Wow! Your friends are being seriously ableist.

First of all, being VI, I think there are *some* visual aspects of the movie that you're getting. Second, even if you were *completely blind*, there are still other things in movies like music, plot, dialogue, and characters that you can enjoy. Finally, even if none of that was true, friends don't ignore their friends, and by doing that to you they're being colossal bags of dicks.

I think one way to get this across may be something like, "Even though I can't see the movie the way you do, I still want to enjoy what we're watching because I want to enjoy our time together. It's hard to enjoy our time together when I am feeling ignored. I'd rather be included in the decision making process than have it decided for me. When I hear people making decisions for me or telling me I don't care about things, it makes me feel less valued than everyone else." In your own words, ofc.

I don't know the nature of your friendships but I hope something like can get through to them.

OP, this is not a healthy relationship with your friends. I understand that they are your group, and you enjoy hanging out with them, but you are a person too, and have just as much of an opinion as any of the sighted members of the group, regardless of the topic. I know it’s not easy, or fun, but you need to have a serious conversation with them, either individually or as a collective. Being visually impaired does not mean that your thoughts are worth half as much as someone else’s, at any point of time.

Also, be aware that spaces after your punctuation are not coming out properly. Just an FYI.

They sound like assholes, but if you want to try to make it work I recommend talking to them about it individually. People get group think going on, especially if they're the type that "jokes" a lot.

If you talk to them individually, they're less likely to get into the group think and they are more likely to understand you're being serious and not just doing a skit.

Tell them you're not going until they take your vote seriously.

I hope you have a different friend group you can hang out with. These people sound terrible! I’m sorry.

You should get a new friend group because these people are being absolute dicks

Yeah, please make some new friends. I am going to say what everyone else has said here, they are being a bunch of jerks and not actually good friends. You deserve better. I saw that you have trouble making friends but you don’t deserve to hang around people who do not respect you. I had to learn this the hard way. I didn’t listen to myself.

I could totally relate I didn’t really have real life friends until a few years ago. I don’t know how old you are, but I remember that no one wanted to hang out with me partly because I was the blind kid. And guess what? No one hangs out with blind weirdos. That’s just how it works in high school. So try to find someone nice to hang out with besides these people. Learn that you can get better. It’s not healthy to get trapped by thinking this is the best you can get so this is what you deserve.

Sounds like it's time to get new friends, honestly.

That sucks, they should be more thoughtful
