Using mass transit going to visit friends family church or a doctors employment or education. Whatever we do we are always proving ourselves in some form or fashion. As Brian people. That's just life. A Brian person. So I'm sorry people maybe cut that some thought if you may be uncomfortable with that but so be it. If we spend time worrying about others perception of us and try to please others and what their police are we would never be able to leave the lies we want. Life is too short.

>> 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.
