>>>>>>>>>>>As a tactile person myself, that is something that I have a

>>>>>>>>>>>with, it is not uncommon for me to reach out and want to hug
>>>>>>>>>>someone or
>>>>>>>>>>>look at their hairstyle, or place a hand gently on their arm or
>>>>>>>>>>shoulder
>>>>>>>>>>>when speaking to them. I also welcome warm handshakes, hugs,
>>>>>>>>>>>and
>>>>>>>>>>the

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As far as touching the arm of people, I've never done this.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> When do you do
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this? If you're talking with someone, it shouldn't be
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> necessary, since
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> they're participating in the conversation. I think we've
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> all
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> experienced a
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> time when we're talking to someone and learn that they

>>>>>>>>>>>>>> away. Now, if
>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you're referring to touching a person's arm to make sure
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> they're
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> still there
>>>>
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> as a way to insure that you still have their attention,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> that's
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> something
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> different. I have met sighted people who talk with their
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> hands
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> and touch my

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> arm or shoulder, for emphasis. So, that might not be so

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hi listers:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I'm Gerardo from Mexico; 31 years old and a Psychologist
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> working
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> on my own
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in my private practice.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Hopefully I'll be able to learn lots of great things from
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> you
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> guys,
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> especially of the NFB way of viewing and living with
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> blindness.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Now for my debut question: I've been blind all my life
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> due to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> RP; since I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> was a teenager I remember developing a habbit of touching
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> arm of the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> people constanly to be sure he/she was still there. I
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> continued
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to do this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> into adulthood until my family made the observation that
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> behavior isn't
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> seen well by the sighted only a few days ago. I'm still
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> shocked
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> by this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> observation to the point that now how to know if the
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> person is
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> still there?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Yes, the voice gives feedback but when people talk it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> feels as
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> if they're
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> there but aren't there. How have you coped with this
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> situation
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> in that you
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> have to get rid of the habbit before-mentioned? Surely it
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> has
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> happened to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> some of you?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> also when shaking hands with sighted people how to find
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the hand
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> to shake if
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> the sighted person doesn't take the initiative?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> As you can see I've still have lots of tips and tricks to
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> learn
>>>>>>>>>>>>>> about
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> blindness, thus my interest in joining the list.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> Gerardo
