I'd rather be blind from birth so it'd be normal for me
Lol. Do you have a braille Reddit app or use a screen reader. If Braille do you feel dirty when you feel a dickbutt?

Anecdotally, a friend went fully blind at 36 in the mid-80s from eye drops tampered with lye. It sucked in ways I could never have imagined. Her whole world fell apart.
However, her learning to navigate the world and getting visually oriented descriptions from others was easier because she had a preexisting frame of reference. We’ve had this discussion numerous times and she was always thankful she had sight for as long as she did.
as if they’re cursed
Boy I bet people with vision problems wouldn't want to be called "cursed".
But hey that is operating from a position of compassion and empathy rather than the pose the question took.
