[BlindTlk] visually impaired people not caring about personal hygiene..

[Sherry Gomes]

That is certainly not true about me, not any of the blind people I know or have known over the years. My mom taught me to match colors, to bathe/shower and to care how I look, for my own sake. I worked for six years at a store in an upscale chain which would never had hired someone who couldn't have good hygiene, dress well, do makeup and so forth. It's also important health wise to keep clean and have good hygiene. It's important for mental health too and self-respect.

Hi all,
I was complaining to a sighted family friend about how my parents bugging me about showering etc. and she said that from what she's heard it's common for visually impaired people to not care about their appearance; is this true? I don't want any greef/judgement only an answer to my question; I have very oily hair but I've been known to go more then a week without showering simply because I hardly ever go anywhere and so I really don't care what I look like/if I smell. Look forward to your answers, Madison
