Same here.
My family is mainly sighted, and they know what i'm capable of, and they behave normally around me

The same here with my family, except for the fact that they seem to have a hard time to believe and trust me if I mention something they've never heard off; for instance, something new about computers or just anything. They rather prefer to trust sighted people instead of blind people.
Could it be that sighted persons may be smarter than blind persons?

They may thnk so, but in some cases it's the opposite, smles!

Some family members don't treat a person right even if you are blind. That can happen to a sighted person as well because they are different from the rest. For me, I'd just want a world where most or all people get along. That would be good enough.

Oh sure.
No dramas, no in equalities, and no parents using the fact that you're blind to get as much money from the government as possible

For me, I guess just the random stares that other people give me, or better is when some kid asks a parent "hey Mom, what's wrong with his eyes?".
Other than that, I just hang.
Oh, right, hanging?
I've been on roller coasters a-plenty:
Montu, Python, Kumba, Guazi (done in 2 separate parts (one is the head of a lion, the other's the body of a tiger) and at 1 or 2 points during the ride they almost meet.), Scorpion;
Yup? I've gotten my adrenaline junky fix, lol.

I hate when people tell me what do do when I know the environment I am in. Like, sometimes when I'm at someone else's house, that I know the layout, and someone else is there, and they don't know how to deal with a blind person, they tell me to turn right, when I know, and where things are when I know where they are, or they say I can't walk, because I am going to bump into something. But that is the purpose of a cane, right? I think so...
Anything can work. Just decide how much, or what you would like to subject for said thing to work.

O yes. I can relate to this. I'm sure I'm not the only one.

Well there are a lot of factors which play a role. I'd find it particularly tricky to date a sighted person, with all the weird habits I have, like rocking.

37 z 97: danielsalatek

well, in the czech republic, it's difficult, because many girls think, that as we, blind people, that we are ghosts from the tower, and when they check, that i'm blind, they'll turn a backride.

Well, but you can date a blind person and if you get on well and are relatively independent, in my experience, you can be happy. Fortunately, most of my family treat me as they ought to, except for two of my cousins. The thing is, we see each other very seldom and they can't put it out of their mind I'm not a little kid any more. I don't like them very much because we hardly have mutual interests anyway, but it doesn't really build up my self-esteem to be considered some strange being. It's not enough for them that I moved out from my parent's flat, that I can take care of myself to a great extent and that I attended better schools than them. What I find funny is that when I meet their partners, they somehow don't seem to have problems talking to me.

I also can't stand the attitude when an employer says: "Unfortunately, our firm is not adapted to a blind person's needs". Not that they ask what the needs are or would like to listen to what I have to say.

you're right... but, the czech girls are the most beautiful in the world, but anyway, they're the most stupid in the world, i say it, because i like traveling and they often talk about the last fashion and so on.
