Shared Audio - What do other blind people use as a coping strategy for interacting with people in various scenarios? I’m going to start with humour!

Well, of course humour is one way to cope effectively but for myself I’m very careful how I use it. I don’t like to make jokes at my expense or others, expense or entertain jokes like that. If I do entertain that for a while, I always make sure to apologize or clear things up. I have had so many experiences where I have felt overlooked and invalidated, which has made me. I guess a highly sensitive person but I know I can come out of it.

I'm with youPaul. I smoothe awkward interactions with the public through humor. I also use humor to cope with things in general. When I'm feeling down or needing to be distracted, I'm more apt to reach for a comedy of some sort before anything else. But really, It's just hard for me to imagine how you genuinely frown and laugh with true happiness at the same time. PS: your ramblio productions are fantastic. I wish yours didn't get burried beneath um ... what I find to be lesser content but perhaps that's one for the suggestion box. 🤡
