I need to share what just happened to me.(self.Blind)
submitted by Emo_yt_bands
So I was walking home from school with my guide when a car drove past me and the passenger yelled “I LOVE YOU” I have no idea who that person is. It scared the living sh1t out of me and what that person doesn’t know is not only am I visually impaired but I have chronic vasovagal syncope. My guide is also medical alert. That means if my heart rate spikes, I faint with little warning. My dog sticks to my side and alerts me when my heart rate spikes so I can sit down until it goes down and he lays on top of me until my heart rate is down. Because my heart rate spiked so quickly, it was a matter of seconds before I fainted and while he tried to alert I was going down. I can’t just tell people not to be loud or pull pranks or goof around especially in a public place. I woke up with my dog on top of me and two kids from my school standing over me unsure whether to laugh or call an ambulance. This literally happened maybe 10 mins before posting. If only people realized to just not screw around around disabled people...

I think you’re looking at this from a wrong angle. I don’t think they meant you any harm and usually most of us handle that stuff quite well. At least I do. Haha! So yeah, that actually sounds entertaining. I’d probably yell back what do you mean? Hahahaha! I don’t think he meant any harm honestly I don’t think most of us who doesn’t have other disabilities have this reaction. People yell stuff at others all the time.

I know he didn’t mean harm. What happened just sucks which is why I wrote here

I see. Yeah, well unexpected things happen. Sometime I can see how it can be frustrating.

Sorry this happened to you. I don’t think they’ve singled you out or meant to hurt you. I’ve been sitting on my porch and young guys will yell silly things. I think it is just the way they act sometimes...silly and impulsive. Maybe you can put the word out through your school’s social media accounts that this causes an issue for you.

I don’t think it was a student.... and my guide was very obvious. They’re just assholes
