How my vision impairment changed the outlook and quality of my life. - General

[QUOTE=JDK721;23117322]is there any way to fix your vision like surgery?[/QUOTE] No way to do that. Chinese are developing fake retinas so we can have better vision but the blind people are first in line.

Have a heart OP. Also, you have the same glasses as I do bro.

Apparantly those glasses are very popular.

When i read you had liver cancer, i rated you a big heart.

Dude you look good! Fake retinas fuck yeah.

I guess there's more nice people and understanding people on the Internet. Thanks, guys. :love: Also thanks to those who said it, for saying I look nice.

I wish there was something I could do to make you feel better, but I guess all I can do is to wish you good luck and hope things fare better for you in the future.

Also, any advice on how to improve my social life, IE talking to my parents about it, etc.?

Tell them that its time that you start making friends. Tell them how you feel, and how their protective attitude has really tormented you, and that you really want to make friends. Just be honest.

[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;23116771]Oh, and did I tell you I contemplated suicide over all this? Yessiree Bob, I did.[/QUOTE] I hate people that say shit like this. 99% of them say it only to get attention and sympathy. No one cares if you have thought about killing yourself, it's only important when you actually put an honest effort into killing yourself. Everyone has in one point in there life thought about suicide, and if you haven't you probably aren't 'normal'.

Sucks. I've had shit before with my eyes, speaking of the devil I go to eye doctor Friday, but I digress. I've had shit before with 'em, but I'm only really farsighted, and I needed eye surgery. Nothing like the shit you got, just keep on goin' strong, and keep your head up.

[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;23116771]What's up, Facepunch, it's your friendly neighborhood "I am going to bitch/whine/moan about my life" thread.[/QUOTE] i [b]almost[/b] raged.

[QUOTE=Ergolicious;23117745]dick rating 1x[/QUOTE] Doesn't make it any less true. Almost everyone goes through shit. Almost everyone has a hard time in some form or the other. To say "Look at me, I have it rough, how do I get out of this?" is just pure whining. The way to improving your life when you're in situations like the OP is in is always staring you right in the face. It's staring the OP right in the face and he's too scared to man up and face it. The solution? Get over it. What is done is done. His eyes are fucked, he had cancer, and he was sheltered. Ain't no amount of counseling, talking, or whatever, will change any of that. He just has to reach into that vagina of his and pull out some balls. You can't be accepted by other people until you accept yourself. I have fucked up eyes and I'm an ugly son of a bitch, but I hold myself up in a room like I'm George Clooney. People look at me and see my eyes, but at the same time, they see that I don't give a shit about them. They see that when they say "Hurr durr which eye is looking at me hahahaha," I don't give a flying dick and just keep walking. People see that I am comfortable and confident in my own body and they respect me for that, which makes me successful socially.

[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;23116771]Long post[/QUOTE] I was hoping this thread would be about you getting impaired visually and it made you appreciate life more. Now I'm kinda downed. But anyways, Life is full of surprises. You beat cancer, you grew back your liver, anything can happen. Having a disability is only a disability if you let it be. Look at Stephen Hawkings. He's extremely impaired, yet he's one of the most renowned, smartest people in the world. He's gone to Space, and people respect him world-wide. Don't let your disability rule your life, because you can let it be a part of who you are, or just make it a small speed bump on your route to success.

I wish I knew I had to wear glasses earlier and told my mum so, I would have done better in school then.

I can't say I'm near as bad as OP is, but I too am near-sighted. I didn't even know how bad it was until we went to the doctor. I wouldn't be able to see my computer screen if I wasn't wearing glasses or had contacts in. If we went bowling I'd have to ask to see how many pins I'd knocked down because all I saw was a white blob at the end of the lane, and a bright blob on the bowling monitor. The worst part about that is that my passion is flying. Literally, I love it with every bit of my being. If I couldn't fly I don't know what I'd do. . . but if I don't get my vision fixed it'll probably be harder for me to get my license, get a job as any kind of pilot. . . .

OP looks like an older version of me. Seriously. Almost the same glasses. Same hair. Same facial structure. Are you me from the future? :v:

how big is your dick cause if its over at least 6 youre doing fine in life bro

[QUOTE=synth;23118205]how big is your dick cause if its over at least 6 youre doing fine in life bro[/QUOTE] I didn't ask for this shit.

5 is ok too i guess then goddamn

[QUOTE=AmericanInfantry;23117263][IMG]http://i50.tinypic.com/nwg10z.jpg[/IMG] Here is me. I don't smile in any pictures and I wasn't aware one was being taken, so....[/QUOTE] You're not bad-looking. Also, nice glasses bro, I have a pair that looks like those. [editline]04:55AM[/editline] [QUOTE=noobcake;23118190]OP looks like an older version of me. Seriously. Almost the same glasses. Same hair.

Rated you heart OP. I feel bad for you, but don't worry. Things will work out.

I mean, sure its sad, but dont wallow in you're on self pity by saying things like " thanks to all the people who have better lives than me"

[QUOTE=Ergolicious;23117745]dick rating 1x[/QUOTE] If you pity yourself you probably haven't got a good reason for someone else to do it.

Hey man, talk to your parents about the situation and get some help. Don't let your own subconcious do this to you. Good luck man.

As much as I'd like to say "I know how you feel", I couldn't possibly. Friendly advice in hopes to help you on your way to happy and sustainable life, don't be afraid to open up (regarding the girls' part), don't shun them. Eventually they will tire and you will regret you hadn't opened up more. Also, don't rush things. Give them time to acknowledge your character, it takes a while. Good luck with your life, OP :). Rated heart.

You write surprisingly well for someone who hasn't even entered grade 9 yet.
