Could you imagine if some one realy good with stealth walking and sneaking, was just living in your house, with, always avoiding you, never making a sound. Just in your house? (self.Blind)

My old roommate jokes that she knew I was loosing my eyesight before I did because we’d be home together and it’d take me quite a few minutes to realize we were in the same room.
And that’s just with limited eye sight!

Oof. That ever startle you?

Oh for sure! I’m more paranoid now a days with just feeling “watched”. Like when I come home I check the apartment for roommates and get anxious that someone is looking over my shoulder when I’m in a shared space.
But also led to some great laughs. I’d call for her and she’d be like I’m literally right next to you.

It'd have to be a pretty big house to avoid detection for over a year, blind or not. All the rooms in my house are used at least every day, and closets are used almost as frequently.
The scenario you describe seems to require that a space go unused for a very long time.

Well, the top one in my mind involved a lady hiding most of the day in a closset, and I think a few of the others involved a crawlspace.
People are odd.

Really, though?
I can tell which toy my child has when I'm in the lounge and she's on the floor above.
I can walk to and deliver a drink to someone sat somewhere in my home without needing verbal "here I ams" and you can hear if someone's asleep without turning lights on.
Unless someone's a stealth ninja, I think this is pretty impossible

I mean you would think, though it sounds like your hearing is on point.
Though there have been cases were pepole with site, have found a room mate hiding in there house, so it might not be to far fetched.
Even if its unlikely to ever happen.

as a one-off I can see this, but the OP implied a regular, or longer term scenario. And also seems to assume this is more likely when you can't see anything, something I also find fallacious. Seems to me just another example of how people assume you're less able without sight.

1st I am the op, and 2nd, I mentioned in the post at the end this has happened to pepole, referenced the lady that hid in someone closet for a year.
Though there has been other such oddities.
This is also more of a creepypasta then anything, also me being silly, as a guy with mental and brain damage issues, I understand all to well how some pepole like to think I ant as able as some other pepole. Just extra difficulties in life sometimes. So this is in no way a stab or a jab at you for being disabled.
Also these kind of scenarios tend to be long term, least till the home invader gets caught.

Do you ever consider that you have always had the issues that are prevalent with brain damage, but the people around you never pointed them out to you until you were 'injured', because it finally gave them a reason to make you notice them?
Similar line of though, and you feel it is silly to think that could happen in your scenario because of \[reasons\]. But I'm sure it's happened somewhere at some point. And I am sure someone could find it offensive to consider that.
I'm not offended, nor claiming any of that to be true for you. But can you see why it seems kind of egregious to suggest that?

I reject the premiss that it's any more likely due purely to blindness, though. Of course there are very rare situations where it happens, but to expect it to happen more widely to a pool of people because they can't see seems ... hard to justify.

This thought has always freaked me out.
I've always wanted to live alone/not marry but thoughts like these make me rethink everything hahah.

I can bet, I still get wigged out when a stray hair makes me think a spider is on me, and I can see. Shudders.
