[il-talk] Proving your blindness

[Lin H.]

Yes!  Sometimes I get annoyed when people say, "can you do this"?  Or if I'm 
already doing it, and they say, you need help?    Like my 17 year old niece 
is always worried that I might drop something, if I'm carrying something or 
whatever.  I say, I can do it!  Don't worry!    Linda

Let me say it a different way. I'm sure along the line, you've all been told 
by someone that you spend a lot of time trying to prove yourself because of 
your blindness. I tend to react negatively when I hear this statement. And 
I'm wondering how others may react, positively or negatively? Do you ever 
feel like proving yourself or that you can do things gets in the way of 
living your life for being yourself? Thoughts? This could start a good 
discussion.
