Yes this is also what happened to me. My mother was a perfectionist! Also, bad TVI who was a perfectionist. On top of chronic migraines that presented in adult hood. So yay for me!
You said part of what I wanted to say, thanks! TO try and make a long story very short, I too have a very overprotevtive mother. I'm in the process of trying to deal with that through therapy, but in the end, I think I'm just going to have to break off contact, which is what I did in 2015 for a bit.
Just fyi, I would recommend posting in r/blind, for a better community, and not here, since there's already so much death crap in the comments, not what a parent looking for advice came to see! Oh, sorry mods if this isn't allowed.
I'm not in support of that kind of thing, and believes anyone who is should in fact, take a long walk off a non-existent pier! Your just advocating for ableism if you support that kind of thing.
Can confirm, I do this all the time lol. The crashing into furneture thing hah. I think it's too much fun! Also, I wouldn't want too much sound around me. I'm already aversive to overly loud, overly changing sounds. They tend to set off my migraines.
Your lucky! I never got to climb trees until I was in my late 20s because apparently it was something, for some reason, I just couldn't do. Skydiving though was cool! I'm not kidding.
Well I didn't do this automatically, that's for sure. It was something my mother saw on TV and said you should start doing that, I was like uh no that's weird.
I'm so not curious about neuralink! Probably because in the past my parents have literally wanted something like this for me. I do not live with them now, but i have a feeling if they hear about it, it's something they're going to really, really push me to try!
Well there are some things I would not prefer to say to you publicly. I'm also blind, I do agree with the things the other person said. I did not have a good experience in school growing up, and I do not want to put that on a public forum. If you want to provide a way I can get in contact with you, so that we can exchange messages, I can explain things about that. If not that's cool. Also, I'm just leavin it at I did not have a good experience here for multiple reasons, not the least of which my story is way, way too long to tell!
I really do not like cookie consent popups! I've installed extensions to try and block them, oh and you know what else I try and block? Those AI overlays that say they're trying to make the web more accessible. Because they really aren't doing the thing they say they're supposed to be doing.
I'm a screen reader user. It's similar for me, accept if I really wanted to navigate around the ads I suppose i could. However i do have chronic migraines, so that reduces my ability to care about ads. Or X embeds, Or facebook sharing widgets. So no, it isn't just an ad thing, it's a let's not take a whole bunch of energy to navigate a page thing.
I just had to login to say if you trust AI for that your stupid! I mean I'm half being sarcastic, but really? I would never participate in this kind of research.
