Happy Bible I also had people say you need help and I say no and they say are you sure are you sure? Lately we might come back is, I’m pretty sure I’m sure.

Just get frustrating I mean it can’t be all on me just to perfectly explain things all the time although I’m working on it. But I think next time I go to a restaurant if I have the energy and could give a care, I’ll say OK hey guys, when we order let’s go around the table and it will be my turn to order when I hear the last person in the circle. But it should be obvious you would think that I would look a little blind to the waiter? I don’t know. And really there isn’t that much of an awkward silence. But I’m learning how to be patient and fit in with the sided world, honestly, I don’t think as much about looks and beauty, and so it is nice to have help with figuring out what we are going to have me wear to an event as my dad says, But it’s give and take. I know that much like he has to understand what I can do and I’ve got to be able to speak up. But if they do find out that all the poor girl is blind, I mean, I don’t know if it would be the end of the world unless she’s working on her last table and it’s a bad day, but wow, I mean what a circle of events already. Anyway, like, there were a couple of victories. It was nice sometimes they would go around and then I’d say oh and here’s what I’ll have please. And I think you guys that’s happening more than once. Like maybe I’m not making myself clear enough here to you guys, but there are times when we go around and the last person in the circle to my left will be ordering and then I’ll say oh and here’s what I’ll have. In fact, I think one time they said oh it’s not your turn yet, and we laughed or tried to, which was really Relieving. Better than nothing. The opposite.

This is kind of what I take issue with is we’re told to advocate and advocate and then when we do a lot of people say well the parents know best or well. They’re just trying to help. I recently had this happen with a visually, impaired friend. She practically pushed me on and off the bus And I said why are you doing that and she said they don’t wait for disabled people so you have to hurry so the bus can leave. And I said they should consider us or you should be more considerate and stop pushing me around please and she said oh my goodness I’m just trying to help. And who can argue with help? My issue I guess is with parents in general like these same parents who are saying what are you having publicly in front of the whole family table and then everyone’s turning to me, these people are also saying someone just congratulated you what do you say? Or you say thank you. Or they did a nice thing for you. You need to tip them. Which the final remark can be attributed to blindness and cited People, but I think I can choose what to do and say for myself.

Lol one thing that’s sort of funny now is that I used to ask my mom something like where’s my backpack? I can’t find it. She go lol girl, it’s where you left it. Mom’s for you.

Yeah, Artemis and mini situation I’m in the key is if I’m in the mood which kind of feels like I’m choosing emotional or anything else I know, but like really, in the moment, sometimes if an elderly lady takes my hand and says oh pumpkin sweetie honey, let me help you across the street, in that moment out of the kindness of my heart. I’m like she’s so sweet. I’m tired if she helps me safely why not? But if I’m being a tyrant, you better watch out everybody lol I mean I’m sort of kidding, but you know it’s hard sometimes

I definitely don’t think these are toxic; in particular, the latter; that’s so frustrating.

Oh my goodness, I agree 100% with everything that you just said. All of that stuff has happened to me as well. It's so frustrating sometimes.
