How do you know how full a glass is when filling it? (self.Blind)

I typically can hear the difference in the sound when it’s empty and approaches the top, but if I want to make sure I will just put my finger in a little before the top and when the liquid hits my finger I know it’s time to stop filling the glass

I agree with u/JessConstantino, the sound is probably the best way when you get used to it. If filling a water bottle from a dispenser where the bottle is lower, you can gently move it from side-to-side to get an idea of its weight as well, which can help.
If pouring into cups, glasses etc from above such as with a jug, kettle and such, you can buy a Liquid Level Indicator which will give audible alerts to the fullness of the target container.

Like this, finger over the rim of a glass (or water bottle) as well as listening to the pitch getting higher as the vessel fills.

Dip your finger in just a little also hold one hand around the middle of whatever you're feeling so you can feel the sometimes the temperature of the liquid rising and also if you're holding it you can feel the weight

One technique is putting your finger in to the top of the cup, so you can feel when it is close to the top.
There is also a device called a liquid level indication, which has two metal prongs that go inside the cup. When the liquid touches the metal prongs, it completed an electrical circuit and makes a buzzing noise.
Even with those, spills can happen. It can be useful to pour over the sink or a tray (to contain the liquid if it does get spilled).
