[Blindtlk] Questions concerning how people look like

[Ray Foret jr]

Humberto,

In your message, with respect to your feeling your girlfriend's face, you say, in part:

	" I've done that once with my girlfriend. A trusted adult was guiding us, and we didn't have any problems."

	Huh?  Why would you two need guidence in feeling each others faces?  If she didn't mind you feeling her face, well, why would you need careful guidence?  Just take your hand and run it over her face.  I am a little disturbed by something else that seems to happen in both your messages.  You seem to be very much afraid of making any mistakes or doing something wrong.  Almost as if you think you're going to be punished or struck with thunder and lightining if you make an enozent mistake about something or other.  From the tone of your message, I gather that you are newly blinded; and, it has only been recently that you lost your sight.  Is this correct?

A slight sense of insecurity seems to be showing up in your messages which would seem to suggest that you've got some very negative notions about blindness that you need to get rid of.  Here's a good starting point:
