"Just because somebody carries it well doesn't mean it isn't heavy." 🥇 I have no idea who said/penned this quote, but I love it. We all struggle with something - sometimes you can tell when a person is struggling, sometimes you can't depending on how well they carry themselves despite the weight of their challenges. Every person is different.

My mom told me a story once that when speaking to a blind person, someone asked them what they could see and if they just saw blackness. The man responded by saying, "What can you see out of your elbow?" and when the person said nothing, they said "That's what I see out of my eyes." I'm not sure who that story came from exactly, but it really stuck with me when I heard it as a kid!

Hehe, remember though, there are people who are still legally blind even with glasses. Glasses just help correct as much vision as possible. I'm not legally blind but am partially blind. My corrected vision is 20/160 and 20/140. Thus where I am confused now about if I'm part of the blind community or not...

I've seen blind people on the subway with the stick and glasses and whole 9 yards, but I've also had a man accidentally nudge me a bit on a subway car and then ask what stop we're at, and I only realized he was blind when I looked at him to respond and saw he wasn't quite making eye contact. (Then I also felt stupid when he said thank you and as usual I just went mhm and nodded so he was like what?). I'm always astounded by people who can navigate non-accessible areas alone-- especially the chaotic nyc subway system! When I get lost my main thing is always just "read the signs" so I can't imagine not having those visual cues and not always being completely lost, and in addition having an invisible disability so people aren't inclined to help or be kinder to you (in the sense that a blind person with a walking stick usually gets a perimeter of people giving them space to walk comfortably without bumping into them, etc.)

My mom is legally blind, she is somewhat on the beginning of the blind community. For this reason she does not use a cane, so when she bumps into people and she says ‘sorry, I have low vision’ the response she gets the most is ‘ HAVE YOU EVER TRYED GOING TO THE EYE DOCTOR?’ ... like whaaat? No thank you, really, NEVER thought of that. By the way I love your content so very much, and your will to raise awareness on the community and on misconceptions. ❤️

Considering that she is bumping into things, has she considered using a cane for her safety? I feel like whether or not you use a cane doesn't need to be dependent on how much you are "in" the community, but rather your own needs.

@@jaydashnine Sometimes people need to come to terms with their needs tho. It took 2 years of living on my own and several near miss accidents crossing the street to realize “ ok maybe I go need a blind cane” because I’m so used to being in the sighted community even tho I’m low vision. It’s this weird purgatory of “ I can see but I can’t see" My cane is mostly for show because people don’t understand how my eyes work. I look like I can see and I act like can see because I can see but still can’t see. The most irritating thing with my cane is when I’m around people I’ve known for years and either think I’m faking or think my vision is getting worse. And any questions I have are directed towards my friend (who after years of explanation gets it because the only difference from then and now is I have a stick I can whack him with if I get annoyed lol) fortunately he has been a wonderful advocate for me and just tells them “she’s right here you can ask her yourself”

I had a cousin who was born blind who would feel faces, and when I was little my mom made me let her feel my face. It did freak me out since I was so young and couldn’t understand, but now I know that was just her way of finding out what I looked like and she probably only did it because I was a family member. She has since passed 💔 but that was my first memory of encountering a blind person so for a long time I assumed every blind person felt Faces, so thank you Molly for always educating people like me who may have misconceptions about the community.

Just because she educates us via KZbin videos doesn't mean she doesn't get angry at the rudeness or disrespect people give her. Anger is a natural and healthy thing - it's good that she chooses to make educational content on the internet, but that doesn't mean she educates every person who interacts with her, and it doesn't mean she doesn't get angry about the ableism, either.

I mean, I never understood heightened sense in a sense that you genetically or physically have better sense than a sighted person does, but rather that your other senses are more trained than mine for example to make up for the lack of sight. I can not read braille, nor could I even make out the amount and shape of dots by just touching it. With enough training I surely could. I also cannot necessarily tell the difference between people by their smell, but the fact that I can in some cases with stronger smells proves that I could if I trained it. But as I simply never need it because I can tell the difference between people by the looks and letters by their shape. Apart from sight we have the same set of senses, just that you train them more to work around the lack of sight

I’m an autistic fan, and our top 5 stereotypes are: 1.) We’re nonverbal 2.) If we’re not nonverbal, we scream all of the time 3.) We flap our hands 4.) We have severe noise sensitivity 5.) We fidget all of the time The first one is only severely low functioning autistic people, the second is also low functioning and it’s also pretty severe, as is the third one, the fourth and fifth ones are true for most autistic people, but not for all, so there are people on the spectrum that don’t have noise sensitivity, and fidget, but it’s uncommon. The difference between the autism spectrum and the blindness spectrum, is that the blindness spectrum would be like a very flat area, while the autism spectrum would be a very mountainous area.

I knew what the problem was, I wasn’t getting enough oxygen(sure enough once I got on my ventilator and was getting oxygen to my brain my sight returned- also I have slight visual impairment the eye that went black is the weakest) . ANYWAY all I saw was blackness out of that eye. I FREAKED out. That had never happened before I was so scared, luckily i was able to resolve it. Also as I’m typing this I keep closing one eye and I do see a color I just can’t describe it. It’s like grey and tan but it’s not.

Could you do a video on how to be most helpful to a blind person who needs assistance? There are blind students at my college campus and in my neighborhood. I would like to learn to be helpful without being rude or getting in their way. I have been approached for directions more than once and each time I felt that I was less helpful than I could have been. For example, is it better to offer to take someone all the way to their destination or does that come across as pushy? Is it rude to touch someone to help guide them or is it better to allow the blind person to find my arm on their own? Obviously some of this is individual to each person, but I'm wondering if you can speak about this.

The answer to these questions is pretty much always ask. If they want or need to be touched to be guided they'll say so, but it's probably not needed. A verbal warning in cases of trip hazard is likely sufficient. You'd be surprised at how effective the ears are at locating people and things in space.

I have a friend from Estonia who has the absolute zero vision, not seeing anything at all. Our discussions about his experiences have been very interesting and have slayed most of my misconceptions about blindness. I actually found your channel before I met this guy, and eventually ended up recommending your channel to him. He found it intersting listening to someone who is closer to his level of blindness than most other people and he ended up thanking me for the recommendation. I love the work you do for the blind community, while also really enjoying the videos of you just being you. As a person on the autism spectrum, I am very used to misconceptions flying around constantly, especially since I am very non-stereotypical for that spectrum. Thank you for everything that you do Molly. I am so happy that I found this channel

There's some person on Reddit with a deleted account who explains true blindness perfectly; Complete nothingness. It's like not experiencing a tail you don't have. When you look at an object, you'll be able to find the edges of your vision. At some point, you can't look at the drawer to your left for example, because your eyes simply aren't pointed at it for light to come in. Anything 'beyond' these edges of your vision, is nothing - your brain may fill it in a bit but it isn't black. You don't see black beyond the edges of your vision, do you? Exactly. People born blind don't have vision at all so all they experience is what we would experience beyond the edges of our vision: Not. We wouldn't, we don't experience it at all.

When I close my eyes it's dark with random spots or funky 'images', which is probably why people think blind people just see darkness.

Thank you for busting these myths, Molly! To add to what you said about being legally blind (I’m an ophthalmic assistant), a person’s best corrected vision in their BEST eye needs to be 20/200 or higher to be considered legally blind. I have many patients whose vision is 20/200 or higher in one eye, but their vision in the other eye may be a perfect 20/20. Also, a person can be considered legally blind if their central visual acuity is no more than 20 degrees (in other words, they have no peripheral vision).

I myself am a fire performer, play harp and piano as well as taught myself how to sew. Everything I’ve learned I’ve taught myself despite having ROP. And out of all the fantastic comments I received from Disabled and nondisabled people, on my birthday someone comments “then how did you read this post?” And I won’t lie, I let it be known that this wasn’t something I was going to let slide. Not only is it hard to tell if someone’s just being a troll online but it also made me feel like EVERYTHING I’d said went completely ignored. So trust me I feel this whole damn video deep within my soul.

@@JessicaSmith-sc7vc That's right. We can see color because of our cone cells (or cones), these are "activated" with light, when we close our eyes the light is blocked so our eyes cannot see any colors. Since our eyes are functioning, they never actually stop seeing so we see darkness (or black as we all say) as our rod cells (which work with dim light) are the only ones "working" at that moment. The best way I could comprehend it for myself was closing an eye while still focusing my other eye on an object, I see nothing with my closed eye. Trying to see through the back of your head as the last person commented is also a good way to put it.

Hi Molly! Just now when you were describing not seeing black and used your hand at the back your head as a prop - made me think of Neverending Story, the book. I found this piece in it (below), but I think it's a great enough book to listen to :) I'm 29, still think it's awesome. Here goes the quote “Something has happened in Moldymoor,” said the will-o’-the-wisp haltingly, “something impossible to understand. Actually, it’s still happening. It’s hard to describe-the way it began was-well, in the east of our country there’s a lake- that is, there was a lake-Lake Foamingbroth we called it. Well, the way it began was like this. One day Lake Foamingbroth wasn’t there anymore-it was gone. See?” “You mean it dried up?” Gluckuk inquired. “No,” said the will-o’-the-wisp. “Then there’d be a dried-up lake. But there isn’t. Where the lake used to be there’s nothing-absolutely nothing. Now do you see?” “A hole?” the rock chewer grunted. “No, not a hole,” said the will-o’-the-wisp despairingly. “A hole, after all, is something. This is nothing at all.” The three other messengers exchanged glances. “What-hoo-does this nothing look like?” asked the night-hob. “That’s just what’s so hard to describe,” said the will-o’-the-wisp unhappily. “It doesn’t look like anything. It’s-it’s like-oh, there’s no word for it.” “Maybe,” the tiny suggested, “when you look at the place, it’s as if you were blind.” The will-o’-the-wisp stared openmouthed. “Exactly!” it cried. “But where-I mean how-I mean, have you had the same. ..?” “Wait a minute,” the rock chewer crackled. “Was it only this one place?” “At first, yes,” the will-o’-the-wisp explained. “That is, the place got bigger little by little. And then all of a sudden Foggle, the father of the frogs, who lived in Lake Foamingbroth with his family, was gone too. Some of the inhabitants started running away. But little by little the same thing happened to other parts of Moldymoor. It usually started with just a little chunk, no bigger than a partridge egg. But then these chunks got bigger and bigger. If somebody put his foot into one of them by mistake, the foot-or hand-or whatever else he put in-would be gone too. It didn’t hurt-it was just that a part of whoever it was would be missing

Because I can understand why you'd say that when you're focusing through the eye that can see. But when I focus through the eye that's closed, I see black. That's not "seeing nothing", that's just you not paying attention to what that eye is seeing.

5:24 So I’m legally blind, and actually, I had this one time in grade 4 when I was coming back from speech therapy, and I was wearing thick rubber gloves. Don’t ask me why, I just was. Maybe it was cold, idk. I walked into the classroom, which had no windows, by the way, and the lights were off because my teacher had the projector on. It was near the start of the school year, so I wasn’t comfortable enough with asking her to turn on the light. So I just walked into the room with my improper bumper hands, and after waddling forward a few steps, I felt something. Being a curious little 9-year-old, I moved my hands around it, wondering what it could be. Remember, I had gloves on, so I couldn’t feel the texture of what I was touching. Then I heard my friend’s voice: “Zara, you’re feeling my face.” So yeah that was funny and embarrassing. A few people giggled but not in a mean way. Also, since that was the school year that COVID hit and we didn’t have that much time in person, it’s probably one of my fondest memories from that year, though the friend whose face I was feeling doesn’t remember it at all. This was a complete accident, by the way. BLIND/LEGALLY BLIND PEOPLE DO NOT FEEL EACH OTHER’S FACES (at least not intentionally lol)

You’re absolutely right, it’s very normal for partners to have a hand on each other’s face. It’s like a way of showing affection

I’m sighted and I just started watching the show “In The Dark.” A murder mystery where a blind girl finds her friend dead, but when his body disappears nobody believes her because she didn’t technically ‘’see the body’’ I thought: Oh, probably going to be a few misconceptions thrown in there. The main actress isn’t blind, so she can’t perfectly play a blind character. I didn’t really expect to have to pause the show a few minutes in, to rant to my family about how she wasn’t even using a blind-cane properly. Don’t you know how little research you have to do to know how to use a walking cane whilst playing a blind character bruh 😭 show-runners, what are you doing, man ?!

This misuse of the white cane is kinda part of her character. She struggles with her vision loss and hasn’t really come to accept it. You’d be surprised at how many people who are blind don’t use cane techniques 100% properly. It’s super cringey watching as someone who is visually impaired, who has gone through O&M training, and who is in an O&M program now taking classes under blindfold to teach these skills. If you really want to see some cringe worthy content, check out Apple. It’s a movie about a miniature guide horse... they got a lot wrong.

yeah, there's some missteps here and there. There's a ton the show gets right though. And that's something that really surprised me. In more than one moment I felt like the writers watched Molly's channel.

Ok the non-existence concept makes me think of what my daughter says when driving to a new city. She says that the streets, the land marks just don’t exist in her brain map. Not until she’s driven there and explored the town that it begins to ‘draw’ itself along with what you already knew. Hopefully that wasn’t too confusing. Hugs.

This was an interesting video. I stumbled upon it as a recommendation on my channel. I'm not blind, but have psychological disorders that are commonly misunderstood. (ex: Anxiety Disorder does NOT = Stress! It's actually the body's inability to handle stress appropriately; it's NOT stress in and of itself. "But you don't LOOK disabled!" Is freaking annoying!) It's eye opening to see how someone with a physical disability copes with the public. Definitely things I wasn't aware of about the blind community! Thanks for sharing.
