This is going to sound like a stupid answer, but not being able to pick up a video game and just play it and have fun. Most games I can use accessibility settings and I get a lot of enjoyment out of it, but there are just some games that I straight up can't play and I feel like I miss out on some great experiences.

Not being fully independent and always requiring a level of assistance. E.g filling out forms, unable to read to read menus, can’t even see street signs. Maybe when Im older, it will get better because I’m expected to be need assistance.

The only thing that frustrates me the most is the perceptions that sighted people have about me. People really need to stop making assumptions about what I can and cannot do. The only things I can't do are drive and fly any vehicle. Everything else, I can do.

The obvious things I find easy to handle like getting transportation. Its the little stuff people take for granted that kills me. Such as not being able to read the size of the socket im looking for or is that a mens restroom or a womens?

On the flip side the best feeling ever is when Ive known people for sometime and Im met with "I had no idea" when I tell them of my vision loss. Or when long time friends are working with me and I have to remind them "yo man I cant read your phone" because they forget. To me it means Im doing something right.

Every time I think about the amazing things I've read and learnt until now that I know wouldn't be even a possibility for me to read/learn if at the time my vision was as bad as it is now. It makes me think of all the great experiences I'll be missing out from now on simply because they're not meant for low vision/blind people.

There's the "but there'll always be something you can do", but it only makes it worse. I hate feeling like I'll get the scraps of everything I could fully appreciate until not long ago.

I see three answers posted here already and all three strike home.

I'm frustrated about having to depend on people for rides. Especially since I used to drive myself around before my condition got worse. Also feel bad about having to ask people for info I know is posted on a wall or menu board to be easily read.

I'm frustrated about being unable to be competitive in some sports and games, like ping pong which my family plays or pool or video games. And same with things like reading the fine print on medication or a receipt etc.

And then there's people judging your abilities when they hear you're blind, so I often hide it. I know that sounds contradictory of the second point since I just admitted to being below capacity in pool and reading, but this is actually something that cuts both ways. I don't want people patronizing me about how brave I am because I decided to go canoeing as a visually impaired person and I don't want people thinking I should be excluded from some activity because I can't handle it.

What frustrates me the most is looking for something for 20 minutes only to find it was in front of me the whole time on my "blind" side.

When I have kids some day what happens when there sick from school and need to be picked up and my wife can’t. Or when I’m with them and can’t take them places because I can’t drive. Needing something simple at the store and having to rely on others to take you. I don’t have a wife right now or kids but those are some common problems that will happen I bet. Not being able to see family when you want to.

Transportation, always being on someone's schedule, whether that's Uber, Lyft, the bus, a cab, paratransit, etc. Not driving, not flying. I've wanted to be a pilot all my life and have studied it in great detail.

I am most frustrated at the fact that my blindness impacts where I will live and work post college simply because I cannot drive. I enjoy live living in the suburbs and would be willing to drive to larger cities for work if I were sighted. However, I will either need to deal with the higher costs of living in a larger city or attempt to find work here in the suburbs. One of the VI teachers that I worked with who is also blind told me that the day that driverless cars are made legal for the blind, he will call in sick to work and will be the first person at the car dealership before it opens.

My main frustration is from not being able to drive anymore.

Not being able to watch judo stuff. I could get a lot more insights from watching world championships. Yeah, that's stupid but I love judo.

For me, travel bothers me the most. I hate the feeling of helplessness that comes with being forced to follow others' schedules instead of making my own. I live in a small little town and mass transit doesn't come through here. I have to rely on family, and if they're running late? I'm out of luck.

All the things that have already been said here, mainly relying on others for transportation/assistance. I want so badly to help in return, to feel useful and like I have something to contribute, but too often I've got nothing. The biggest thing for me though (I know this will sound dumb to a lot of people) is that I can't "just do things". There's always so much planning and adaptation involved. I just wish that literally everything wasn't a chore, you know? Much of my frustration comes from a lack of skill, particularly with O&M, but all the skill in the world wouldn't make my problems go away. I want to go for a walk without the cane and constantly thinking about terrain/landmarks? Well, Guess I'll have to go with someone else. Same for running, hiking...you get the idea. So I'm always in the presence of another person who has their own schedule, might want to talk to people I don't know, etc. I'm grateful, don't get me wrong, and I have awesome people in my life, but god damn it I want to do all that shit on my own, without stressing about some blindness issue. I'd just like to be carefree for a while, which I guess is something everyone wants. I could go on, but I was planning on keeping this relatively short. Apologies for the wall of text.
