Here's a really good article on this by someone who's been blind since birth.

Almost impossible for me. I'm curious about other people's experiences.

I plan to go to a social connection event sometime next month (possibly) while tripping, so I'll definitely let you know if that helps with reading people at all.

My sweetheart tells me his non-verbal cues, like “I’m smiling” if I’ve told a half-funny joke.

I’m not shy, so when I’m in a group of new friends I’ll often tell them I don’t see much so if they do any side glances or smirks.. I’m not being rude ^.^ I just wont see it. That has been a successful ice breaker so far.

At a craft night this week they were very interested in my Braille device. Wanted to see how it worked. It was fun!

I grew up around sighted people all my life. Went to public school, my brother, mom, and my child's mother later on would go on to confirm all the visual cues I knew. Honestly, a lot of it was so natural to me and I wish I could tell you how. I knew shaking my head was a substitute for answering. I knew that 3-4 inches above the area where you hear their voice, you know that's their eyes and you know to open and look at them directly. I knew that shrugging your shoulders was a thing when you didn't agree. It became so second nature to where I can pretty much always be spot on with shaking hands. Based on height and other factors, I have a general idea where your hand is. I will put to the level and meet you have way/lock.


Good luck. I look forward to see if others can definitely get there with techniques.

I don't think it's possible.
