Hi Ana,
I completely disagree with Carly. You are not deviant, you are different; we
are all in some way. And your differences are to be celebrated, and you need
to surround yourself by people who can learn from them.

Evening, Ana,
You must be experiencing the familiar isolation us wearers of deviant
identities (not normal) have to sport as part of being deviant.
Please don't get inflamed by the word deviant for, all it means is
simply that we are not normal, aren't part of Them And, if you huddle
together with others whose shade of deviance differs from your's, are
socially rejected for other reasons having to do with eyesight (or
lack there of), upon penetrating new social circles you might
appreciate an absolutely necessary get-to -know-you period in which
Ol'Sighty, as many of us totals conceptualize the majority can
observe you enough to feel relaxed and not stand-offish. Remember,
you might wanna show that, in fact, you are just like Ol'Sighty
except you don't take in your environmental cues the same way they
do, via an ocular input, but it is not for a lack of seeing! You may
have yet to identify how it is that you uncover a little slice of
personal meaning in the world, that you can, and do" see," just
differently. Keep us posted on your evolving journey,of self discovery..
Car
