Bad thing about being blind is everything you do is 'inspirational'. I made toast, there's Nothing inspiring about it.

antony catt thank you!!! I'm partially blind and everyone always refers to me as inspirational because I sing and don't let sight stop me but no I don't think it is inspirational I'm still human and if I let sight stop me life would be boring as hell I am flattered if people are inspired by blindness or anything I do but it's kinda annoying that anything I do independently is apparently 'inspirational'

i get this as a disabled woman in a wheelchair - oh you're such an inspiration.... hun i'm buying milk in aldi?

I know this video is quite a few years old now, but I’d love to see you revisit this video. See how much of this is still bothersome to you or if somethings you’ve grown past? Any new dislikes about being blind? P.S. love your channel. Your makeup is gorgeous. 💗

Ah man it must be so annoying when you have to ask other people for help when you don't want to, especially when you can tell they aren't in the mood! Also, I don't think this video was really pessimistic, I think it helps people understand what blind people go through and how to help make sure they don't feel isolated in social situations. Great video 😉

For me the worst part of being visually impared is relying on others. You know you can,t but when they act like getting you or helping you is putting them out. You want to say you wish that was your worst problem.

I just love your videos, the good, the bad and the ugly! You are great, I'd seriously love to be your mate, keep doing what you're doing!

You are living my worst fear and I admire how you go about your situation. Thank you for being so open about it. I like learning about this condition. Sorry, I know this is a fairly old video but I just discovered your channel! Hope you are enjoying your spring!

You are a ray of sunshine. Even when talking about very real, sometimes showstopping, frustrations, you still have a giant smile on your face. :-)

Hi Lucy, Great video. It just made me realize how important many things in life are, that we take for granted. With all my faculties intact, I have achieved not even half of what you have. Stay strong, you are a source of inspiration for me and many others.

It's great that you made this! It's important to point out the bad things about blindness as well as the positives and tips or else people can think blindness isn't that bad. xx

Hi Lucy Lucy, thank you very much for this video. I am also blind and agree with many of the things you said in this video. Thanks again for another awesome one, Matt

You are absolutely lovely. Keep doing these videos, you are an inspiration!

Thank you for explaining this. I learned a lot.

Should do a video on your new flat. So so Happy for you to have your own place. For me my first place for myself by myself is scary but such a great feeling. Stay strong keep up the great videos

You are such an inspiration!!! Really loving your youtube!

I like this :) We all need to know the positive and negative. Life is full of both For sighted people, we're so used to just going about and doing things. It's nice to see the other side, and hear how it effects you. It's mind and eye opening.

You are so honest and informative. A true inspiration and a genuinly nice person

You're such a great, brave and beautiful person ! What you're doing is amazing.

When people can't be bothered or don't want to understand blindness or any difficulty is just selfishness, what they should realise is that I can happen to anyone at any time and they would soon change their attitude if it happened. Thanks lovely girl.

I know how hard it can be im blind in one eye I understand its not the same but because I have one good eye n with that it has made it weak but I can say that you are a great and that you help me feel better about myself :) so thank you

hi Lucy I have just subscribed to your channel.your videos are great and you seem like such a fun happy person. I've never had a friend of family member who was blind. I found this video really encouraging, if I ever do have a blind friend some day I'll know how to be a good friend to them because of this video. thanks for sharing your story

I think it's important to hear about the realities of being blind. Thanks for sharing!

Just found your channel thanks to This Morning. You're amazing! (also when you rapped you instantly reminded me of Rosie from Rose & Rosie's channel lol) xx

Good information. Thank you for sharing.

I appreciate very much all that you have said. I helps to give some more insight into the experience of others.

I am in that mood at the moment, it's lame I just want to hide until it goes away. I'll make a deal with whoever is feeling this way, if you keep your chin up I will too x

I can so relate to the moving things and the living things in the missing visual and the conversations involving Atlee visual aspects and the fifth stations of depending on others we were really movement

First time here! so glad your videos found me :) xo

I think every screening should come with AD. You could have a handheld device to plug headphones into given out at the ticket office for the blind and VI folks and the sighted people could just have the regular movie at the same time. :)

I've watched many of your videos over the past couple of days and they are really quite moving and very informative. I don't have a blind friend or know anyone who is blind but if I meet someone who is blind in future, I'd like to think maybe I'll be able to interact better with them thanks to you. I'm curious and since you said ask: Do you find that listening to films with audio description is similar to audio books or are they quite different? Do you have a preference?

You seem like an amazing person, Lucy!

Lucy! Your hair looks beautiful! My question is, you have your texts read to you but how do you send texts?

All I have to say is dang, for almost all of your videos I have a new idea for a post in my blog. :D

awesome video!

I love your spirit!

I look up to you just because your blind that's not stopping you doing the things you love x

I have a friend whose mom is blind and she came to the school to eat lunch with our group and I mentioned that her service dog was cute and she asked if I wanted to pet him and that made my day it was a few months ago

Thanks for the insight

Love you!

Sharing is caring, don't give up. your friend Sunny.

Oh my God, I think I hate the picture thing the most. That's when I feel really out of place.

Your outfit was so cute in this

I am blind in 1 eye nd got only 60% vision in my other eye. Where r u from if u don't mind me asking? I work for vision support in Wrexham

Does the cinema do audio is that why you have to go at certain times?

I'm legally blind I just lost most of my sight in November. And I can understand you in all the worse things ever. I haven't been motivated to do anything with my life since I found out my eye sight would be permanently damaged I had a blood.clot and intercranial pressure and the pressure caused my optic nerves to swell. The swelling finally went down about 4 months later but caused permanent damage to my eyes I have low vision and many blind spots.

Can you expand on situations where you've felt patronized? I really want to make sure I'm not ignorantly being patronizing. For example, if someone who is blind is clearly trying to get on the escalator nearby and they're a little bit off, do I tell them "a little to your left" or do I trust that they know what they're doing or do I ask first? Thank you!

@LilyMordaunt

Ask first. Just saying a direction doesn't necessarily tell us what your talking about. Even if you say "the escalator is a little farther to the left", I have friends who are extremely annoyed by any assistance. But whatever you do, don't just grab the person (this has happened to me on multiple occasions). At the very least touch the person's arm or shoulder to let them know that you're speaking to them. But I also feel that being conscious that you could come off as patronizing, or rude goes a long way to aid you in not giving that impression.

Yes. My friend is legally blind but in her dreams she has perfect vision. As for some one who has been blind there whole life yes. Not like we do because they don't see things they make up what things look like and dream that. Hope that helps!
