text: why do people automaticaly assume things about me when they don't know me from adam? i wish i could elaberate on this, but i can't think of an example right off the top of my head right now. for some reason nobody gives me a changes and wants to take the time to know all the facts first. oh! here is an example! - this subject comes up without fail no matter what i do: i'll say to the man or woman/friend/boyfriend or whoever that i do not drive and they'll ask me why and i'll say that it's because i am vissually impaired and they'll automatically say "well why can't you just get glasses or get lazer surgery". well, my eyesite can not be corrected like magic. i have perminant eye damage. take it or leave it. ...oh shoot, sorry, i'm just frustrated and am wurried that i am doomed if tha is going to be the topic with everyone i mean. i perfer not to talk about it and try not to bring it up and dodge it etc, but nothing works. any thoughts?...there are other things that i wish i could dodge around too. not just my eyesite. you know people do assume things about a person, when they first look at them. if they have time to get to know you they will learn the real you. and you are worth getting to know! i am sorry about your eye sight. i will have to have surgery on my eye when a growth gets to a certain size and i am not looking forward to it. i will have faith that all will be well.  i really think wading through is better than dodging problems. when that's done it is resolved instead of put off. the best of luck.
