Things To Do With Friends (self.Blind)
submitted by TheUltimate00
I'm going to hang out with a new friend of mine who is visually impaired, and I was wondering if there were any good ideas on things to do with them. Besides obviously just chatting and watching a few movies they want to show me, which I'm sure we'll do, are there any youtubers to watch or video games to play that any of y'all find interesting and would be entertaining for my friend? I'm trying to come up with a lot of ideas to sorta future proof things. I thought an RPG like final fantasy might still be entertaining for them to watch me play, as the story is the main draw of those games, but then I got to thinking about the lengths of blank space in between story elements, what with grinding and lengthy boss fights. Thanks for the help!

Do whatever you want. Theres not really much we can't, though if I'm being honest at least in my opinion going to an aquarium or something does sound kinda dull lol. But yeah all the things you mentioned do sound fine.

You could always just ask the person when you meet them. Remember that we are people too.

And I guess we're all from lots of different countries. Kinda hard to pick something everyone would recommend.

Oh of course! I just wanted some ideas of myself so I wasn't leaning everything on them. That and I'm sure we'll just be catching up and chatting the first few times we hang out, maybe see some of those movies they want to show me, but after the first round of hangouts when ideas are starting to run low I wanted to have a whole stockpile of things to show them that I enjoy too!

I get where you're coming from, but remember to be yourself. .

Aye that's good advice, I feel myself slip personalities and say what people want to hear often. I'll keep taking things slow, doing what I do and all 😁

I see a lot of posts on here asking what to do with a blind person. As a blind person, I would just want a new friend to be themselves. If you like something that is highly visual, don't be afraid to tell the person what you are in to. I think too offten sighted people worry too much about offending us. Not every blind person likes podcasts. We all have diverse interests, and what one person likes another may not. Just relax and be you. You will find some common interests.

Ideas I've gotten from other forums so far in case anyone stumbles upon this later on: Sleepycast and the Please Stop Talking Podcast
