the exact same thing, sometimes you'll be looking directly at the thing and still bonk your head on it
#wetheclumsy
LOLOLOLOLOLOL SAME
2:46 I find it really intriguing that even though you have no sight, or any concept of vision, you were still self-conscious about how you looked. That's interesting to me.
i agree! it's so odd
These jokes are too good, he's probably reading off a script
So? Lol
hahah nice one.
+Spyroxs P I guess that one went over your head.
+Spyroxs P did you not get the joke?
Hahahahah! I laughed so hard to your comment :D
This guy is amazing. Such an inspiration for life!
Tommy, I love your sense of humor. That laugh you have is just infectious, and I start laughing along with you. Even if I'm in a bad mood. Thank you for that.
Each video I watch I have more and more respect. Such an amazing strong man.
Tommy Edison, I thank you. You bring so much light into the world.
I see what you've done hehe
I swear I almost just subscribe to hear his laughter, I love it!!
I have kind of an interesting question, since you were blind from birth you have never seen anything in the world. I just wonder how that alters how you form memories and "see" things in your mind. Its interesting because we look at things and associate them with other things so when we aren't actively looking at them we can "imagine" them. It would be interesting to know how he "imagines" things.
i think over sound instead of image. or shape ... or both
I guess with all of the other senses, like when you can smell a certain perfume or mama's lasagne and it takes you back to when you were a kid :)
It's not that hard to imagine actually. Just close your eyes for 20 minutes and try to do some stuff, talk to your friend, take a shower, DO NOT open your eyes for entirety of that 20 minutes. And there you go, your own memory deprived of visual impressions.
@@IfYouMeetAWolf for a sec i thought that was gon be an enmien quoute
@@Mureirsa Arms are sweaty, mom's spaghetti
This man is the damn funniest!!! 'They don't know what to call me...how bout Tommy?' Hahaha love you and your channel!
DementorsKiss The worst thing about being blind is not having any friends to talk about experience with them or they treat you like crap
What I mean is you just yours lonely you can't be that hard to be friends with anyone and it's just it's a sad life we have to go around at the world will not stop for you and feel sorry for you even if you die I will still be well do you know the world
I bump my leg on furniture all the time. haha.
I love your sense of humour so much - "The worst thing about being blind - I can't see".
I know. He is absolutely HILARIOUS!
This dudes laugh always cheers me up lmao, love to hear it.
Tommy cheers me up so much every time I watch his videos!
same :) Makes me smile!
Me too, he has such positive vibes!!
Tommy is so inspirational! He always smiles and has a nice sense of humor, even though he's blind.
i love it when he smiles , he's so kindhearted
I love your attitude dude, it's so refreshing in a world of shit.
This guys sense of humor really brings a smile to my face.
love this guy, always smiling and laughing. seems like a real kind guy
I really would love to hang out with tommy some time. He seems like a person I could become friends with :D
Same here, so sweet and friendly!
Pull up in your car and offer him a ride.
You don't just smile with your mouth. Your whole face smiles Tommy. And that's the best thing about you. I only wish you could see that.
this dude is fucking great
He makes me so happy with his positivity, he's so chipper.
Tom's humour is so awesome! :D
What I love about you, is how amazingly positive you are! You are too funny and bring light into every video you make. Thanks for that Tommy!
love you Tommy
i think you are really interesting...
+Esmee Donders just in a fan-kind of way, not like... "marry"... and stuf...
tommy can’t experience most of the beautiful things in life yet he is happier than most people who can
Tommy we just love your great attitude and inspirational spirit 🥰❤️! You’re the best.
i felt that thing about the driver's license so hard. i have epilepsy and bc i still get seizures frequently i'm (obviously) not allowed to get a license. and while i still might be able to get one someday i still feel left out since all my friends and classmates are getting their license, and even my cousin who's just as old as me is getting hers soon. i'm glad you're still able to find positive things about being blind :)
His laugh gives me hope.
you inspire me. i get bullied everyday because im emo but when i watch your videos and i see how happy you are and you stay positive even though you cant see and you have helped me with my anxiety and iv learned to smile more because of you. so i just want to say thank you
Bullies bully,because they're insecure, feel powerless; etc. So they bully,because they feel powerful,but none of these things make it right. Ignore them/walk away,tell an adult you trust, have your school sign an antibully pledge, have your teachers & principal teach the bully empathy & to think critically; etc.
I just stumbled on your channel and I'm in love. You're so enjoyable to watch. I'm laughing with you. You have such a lovely spirit. You are such a genuine soul ❤️
Tommy just makes me happy. i have chronic depression and anxiety but seeing his videos always makes me feel better. Tommy was born blind he's never seen anything. he missed out on life but he finds himself so happy. his smile and laugh fill me with hope and tell me that I can make it. thank you tommy, for everything you do
In a world...Where everyone can see.....
i cant..😅😅😅😅
Pure majesty. That is a genuinely happy man. Tommy is an excelent role model.
I already love him, I just subscribed, I found him because he was in a Vsauce video
Which video?
Your personality and attitude use never fail to make me smile. You're an amazing human being, Tommy!! I wish more people were as incredible and positive as you...the world would be a better place
That getting into strangers' cars, and just having to trust strangers in general seems really risky.
But hey, you've never been murdered ;)
Seems even scarier though when you're young and a girl,
PoisonTheOgres Most violent crime like murder is mostly male on male.
ƐƖєgαηт OωƖ And most rape? Or 'just' sexual assault?
People with disabilities are victims of that very often. They are vulnerable. Doesn't even matter if you're male or female.
Kuba Garczynski lol I'm anti-feminism but Jesus dude calm down. You seem easily offended
Max Jacobs im easily offended? We're literally talkinf about feminists rn
I would definitely injure myself if I was blind, i already walk into things and am super clumsy, love these videos. You're so inspiring.
how do you buy clothes and how do you match them to your looks? Do you have favourite colour or favourite hair color? i know one blind guy (simillar humour like you but younger) that said he wants to marry a blonde with blue eyes, funny he was born completely blind but he had such dream
How Blind People Choose Their Clothes ua-cam.com/video/upxt3qbPll0/v-deo.html
wait how did tommy reply to you? witch!
+Your face, it's Silleh tommy is blind. i dont think hes the one replying. he has a friend editing his videos and replying .
no shit sherlock
+mohamed nur I'm going to say braille keyboard 🙄
Tommy, how is it that even a video of you describing the worst parts of being blind makes me smile? You are one of a kind.
I love how Tommy always giggles to himself after he says a joke 😂❤️
What a great person. Don't even know what to say anymore after listening to him talk. Great inspiration to any listener of his.
Going on a blind date, lmfaoo
My goal in life is to be as happy as Tommy is. You're always such a positive guy, and that's really important. You always make me laugh and smile!
Have you ever been to one of those blind restaurants?
I love this mans optimistic attitude, how happy he is no matter what is inspiring
Tommy- when in doubt, wipe again! LMAo. You had me ROLLING!
So fun to have such a completely different perspective from your own on this platform.
how did you find out that you were blind?

+DaEpicGuy Braille keyboard
i don't think he controls the channel himself
+Abdullah Pervaiz of course he does he is a faker
This man really gives me a lot of hope. He is blind yet is always cracking jokes and being so positive. I understand it isn't all bad but if I were blind even at birth I would be really upset about it all the time. We take a lot of things for granted, like our sight. Watching these videos not only makes me greatful that I do have eyes that work, they don't work the best but I mean I'd take that over being blind. But also watching these videos gives me a lot of hope, how even when things seem terrible there is always something to smile about and enjoy. I hope one day this guy has the opportunity to maybe get a surgery and see the world, just because I mean even if he's okay with it that would be awesome. I just wish the best for him and I'm glad we have people like him in the world. He finds so much happiness in a world he can't even see and I love it!
Omg I love this guy Hahahahahah "u know hat the worst thing about being blind is, I can't see!"
Dude, I have been going through a rough time, and your just good natured attitude about everything has just been an beacon for me to stay sane. Thank you, man.
"Never know when to stop wiping, in the bathroom, you know" xD
Tickoman thats the real issue
Do you looking to your ass? To see if you’re clean or not?
Tommy I just want to let you know that I look up to you. When I'm feeling stressed or sad about school or other events in my life, I come to these videos and it gives me light, just for someone to make such fun out of the kind of situation you are in really is just amazing.
i'm not blind and still get lost at every airport i go to:'D
truly inspiring..got tears in my eyes.thanks for sharing
Did you hear about the lady who purposefully blinded herself?
what?
no
Yeah, said she always wanted to be blind
Yeah , she did it by like putting drain cleaner in her eyes
JackThirdEye dang :(
Words cannot explain how bad I feel for this man and all the blind people in the world
Twist: The first cane he used was actually blue. And everybody lied to him!!!
Jack Kraken o shit the cane might say something mean and be pink purple😂
Jack Kraken 😥😂
I love Tommy, he's the best. What a bright and shining soul. He just oozes good vibes!
I want to meet this guy and just give him the biggest hug 😍 He's just such a nice genuine person 😀 xx
too bad he could never get to appreciate your finger nail art
Why does he make me smile? I seriously think the fact he enjoys life without a crucial part of it. Thank you Tommy❤
Hey Tommy. next time instead of asking your date you could ask your server to guide you to the washroom. I feel like that would be less awkward hahaha.
It's funny you say that, I have recently done that and it is a ton less awkward. I wish Ihad thought of it sooner.
+TommyEdisonXP How do you reply? Or is it someone else replying?
He did a video about that actually.
Man. You have such a radiating personality, it's crazy. I found this channel on a whim of research and now can't stop watching. You're amazing, just felt the need to say it.
Do a video where you explain how it is being black
Don't you mean blind?
Julianna Diamond no
HAHAHA too good :'D YES!
do you think his parents know?
hahahhahaha
I love your videos. When I grew up I had a grandmother that was blind. it was around the time between 6 and 9 years old, and It took me a while to BELIEVE or comprehend if you will that she couldn't see. I loved her much and miss her. Your stories bring back so many great memories of her. She had a great sense of humor, like you do. She just played the cards she was dealt....but popped up that Joker whenever possible. Love you Tommy.
Is it hard for you to cook or cut up your food as a blind person?
.
It really makes me happy to see you smiling in all of your videos. You help me get some of my positivity back with that smile!
Reminds me of Brian Reagan :P The stand up comedian.
I really appreciate how you take it so lightly and you laugh through it. You're an amazing person, Tom.
I love this guy's attitude :)
I know things, Remember? I love his attitude too. His positivity is infectious.
Also I’m having ASOTM flashbacks.
Dude, this guy has such a positive attitude, LOVE IT!!
He's a beautiful person.
i love this guys attitude on life. he is so happy and full of joy. it's really inspiring.
God I love this guy
Honestly I’ve been kinda awkward around people with disabilities mostly with seeing them acting funny or something but I realize now they’re just normal people with a disability. And fun and all of it. This guy laughs, he cheers me up he has fun talking about expirences. He’s happy to be alive and who he is. That’s something you don’t see very often in people especially people who’ve been hurt so badly that can’t do anything anymore or any of it.
My mom had gotten a rare disease ALS and it was horrible how she was paralyzed and such but she was still herself trying her best to enjoy life, have some laughs and be herself.
Thankyou tommy for having such a good outlook on life seeing without seeing. You understand there’s more to life than just seeing. It’s a journey of every life.
Can’t wait to bing watch more videos you’ve done. Heh!
he looks and dresses better than some people who aren't blind
I love his smile! The happiness is so contagious!
Is blindness genetic, I'm just wondering because his nephew is blind too, and I was wondering if that was just a coincidence
Tommy's Blind Nephew - Crazy Coincidence ua-cam.com/video/eE4ATO28FNE/v-deo.html
+TommyEdisonXP thank you!
+If you don't like it, cool it's what it is. What??
You can also become blind from injury, or nerve damage.
Some conditions are genetic. Go to a professional, dont ask here.
i love tommy man, he's such a positive and optimistic person. i love how he sees the world, not literally, metaphorically obviously.
How do blind people use mobile phones? Do you use an old one and count the beeps? I guess I could google it
Just looked in accessibility on my phone and there is a voice over lol
You have such an enchanting personality. I don't have any blind friends or family... but these videos are just so insightful and I feel that they help me expand my understanding of the human experience. Thanks for making these videos, Tommy.
"In the bathroom, I never know when to stop wiping, you know...". Hilarious Tom, but use a videt to clean, and then paper only to dry. That's a lot more hygienic.
His positivity, even on the odd stuff, is an awesome thing.
Would you ever get a bionic eye?
Admiring your attitude, makes me appreciate things more.
You know who's the most beautiful person on earth?
Read the the first word :) have a great day!
Iam blind can u just tell me
awwww, that was sweet :)
***** how would that be an insult?
***** oh :(
+JessaJay CONGRATS ON YOUR 5k subscribers! :)
Your positivity inspires me, Tommy.
I like this guy he is good man:)
You're such a positive ray of light :) it's so nice to see someone so happy
i think the actual worst thing is not being able to watch porn
love you're positive attitude tommy i know you cant see this but you are an inspiration
Tommy as a dad.
His kid: Ughhh dad! You're so annoying.
Tommy: Yes, I can SEE that.
*awkward pause of silence*
His kid: Really... dad?
Tommy: Hehehehehehe clean your room
