Another video with my old hair and stuffy nose... Which of these questions surprised you the most?!
Love you so much
How do you know when you have your period😂😂😂 seriously????
Lyssssm💜💜💜
Love you molly
you a cutie I love the throwback Molly❤❤
When I was a kid I always assumed that all blind people had 0 vision and only saw blackness so I was surprised to learn the opposite
Emma me too.
Same here until I started watching Molly
Me too. I had no clue there was a spectrum but I had no one in my life to tell me any different until I was in high school.
I have a lot of questions but now that you've pointed out how silly we phrase things, I think I'd like to try to come up with better ways to ask them. ♥️
Emma same
Same, I was confused to.
Damn I didn't even think about having to deal with periods
@uh I mean, that's lucky. For me personally, I never feel it coming. It's always irregular and unpredictable. There are warning signs but, when it actually starts it always takes me by surprise. For some people periods really suck, and I can't imagine dealing with that blind. But I also do understand that it is a very inappropriate thing to ask someone though.
She should do a first period story time video
As a girl completely blind not light perception or anything dealing with periods can be challenging but then again it is for every girl it’s not a big deal you are aware of when it’s happening also as a blind person you just learn how to do things how ever you feel like doing them
Christina Aswez they surprise me too but i always feel when they actually happen. also smell and touch exist
Christina Aswez id be like take me to the loo
One of the best quotes I've ever heard... "Why do sighted people believe that the world disappears when they close their eyes?"
Hi. I love your videos. I also have my own small channel and am parcially sighted. These things you said are so true
My Life My Journey Hello, I am visually impaired also! I am 10 and it’s been a problem in my life. I have worn glasses since I was 9 months old.
Hi @MyLifeJourney and @Bonnie I’m so Fascinated how blind people live and their fashion sense and everything it’s so cool how they ‘live in the dark’ ! Anyway, to my question, do u guys post RUclips videos about how blind people like and their lives? I’m looking for another channel like Molly Burke’s. At the time I am not visually impaired but, I would like to learn more about their community! I’m truly sorry if this comment was offensive to you in any way have a good day!
True because the world doesn’t disappear!! Good way to put it!!
Me: *takes off glasses to wash them*
Kid in my class: YOU LOOK SO DIFFERENT!!!
Me: SO DO YOU :0
That's what I say!
This needs more likes
Lol i have never thought about saying that😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Ikr, glasses change what you look like, but personally ppl also look different with/without glasses, bc there..
Well it depends on your sight problems
I should start saying that!!!
I like how Molly's headband matches Gallop's scarf. So cute haha
Sarah GH hmm I didn't notice that, but it's so cool
Sarah GH I didn’t noTICE THAT!!!!!
Sarah GH And It Matches Her Bed💖💖
Güçčī Tīñė Sorry I didnt See your Comment!!😂
RO Plays I guess it really matches her bed now 😂
Also, it is not related to disabilities... but when strangers touches the stomach of a pregnant woman. Like it's her body! You can't just touch it because you think pregnancy is beautiful or something.
Asking women if they're pregnant (or when they're going to have children) is also a big no-no
From my pov pregnant women always act like I'm not excited ENOUGH about their little "miracle" lol...
OR if someone is pregnant saying that their belly is so small or that they don’t look pregnant, especially if you’re going to add a comment about the baby not having enough room to grow. I never showed with my son because he was born early and my stomach muscles kept him in and it always hurt my feelings when someone would comment that I didn’t look 8 months pregnant because I wanted a belly so bad
I have a friend with a prostetic leg and you won't believe how many people think it's okay to just touch it when he's wearing shorts in the subway or something. Pretty weird thing to do.
Violet Heroine That's insane. You would never reach over and touch someone's leg otherwise so why would that be ok? Wow.
I did not realize how intensely I stare at my food when I’m eating until you said are eyes that important when you’re eating, and apparently for me they are 🤣 I like to give my spaghetti the eyes so it knows.
I never realized that either, omg. What I do realize is that if I'm eating and watching something, I'll have to rewind it a million times cuz I missed out on it without noticing.

If I eat food in front of the TV in the evening I have to have a lamp on so that I can see what I'm eating. It makes me really uncomfortable when I can't see my food!
I have never thought of "how do you do your makeup" ive thought "wow! Doing makeup blind seems like a challenge. Shes pretty talented"
I've totally wondered that! Alongside a few of her other questions tbh, I don't know any blind people so I get curious about those kinds of things all the time. I don't personally see anything wrong with innocently asking a question, as long at it isn't rude or an invasion of privacy, but fortunately I have google and don't need to pester actual blind people about it 😅
I'm just severely near-sighted and gave up on makeup...
Molly does her makeup all her adult life. I never wore it once and I'm sighted. I am pathetic 🤣
I'm half blind and the reoccurring question I got in grade school was, "Close your good eye! Now, can you see this!" NO, I CAN'T SEE YOUR TWO FINGERS, SHANNON. THIS ISN'T FUN.
Thicc Lemonade Hey, I’m a new beauty youtuber and I would love all the support I can get! Comment and subscribe for makeup tutorials and lifestyle videos!:)
I like to comment random sh*t I'm only blind in my left eye, so I just say "half" blind
Thicc Lemonade so as a half sighted person, what does it look being blind? Does it just look like darkness like when you close your eyes? Or is it just extremely blurry?
Thicc Lemonade haha, I like "half blind" if the sight in the other eye is less than 20/20, you could 3/4ths blind 😅
Mary Elizabeth Mine is extremely blurry where I can't make.out things, but if you put me in front of a huge single colored thing, I can tell you what color it is. So if I'm looking at a blue wall, I can tell it's blue. And if the lights in a room change color, I can tell
So my sister is blind, one day when we were in school one of her classmates asked if I walked around the house with a blindfold on so we could see the same......people are just idiots 😂😂
Oml
Same name and cool story
@@freyahasfun4755 this is totally not biased, but you have the best name in the universe XX😂😂
thanks I thought of it years ago for my channel lol
@@freyahasfun4755 I got my name by combining my name with a nickname 😂😂
Me: I have Scoliosis
Them: What's that
Me: It's when M-
Them: no wait let me guess you have problems with your hands?
Me: No it's when my back curves in a way it shouldn't
Them: Oh My back hurts when I carry heavy things so I prolly have it
Me: 😐😐 Yeppp sure buddy
I find that using body language when explaining scoliosis is more effective than just saying, “It’s when the spine curves in a way it shouldn’t.” I draw an imaginary snakey line down my front to illustrate the direction the spine curves, and rarely does anyone say they think they have it, too ☝️
I’m actually worried I have it lmfao. Ik my spine isn’t straight, and never has been, but I’ve also never been actually tested for it lmao
Alexander Denver, a very simple preliminary testing can be done at home, if your parents or siblings (or even a friend you don’t mind seeing you with your shirt off) would be willing to assist you. You have to be shirtless, so they can clearly see your back, but they should stand in front of you, facing you as you bend straight forward to touch your toes (keep your feet together, with your knees slightly bent). Ask them to tell you if the top of your rounded back looks level, or if it appears higher/lower on one side. Hope that makes sense.
If both sides of your back aren’t level with each other when you do this exercise, it’s likely you do have scoliosis and should see a specialist to confirm the condition and advise you on your options to manage/correct it☝️
I have Scoliosis too i got a surgery to straighten it tho. If you're wondering what surgery i got its basically a metal in my spine to keep it straight. (sorry if my english isn't the best)
I have polymyositis which is a muscle atrophy disease. I love it when people say, “Have you tried working out?”
No but I do go to physical therapy to help me improve my strength so I can get up from a chair on my own or help me pick things up that weigh more than like 2 lbs, but yeah you’re right. Let me jump on the treadmill or start doing push ups. I’m sure that’s all I needed.
“Sighties”
What a legend
Zoe Markham yeah it’s awesome
Also thank you for being so open when i'm sure it can get really tiring!
Idk about you or other blind people. By since I’m legally blind and can fake being sighted pretty well, anytime I tell someone I’m blind they tend to respond with “oh I’m blind too.”
No. No. No. you have poor vision that gets corrected to average when you put in contacts. That’s different.
My dad’s legally blind or at least he was when he was a kid and he prefers his contacts to his glasses. My eyesight is only slightly better so I’m not technically legally blind but I’m pretty damb close.
Really, people say that? That is SO rude!!! My partner is legally nearly blind (he has under ten degrees of his field of sight left); he has usher syndrome and so he also is hard of hearing. I know, he can see in the center.
I have worked as an optician some years ago and the dioptries don't say nothing about being "blind" or not. My sister has 10 dioptries and has a better vision than a lot of other people. Blindness or legally blindness is something you can't correct with glasses. People have to learn this.
CopicGirl
Sadly that statement is not always true.
In some cases someone being legally blind can be corrected with glasses.
Try to explain it this way, try looking at something through your elbow or your nose. It just doesn't work. When Molly says that she can't see, it means that she cannot see, and some crazy people out there think she can see colors or faces. But that statement is wrong.
😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱
So someone with astigmatism can drive a car their entire life, while other people cannot. But science has created self driving cars, I don't really understand that.
CopicGirl I’m 6 diopters am I legally blind
I know that I’m not technically legally blind since I do wear glasses and they work but I feel like without them I would be since my eyesight is like total garbage. I don’t know if I qualify but I probably will be someday.
i cOMPLETELY FORGOT ABOUT MENSTRUATION
just thinking about it stresses me out
I love it when people ask me about autism. I'll answer any questions you have a million times.
Because NOBODY EVER ASKS!
seriously, I really wish more people would ask. Like you said, its better for people to ask and be educated, and not ask, and be wrong
Same!
Talk to me about autism. I would like to ask how do people with autism see things or like do they understand things differently than other people? I just wanted to say that I have a mobility disability
And also being a disabled person I find it very hard when I’m talking about myself and I’m comparing myself to other people who don’t have disabilities and sometimes i’ll try to explain to people for example like I can’t walk as well as normal people can and It bothers me that I say normal people because nobody is normal everyone is their own unique person but I never think of another way of saying other people who don’t have disabilities but like in another way. So I wanted to ask, when you explain to another person who doesn’t have your kind of disability or any disability at all, do you say normal people or something else?
Angie Lopez in terms of ASD most people (myself included) would refer to non-autistics as ‘neurotypical’
I have Aspergers and I would say that I experience the world differently to neurotypicals? I find it very difficult to read facial expressions, tone of voice and body language. Eg I might think someone is angry when actually they’re just tired or concentrating. I can also get easily overloaded with anything sensory such as bright lights, strong smells and too much noise (concerts are hell!) there are a lot of autism stereotypes like rainman and sheldon cooper from Big Bang theory, a lot of these aren’t necessarily true and actually quite irritating. I’m terrible at maths and physics, I’m also very disorganised 😂 I have some social skills and I sometimes understand sarcasm but I just have to work a bit harder and I get more tired out after socialising than a neurotypical. These are just a few things I can thing of off the top of my head and are completely different for each individual. Sorry that was a bit of an essay!
Jessica Francis oh ok. Bright lights make dizzy and nauseous and loud noises are the worst. When I got diagnosed the doctors told me the part that was affected was my cerebellum, it’s a part in your head behind the brain that controls the coordination and regulate muscle activity. I hated going to school because of the noise and the there’s too many people. Thank you for answering my question.
Ik it sounds dumb but what do blind people see? Black? White? Somebody just said “ nothing “ and i said WHAT DOES NOTHING LOOK LIKE
The bigger question is how is my comment still relevant after 2 months?
What do you see behind yourself (i mean without looking)... Nothing 😉
Jenna Markes WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE 😭
+Jenna Markes what is in front of you
Complete Darkness.
90 DAYS FOR A NAME CHANGE ,YAY
Close your eyes and you’ll see what she sees
"Hi i'm Molly, and I'm blind!"
"Can you see?"
"HI I'M MOLLY AND I'M BLIND"
Haha so dumb some people 😄😅
can you hear?
One of my eyes was legally blind for most of my childhood, and it’s still a pretty sucky eye. People would ask, (and still do) “what do you see?” Or “is it just black in some places?” And I’m like, I can’t explain what nothing looks like. Like, what if you had no eyes? You don’t see black or white, you literally just don’t see. It’s like a little bit of nothingness has been mixed in with normal vision. That the only way I can explain it.
You just say, “I can see as much as your pointer finger sees.”
I am a kid well turning 12 this year and always thought it was just black until I read this. So when thinking of how to describe it to myself what was happening in my brain was ??🤔
@@gabriella15748 Just think of like what do you see behind your head at all times? You don't see your field of vision and then blackness all around it, you have your field of vision and then just nothing around it.
You can also try thinking of "how much/what does your hand/elbow/whatever see?" which is again nothing, not blackness, right. But that sometimes confuses people.
@@dothedo3667 :O That actually clicked pretty well thank you
To be honest, for me at least, I can feel my period. The real question is, " how do you know when your period is over?"
Or for people with glasses, like myself...
"HoW mAnY fInGeRs Am I hOlDiNg Up?"
Oh gawd someone did this to me today or when u take pictures and u take off your glasses people be like "you look so weird or different" or "put them back on because u cant see or will bump into walls" or "you look better without them" LIKE SHUT UP
This happens all the time I HATE it
Been hearing that question for 10 years 😭
Take off my glasses and people ask this. Im no where near 100 percent blind.
Or people always ask me if they can wear my glasses. Or they literally TAKEE THE GLASSES OFF MY DAMN FACE AND START WALKING AROUND THE ROOM LIKE ITS THERE SHIT😂😭💀
My mood towards drama: Molly in the thumbnail
LMAO right?! xD

Wait really!!!
Never mind I found the video, it was right under it.
*i have type 1 diabetes and use an insulin pump*
"is that a beeper?"
my fellow diabetic in the wild
Not diabetes for me, as we've tested negative already...
But I have ppl freak out about me testing my blood sugar to write down.
While yes, my SD does a great job and I about know where my numbers are on his first alert....
My Drs still want every detail, and since many argue about how reliable an SD is- I have to get the exact readings from the little machine...
He usually alerts to get my attention, I go down the list of command words I've trained him with...
And he paws me again once I reach the command he's alerting for.
Then me and whoever is driving go for food and while waiting I test my blood....
I walk slow due to a shattered back, literally.
So by the time I get somewhere hidden, I'm not going to be able to make it back before it gets hard(er) to walk.
And I just don't like dragging out my medical supplies in a bathroom!
Just no.
Luckily the food places in my town know us well and always has a place that hides us from view(mostly) but gives my SD enough space...
It just ticks me off when someone goes out of their way to stare at what I'm doing and then flips saying I need to do it in the restroom...
I try not to mouth too badly about how would they like of their Drs drew their blood over a toilet..
But some days..
Uhg.
I've had the same sort of things happen when I use my inhaler or someone thinks I'm going to use my EpiPen...
(Haven't had to yet thankfully)
Like just walk away bro, close ur eyes or something.
@@wildlifesymphony I always test mine at the table. If somebody says something I tell them it is a matter of life or death for me. How would they like to be in a lawsuit?
@@Channel4029
To be fair, I'm really the only one that confrontation of any sort doesn't really bother in my family.
We are more of a clan, due to our numbers...
I'm constantly getting shushed and told it's rude, be nice, there's no way they could know etc etc.
It's hard to word things to where I'm able to get the lesson across, while also not being spoken over by a family member trying to smooth things over.
(Unfortunately due tk uncontrolled occular migraines I can't drive, as my SD only alerts to the migraine and not the symptoms that start piling up before it- like depth perception, brain fog, eyes not seeing far enough out.... Troublesome.)
*beep beep*
“If you’re Mexican, why do you look white?” Is my personal favorite question that I get
Joz Beltran my boyfriend too!! Lol I was surprised when I first met him too but now I get tired a little of people asking him, so I step up and explain for him 😂🙈🙊
Bethzahely you’re an absolute angel for doing that for him!
Saaaaaaaaaaaaaame
sammmmmme
Joz Beltran my freind is hispanic and basiclly paler than white #palerthanwhite song
you’ve really been asked about wiping? people have no boundaries.
andrea yeah truth they should know if it’s there friend then maybe but a complete stranger nasty
The most fascinating thing of those questions is assuming that there’s only one way of doing things too!!
Or they must seen parks and rec and assume that if you’re wiping and it doesn’t come out clean you need to see the doc
But seriously does anyone look?
seriously. no boundaries whatsoever! ❤️😋!
When she did a collab with Shane’s gang she said they can ask her anything and it immediately went to poop. Literally.
Molly: I've never dated a blind person before
**Adrian has entered the chat**
I'm so sorry I had too 😂
I was looking for a comment like this when she said that
Exactly!!
When she said Alexa my Alexa went off
Same here
Yep, I wondered how many gadgets around the world would start yapping.. ha ha. Just remember that we rely on our phones to read us everything. Whether we want to hear it or not. As opposed to being cited we can just glance past it and not read it - we are here the lot!
I always forget you're blind. It's not like how you look. Or how you act, it's just-- I can't explain it
I get that
Because she is not blind, she is faking it.
Kelvin Crowe she is really blind. In a lot of other videos you can sort of tell when she has #blindgirlmoments. She also addresses this in other videos. One is titled Why People Think I Can See. She can only see light and shadow effects. If that is what you meant than yes she can see in that way but not completely.
why would you say that?!
There are different types of blindness
First of all, oh, my gods, I'm totally using the term "sighties" now. That is amazing.
Secondly, I've been visually impaired since birth and I've gotten questions like, "How much can you see?" or, "Do you wish you could see?" or, "Would you like me to pray for you?" (I hate that one so much! Sure, pray for me if you want, but because I'm a person, not because you pity me or see me as a golden ticket to Heaven)
And some of my favorites are when they're asked about me, but aren't directed at me. Like, if I'm at a restaurant with people and the waiter talks to someone at the table instead of me: "What would she like to drink/eat?", "How would she like that cooked?", "Would she care for some dessert?"
I always want to be bratty and answer in the third person, but I just politely correct them instead.
Wheelchair user here Jupp get that too...
Please be bratty. They kinda deserve it for being condescendent
You're better than me. I'd go third person on them. 😂
Ok this is random but the fact you said ‘oh my gods’ is legit giving me flashbacks to reading Percy Jackson because that’s what they all say and it made me do it too
@@therubestergaming I've never read Percy Jackson, but I'm Pagan (Wiccan), so that's why I say it.
Video: how do you know when you have your period?
Me: Ya feel it
Yeah, you just know when it starts. You don't have to see for that one ....
I do
I don't feel it til like my 2nd day
I wonder what kind of person would ask that question... I mean do women ask that??? I just assume it's men because no women would NOT know
Uh I can’t tell at all until I see there’s no signs
You feel like you just crawled out of the pits of hell and just want to eat food and go to bed
I’m sighted and my wife is blind. We’ve gotten some of these. Others as well. My favorite is (always directed to me for some reason) “Can she do stairs?”
Daniel Elwell are there really so many people in the world who like fucking stairs??
I hope that made you and your wife laugh
Daniel Elwell 😂😂😂😂 I can’t.
I've dated disabled people in the past, and I'm always shocked by people who make it an issue. As a queer woman, I'm used to intrusions upon my life when I'm out in public with a same sex partner, but it's very frustrating to see how much that is amplified with a disabled partner.
Ah the old shes blind so she cant answer questions shtick lol
adam ayers yep. It’s like they think she’s blind so she must be stupid....very annoying.
I’m legally blind and I’m always getting asked “what about glasses”? WOW. THANK YOU. I HAVE NEVER ONCE THOUGHT TO PUT GLASSES ON. I AM CURED!! Hallelujah!!
YES!!!! Thank you! I get asked this ALL THE TIME. Most annoying thing ever. And if I say glasses wouldn’t work for me, they even ask secondary questions like, “well can’t you get like lasik eye surgery or something like that? Because that sucks, you should do something about it.” Ugh. That can also be offensive, because as if I’d choose this for myself if I had the choice, right? It also makes me wonder if people think I’m dumb asking about glasses. I mean, do people generally walk around with bad eyesight not knowing that glasses exist and could help them? It doesn’t even make sense.
Well I’m not legally blind but I do have poor vision because I’m near sighted so I wear glasses and when people see them they like to take them off my face and try them on and then proceed to sit there and tell me how “blind” i am or how I can’t see.......... it’s literally like 🤦🏾♀️ wow thank you so much because I wasn’t aware that MY eyes a on MY face aren’t fully functional or don’t focus like there’re supposed to but now that you’ve pointed it out I’m sure I’m gonna magically get better
people are just curious and expressing concern, calm down
Yeeeeeesssss!!! All the time!!!
It’s Devy’s World same! It’s just really annoying. Why can’t people just think before they do something.
I am a blind visual artist and writer. Can you imagine how often I am asked to explain and/or defend my disability? My fall back position is that, "I'm just good at being blind". Have a great day!
Nobody :
Mollys intro:👁️👄👁️
I am blind and my boyfriend is blind. People have genuinely asked us if and how we have sex. Really?!
See My Way Elin Williams yeah personal too only you 2 makes sense.
Elin lol wtf?!! That’s so weird people would ask you that.
Elin alot of people do it in the dark so it would be no different
Did these people ever had sex or were you asked by some 6th graders?
Elin honestly I feel like not having sight is a blessing when it comes to sex, it’s so awkward especially when it’s the first time with your partner. Sighted sex problems is should u look, what if it’s not what you thought it would look like. Do you make eye contact n for how long ..the list goes on haha .. trust me you not missing anything when it comes to sight and sex
Me: *takes off glasses*
Person: _hOw mANy fINgErS aM iHoldIng Up?_
Me: *_im not blind fool, just a depth perception_* how is that so hard to understand?
I kown how u feel my brother always did that
I always get that but I don't have very good vision so I can't really tell anyway🤷
For reallllll
For real I see the fingers just somewhat blurry
Ikr lol
To answer if eyes important when eating: for me, yes. I look at my food between every bite, examine where I will bite next to the moment it reaches my mouth. I don't know why but thats how I eat.
them: 'is your boyfriend blind?'
you 'no, just ugly.'
I LOL'd hahahaha
😂 I can relate to this...
My mom's (rip July 13) parents were both blind. My grandpa died before I was born but being around my grandma gave me some insight to blind people. Before my mom passed away I found your channel and she just loved you and the message you are spreading. Everytime I watch one of your videos I think of her.
Miranda Mallery so sorry for your losses, grandparents are a beautiful gift in life.
Miranda Mallery im so sorry for all of your losses, Stay strong love❤️ 💪
I'm so sorry. i don't know what to say. other than, it will get better.
“How do you know when you have your period “
-cramps
-blood
She can't see the blood
But you don’t need to see it because when you have it you know because of other....senses
Yeah I didn't get that one. In so many Buzzfeed articles or whatever many women talk about how they/we can feel when it happens like regardless of cramps or seeing the blood. Like most of the time or a lot of the time you can feel it...
yep, I'll be sitting down and all of a sudden something drips out, i mean its not that hard to figure out and im not even blind
My cramps start a week before my period. Then continue until the third day. It starts light and I can’t tell without looking.
Me: I'm from Japan
Other: oh so you speak cHiNesE?
edit: thanks for all the likes!!
Erika Croft 😂😂
Hahaha - Love your sense of humour! It sounds very similar to mine...
Erika Croft bloody facepalm!🤦♀️ I hate when people are just total morons and can’t tell the diff. between us Asians! They’re totally retarded!
OMG lol
Natalia Jacinto I’m not Asian but I hate when people think Asia is just China and sometimes they know japan, theres India, Philippines, Thailand and so many more that aren’t “well known” to people who can’t think to look a little further
Me: I have eczema.
Them, starting to back away: isn’t that a disease? Can I get eczema from you?? Omggg it’s contagious, isn’t it??
Me: ...
god, save me from snapping on people like this.
That is totally hilarious. Thank you for saying that! That's great!
Good on them for asking about it! And good on you for not snapping and educating people about things they don't know about, or haven't encountered before 👍
Sorry if I’m offending you
What does eczema mean
@@Paprikaa81 Your question itself isn't offensive, your lack of googling it however... 😂

My brother was wondering what type of stuff do you dream about and can you see on your dreams
Sethtech 7 she cant see dreams, say if a sighted person sees something scary in their nightmare but Mollie, if something smells bad it’s a nightmare to her
Sad Audios huh good to know
Fati Zain untrue
i wonder that too
I did a research essay on this and studies have found that it depends on the type of blindness (i.e. spectrum), when they became blind (if they were born blind or if they progressively/suddenly came blind), how they became blind and stuff like that.
It depends on each blind person, there isn't a specific answer to 'how do blind people dream?'. If I remember correctly, our dreams are based on our reality so if you were born blind you won't 'see' in your dreams like a sighted person, but if you lost your vision throughout your life, what you experienced prior to losing it can be part of your dreams.
To explain the food thing. I’m weird in the way that I can’t even eat in the dark. I need to be able to see what I am putting in my mouth to check that it’s ok. I’m really worried about meat not being fully done and the way I check it is through sight.
KiKianaKi i was thinking exactly the same... it’s important to me to look at the food before i start consuming it.. to see if it’s clean and fresh
KiKianaKi We tend to "eat" with our eyes. If we're presented with something that looks ugly and/or not appetizing but taste amazing, we're less likely to taste it /:
I was going to comment the same thing... I also can’t eat in the dark and I’ve never understood why. I don’t really think it’s a quality thing since it’s not like I’m dishing it out or picking what I’m going to eat in the dark so I seriously don’t get it LOL I notice it the most when we try to eat while watching a scary movie... I want to set the scene and have it dark to enhance the movie but can’t do it until I’m done eating so I still haven’t come up with a solid plan for doing both. I just can’t eat in the dark LOL it baffles ME so I’m sure it’s confusing to her or those around me. 🤷🏻♀️
Same. While it's rare, I need to make sure what I'm eating is actual food and not a grasshopper head like I found in a can of store brand turnip greens once. *shudder* I Also have gluten intolerance and need to see that an onion ring crumb didn't get in my fries, thus causing me to throw them all out.
OMG I got the same issue! I can't either, it freaks me out. I've tried before and I will just stop eating, even if I am starving.
Loved the way she said
"Noo he's my puppy"
About the is your boyfriend blind question, when people ask me if my wife is blind, I tell them I met her at a camp for the blind and now she drives a car. Really trips them up.
I am legally blind and I HATE being asked "how many fingers am i holding up" 🙄
Makynzie Woodward I’ve gotten this a lot too smh
I feel ya on that one it’s so annoying ( I’m also legally blind )
got this a LOT in middle and high school. i'm like bruh you're not my doctor can you STOOOOOOP
Makynzie Woodward people say that? That's just like rubbing it in your face I'm so sorry, there are some stupid people out there
Nicole LaBoyne not so much anymore, but in school I got it a few times a week. It was usually the first thing people asked when they found out I was blind
Wow the whole bathroom / period thing never even came into my mind ...... jeeeze ppl
Exactly!!! I'm just so confused, why do people... Ask stuff like that?
That's what I thought too! You don't need vision to know when your period is on! Have they never had a period? Is that why they ask?
I'm confused
I wonder if it's men asking. I don't need to see it to know I have my period.
Becky Boncheveaux to be honest, my period is so light that I actually would need to see if I'm on my period. Through birth control, I know when it'll start. But before taking birth control I was surprised by my period pretty often, and since it is light, especially in summer, I thought the wetness came from sweat.. so sometimes I noticed the problem quite late 😅 sorry... too much information :D
Some people literally have no boundaries.
When people ask you "How do you eat?" I think what they are too ashamed to say is: [ "How do you make sure the food goes into your mouth instead of into your ear ?" ] or ["How do you make sure the food does not collide with your cheek instead of going in your mouth?"]
I've only came across your videos now. What's a beautiful person inside out you are!!!! Life is what's you make it and you are doing much better than most people without any difficulties in life! The most inspiring videos I've ever seen it. Your strengths and love for life is contagious 💞💞💞 Molly - you are amazing 😍
Molly's head band matches her dogs bandana which matches the blanket on the bed so cute! 😍
I wonder if that's a thing. Like a business someone went into. Because I know plenty of people would would wear a headband to match their dog's bandana. I know that there are collars/bracelets, but I feel like a bandana/headband is more obvious. You could start a business! 😂😂
It's Addy no it doesn’t match the bed only in colors
Genuinely confused about the period question. As menstruating humans, we know there's MANY non visual symptoms and feelings of that time. Like sheesh.
You'll be surprised, some woman didn't even know she was pregnant until she gave birth! 😅
Sometimes the cramps are before though! If you aren't heavy it might be hard to notice
what I thought exactly!
That's what I am saying!
I only have visual “symptoms“. And random crying over neglible things 😅. But luckily I very rarely have cramps. Normally I don't feel different when I'm on my period...
(I know I'm lucky about that and that this is NOT normal)
What I don't understand is how anyone could give any of your videos a thumbs down. So many people are trash. Molly rocks!
Omg! This video made me crease up! Honestly the first thing I'd ever want to ask a blind person is how are they so amazing? I find disabilities and how people cope with them to be truely incredible!!! I am sighted but Jesus never realised how much I rely on my eyes until I started watching your videos! They really make me realise how much I take my senses for granted!! You are such a beautiful person Molly, inside and out! Much love to you and your adorable poochie haha 💖
As a blind person, I totally agree with you on all these. I think one of the most annoying things is that people assume that I have an intellectual disability as well. When I mention I can't see, they immediately start talking to me like I'm 2. I use that comparison because I have a cousin who is autistic and that's how his parents and teachers talk to him. Really gentle, extremely encouraging over the little things, stuff like that.
Chelsy Messer that's kind of how people act towards my friend, who is deaf, and they just automatically assume that she can't think for herself or that she has zero intelligence (which is definitely not true).
@@_wffl_2553 I have a deaf friend too who people act the same towards. Granted there are cases where people are multihandicapped but it's rude just to assume as much.
Chelsy Messer 🙁
Why do people do that? Just because you have a handicap doesn't mean you lack intelligence. I hate when people assume things like that or dumb down how they talk. So stupid! 😕
I think it's because they over-compensate on the 'being gentle' thing. Yeah, you shouldn't be an asshole to disabled people but babying them isn't the way to go. Treat them like anyone else, just know they'll need some accommodations. :P How do I know this? I'm half-blind and hard of hearing as well as deaf in the right ear.
Too funny. The one I hate is Do you drive..I usually say yes, that’s what the bumps in the middle of the road are for...or I say yes, with my cane out the window, or yes, but it scares the shit outta my dog😆👍🏻
Lmfao
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
how did u even type this?? o-O
😂😂
@@nicole-xw5ed go watch Molly's video
I’m going to start saying that
Thank you, Molly, for making videos like this to 'get things out in the open' because there's always people who don't understand and will ask those awkward questions.
I'm sighted but have other non - visible disabilities and sometimes people can be difficult when they find out my disabilities; at times they're rude and abusive. For example, I sometimes need a cane to walk, and on bad days people see me walking with my cane and they can see that there's something wrong with me. HOWEVER, if they see me on a 'good' day walking without it, I hear comments from them saying that I'm cheating the system and stuff like:
'See? He can walk without his cane - he MUST be scamming the system, I should get some video of him walking without his cane and report him to the authorities!
The point is that I and a friend of mine as well unfortunately get this sort of thing from normal, non - disabled people who don't understand that we have our 'good' and 'bad' days.
It's just uncomfortable, and I'm sorry to hear that you have to answer those same questions over and over.
i'm visually impaired and i felt some of this so much. i havent watched many of your videos yet but it was nice for me to hear you dated no blind guys in the past because i've kinda had not so much luck with dating before and been basically single forever. and now there's this guy i think i like and i've been driving myself crazy if it would even work out between us. its nice to know that when dating sighted people are more open to dating disabled people than i thought.
Oooh I have one you forgot: "How do you know when it's night/day?"
edit: Before people try to answer it/hate, I'M not asking it, I'm saying I'm sure many people have.
AbbyGirl 8 it has a simple answer too which always leaves people just saying “oh” .
check your phone, it’ll tell you, or ask someone.. idk just a thaught
Molly for one can see light/shadow so she can see the sun/outside light. (just for anyone wondering)
Madeline Vohs But then she can also see artificial light too right? So that wouldn’t help when she’s inside with lights on
That's correct. She has mentioned how sometimes at night she forgets to close the curtains (at night) because its dark outside so she probably can tell. Good point though! Also in Shane's video with her she pointed out how she could see a window when she was inside (during the day with inside lights)
Since you asked: yes, eyes are important when eating. My grandma has recently become blind and she constantly drops things off of her fork, or misses bits of her food. I think sighted people use their eyes to 'pick out' what to put on their fork and determine if it's the right size to stay on it. She does good with finger foods though.
I have to agree with you on the fact that we use our eyes to pick out food because it’s totally true. We determine if it’s the right size to stay on a fork/spoon or how to put something in your mouth. Colors also have a REALLY big part in what we eat.
So missing bites cuz they fall of is a fact of life for both blind and sited, and since I got to experience what it was like to be in complete darkness under blindfold while doing normal things like eating your movements slow because your brain is unfamiliar with the loss of something that you were once so dependent on and because your movements slow to make sure you don’t like, hit something, your not able to have the force to poke something or scoop something because your brain thinks you’ll get hurt moving too fast because you can’t see your surroundings and because of that food falls off. As for knowing what’s on your plate, once you’ve done it enough times you’ll start to realize your utensils can be used like your Kane except it’s meant to feel the textures of the food that’s there and you’ll start to associate the textures with what the food might be, you’ll never be exactly right every time but that’s how you would eat something that’s not finger food
Using your fork as a makeshift cane to find food on your plate can also be used to hover around the pice you intend to get to feel if it’s the right size that’s just a fact of how blind people eat
sweet sounds of music thank you for that anwer, my grandma might not learn that anymore but it definately gave me some insight. It proves the point made though, blind people eat differently than sighted people.
My grandma became blind later in life too and had a lot of problems eating independently. She had to have people either feed her or guide her to her food
I can't eat in a dim lighted room.. gives me anxiety. I don't know why, but I have to have full lights on.. Doesn't really excuse the question though?
I really don’t understand the “how do you know when you’re having your period?” question. I’m not blind, but I assume that bloating and cramps are just as obvious/miserable for all women regardless of their level of eyesight.
I get none of that. Many women don't. Why do you think ALL women get that?
Some of these questions are pretty silly 😂😂
Howsenselessdeath Howpreciouslife Trust me, people do ask them though.
Howsenselessdeath Howpreciouslife I didn't expect to see you here xD Hii
I know right. Ilyy 💋. Xo
"I'm blind" "can you see?" oh god🤦🏻♀️😂😂
Howsenselessdeath Howpreciouslife I don't think the eating one is.
We do look to scoop things up, or know where to stab it with a fork (Where things are on a plate). Unless like she mentioned, she eats mostly hand held foods
I can’t believe people ask you about your period lol wtf?!! I know I’m about to have my period before it even starts. Cramps. Tears. Chocolate cravings. Come on people. >.
I mean to be fair... Since ive been on the pill I have no idea when it's coming as its not painful anymore, it's also very not regular (my last cycle was 53 days and the one before was 26!), sometimes it lasts 2 days with barely any blood and sometimes 5 with more. My period comes out of nowhere and shocks me even as a sighted person 🤣 before the pill however, yeah... I knew it was coming when I started throwing up from pain. 😭 TMI over. 😜
@@nava2827 as I said above...thats not the case for every woman. Now I'm on the pop pill I have no symptoms or signs of it and it's only comes every 2-3 months. I'm on my period now and as I use a menstrual cup... I genuinely had forgotten I was until now 😂 woops.
I'm actually completely normal just I have cramps when I'm not on my period
Many things make me doubt if I'm a human🤣
I only get cramps the 2 day. Just imagine if I waited until I was in pain... it would be horrible 🤣. But, I would never ask that question.
I don’t have cramps really so when I heard that as a question it actually kind of got me wondering too
And almost a year later she actually made a video about how she knows she's on her period
@Ken Lompart Why?
and she got the tampon sponsorship
@Ken Lompart I don't need to ask but did you need to tell?
rainbow river, a lot of guys are squeamish about the topic of menstration; don’t worry about it 😜
As a red-head, I have been asked if my boyfriend was also a ginger. when i did date a guy who dyed his hair red, similar to mine, everyone suddenly assumed we were siblings. Ugh. It's not just sighted people to blind people, it's a kind of person who doesn't check their question before asking.
My husband has RP too, so he has no perphrial vision and no night vision, but he has some central vision and wears glasses. He constantly is asked "You're not really blind are you?" No, he just has a long white cane cuz he's dapper like that. 🤣
melime19 yep, I am blind and it always amazes me when people see her with a cane and they’ll tell me OK follow me or go that way and then turn right stuff like that as if they don’t understand at all, I try to give the benefit of the doubt though, sometimes people are just super occupied and maybe they don’t register that it’s a cane for blindness and they just think that it’s some type of an orthopedic cane which is obviously a lot more common
zahra shah Agreed. I try to give the benefit of the doubt too. It's just annoying when even after you take the time to explain, they seem to think because he has some sight, he doesn't need the cane. Well, yeah, he could probably get around, but he'll get hung up on anything chin height and down. We try to stay patient, though. People just dont always understand.
I'm so happy that this video has subtitles! I'm not deaf, but I'm glad that all deaf folks can enjoy and understand your videos. I also just find subtitles very helpful because you are so eloquent and I love your way with words!
Diana Montero most videos from big youtubers have subtitles on their videos
tbh idk any big channels besides pewdiepie that puts subtitles and he doesnt do the subtitles
@@eviechapman1847 But they're mostly auto-generated meaning half of the time they are wrong.
They take time to make tbf
Nope you just have subs on
Hey Molly great channel. I am a 35 year old man who grew up with a speech impediment and it stunk answering people's questions and also the part where people talk in front of you to your "handler"! Like, 'does it like fish heads and bones?' lol. Its awesome your doing this for the kids of today, I wish this was around back when I was a kid in high school. Anyhow, I'm good now, I'm married (with a non speech impedimented woman, if you have to ask) and have three kids. It is awesome.
Not really a question, more like a remark. When I was 16, I got badly depressed and most of the few people I told (including my parents) just said "You don't even know what depression is, you're too young to know how hard life can get."
After a while, my parents took me to a shrink and the shrink told them I was actually in a severe depression and needed help and space from them. (I'm fine now tho :D)
As a dwarf (I'm 3ft at 18 years old), I can relate to having a "scripted answer" to certain questions (ie "why are you so short?" and "how old are you?" said in a baby voice). I agree on the fact that I would rather you ask than assume, just make sure not to be rude about it! :)
That baby voice thing while asking those questions is really rude
What kind of person just fucking asks someone "why are you so short?" I mean,...WTF? I dunno, I'd be a total bitch and be all like "Why are you so ugly?" back at them! ; P But man, being grown and treated like a kid would be even worse!
hmm well I'm 5'2" and thin and nearly 37 and I still get mistaken sometimes for a 12 year old or someone in high school although lately people have been guessing I'm in my 20s. They tell me I'm supposed to be fatter with a bigger bust and wrinkles and grey hairs to be my age...and I'm just like uh some people are just size 0 with a small bust and non-wrinkly skin. Every once a year or so I get one grey hair. Then they're like "Oh I bet you pull it out." I say "no I just leave it there until it falls out on its own, I don't care..." then they're like "aging is bad. being tiny is bad." and I'm like "I find it to have lots of advantages like being able to fit in a tiny airplane bathroom, spelunking, tree climbing, being very aerodynamic when dancing, not having a big body or bust to get in the way when I'm backpacking, being able to sleep on my front if I feel like it...and being the same height as all the locals in Madagascar so they are more likely to accept me as one of them and I can more quickly integrate into their culture to save the environment with them..." so yeah this annoys them to see a woman that is okay with her body. If I'm not okay that's when they feel they can bully me to try to gain power over me or something. So they want us to be not okay. but to maintain our self esteem we should just not hand our power over to them and say we are okay with our small bodies. I like saying "Good things come in small packages." But this isn't the best response because then they start thinking about sex and I have to shut them up because they are being crass.
@@supergeeky7529 yeah it has happened to me a lot and I have also been called a kid or a child literally (mostly by men) but sometimes by women too. I'm not technically experiencing dwarfism, I am just a petite thin women who is 5'2" (average human height on this planet for women is 5'4") but lots of people throughout my life living in America have made fun of me for being too small and I have even been fired for being this size.
Im not blind but i am half deaf and pepole all ways think when i say "im half deaf" there like oh ok and then either 1. talk louder , 2. yell in my ear or 3. Whisper in my ear and then ask if i heard them like no i didnt but good try anyway
Emi West We are the same. I am also half deaf. I hate it because when I tell a new friend about it they don’t believe me. Also I am cursed with constant ringing. So weird
Leah Andersen ah, you have tinnitus thats the constant ringing sound
HSHSHS 'no i didnt but good try' IM DYING
Now I am wondering: what helps for you being half deaf? I have to admit that I start talking louder when I know someone has bad hearing. But what does actually help for you? I would like to be able to do the right thing!
I have trouble hearing on one ear and can't always understand what people are saying even if the volume is fine. What helps me is talking at a reasonable pace and not mumbling. Else rephrasing helps a lot if I didn't understand it the first three times.
thank you! I came upon yr channel and this is the first video i watch and i luv it sm! I never knew these questions bothered people and yr reaction to some of them were really fun cause it gave me a different perspective on life!
How do you eat?
That is a good one. I too am registered blind. In the UK we have Guide Dogs for the Blind which is a charity. Our local group ran a fundraiser where the guests were blindfolded for their meal. Sighties make such a mess because when they eat the push food around their plates rather than bringing the food to their fork or spoon.
Love your content. I am working through it at the moment. The one with Tas and George moved me to tears.
How about the one “then how many fingers am I holding up”??? 😂😂😂
Taylor Vanhoy I’m used to that question but I’m not blind
People: TAKE OFF YOUR GLASSES
Me; *takes off glasses*
People: HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?!
Me; wow. I can totally see without my trusty spectacles. Totally
MaKayla Hufflepuff I know right they say that and I tell them but there right in front of my face and they say “why do you wear glasses you can see fine”
Me: “take the stupidity out of your brain”
MaKayla Hufflepuff just say a number above 10 like 857 in a sarcastic voice. I have been doing that for three years now
Taylor Vanhoy kills me
Before I retired I was constantly asked how I can teach without eyesight. I responded, teachers require vision not eyesight. Best quip ever😋
Good one! :D
...now I am wondering though: did you never have to grade written papers?
pieniaurinko good question....yes. I used magnifying systems. Although I am legally blind and ex., cannot see a person in front of me, I can see movement and colors. I use a variety of audio programs, read/write, dragon naturally speaking and a host of magnifying systems to read and respond. I had a professor who is completely blind. He had a couple of seminary students read essays and exams to him and then he'd comment and grade each one. Being blind falls on a spectrum. The only thing we most assuredly have in common is that we meet the medical and legal definition of being blind.
@@socratesaristotle101 Wow, thanks for the reply! I know Molly listed the question about using technology among her 'don't ask me about this' list, and I don't want to be rude. It's just that since I don't need them, some inventions/programs/etc. completly pass me by or I don't realize the specific utility. Like I know that computers have audio in- and output, but I only recently realized that this means a blind or near blind person can use voice command to use programs or surf the web.
pieniaurinko . 😀 all of the communication tools today also help to bridge the gap ex. A person who is deaf can now be understood without using sign language by a person who is blind.
A person who cannot speak and who is a quadriplegic can, for the first time have their thoughts heard by family members and healthcare workers using gaming devices like the emotiv epoc. Not one word needs to be spoken. Now, thoughts are exchanged and a disabled person can get their needs met with this new form of communication. It's a great time to be living. Miracles using and including technologies are taking place every day
@@socratesaristotle101 Using another way to communicate: 👍💪🙌😀
Wow 😳 Girl... Like NONE of these questions have EVER been in my brain 🧠 and I'm sighted. I'm just ummm gobsmacked! 🙃 Lemme just say you're Amazing! ❤️ Thank you for helping the world be a better and BRIGHTER 🔆 place my dear Molly. You are so beautiful, keep it up!!
SPONSOR HER ALREADY NOW THAT IVE HEARD THE QUESTION IM SO CURIOUS ABOUT THE ANSWER
Felix Reyes
She feels it
I mean I can feel when mine starts
And the cramps help too
silvercloudsone not everyone gets cramps with their period. Some get it before others never do
Yeah I feel it before I see it.
I was curious too because I don't always get cramps and then most times when I do, they come way before and stop before the flow or don't come until after it starts, so I'd be up shit creek without a paddle on that one. :/
You feel it, 100%, haven’t you ever had that moment where you’re out with friends at a cafe or at school and the second you stood up, you felt it? And you knew you had to get to a bathroom ASAP. You just can tell by the feeling of it. I won’t go into too much details because it’s TMI but people like to be dry. And you can tell when you’re not dry all throughout your period and that tells you what’s going on.
For me, my biggest thing when I first went blind was worrying if I had any spots on my pants. Because even though I could feel my period, I was always so anxious that I didn’t get to a bathroom in time. Most women can see whether they’ve had an issue or not but I couldn’t, because after awhile, it dries. I had to ask my mom a lot to make sure it wasn’t on my pants. Thankfully she never saw anything so I guess I did a pretty good job ;) haha it’s funny because I spent so long agonizing over my period, because my periods are so heavy due to endometriosis. And really I shouldn’t have worried at all because it really is easy to tell what’s going on without seeing it. Hope this helps! Sorry if I did get too TMI in the end lol
Hello beautiful person scrolling
Hannah Jane thanks
Hannah Jane thx
Hey 👋 everyone is beautiful and u too ☺
Wassup
Hannah Jane hi
First off, I LOVE your channel. I have Spina Bifida so I understand your frustrations at community asked questions. My one that drives me crazy the most is, "Can I help you with that? Then before I answer the person starts to "help". No people you may not help unless you hear me say yes. I am quite capable of doing many things on my own. I do appreciate the offer though.
You and I think alike in that no question is off limits because in answering those pesky questions we politely educate those with the questions. I'm grateful for your channel. Keep up the great work I'll keep watching. :-)
Oops typo in the first paragraph... common not community. Yeah, I'm a dork too. Chuckle
Really glad I came across your channel! I really admire you because you’re so happy and genuine!
I was curious about the period too, because sometimes us sighted girls dont even realize that we have started our period until we are covered in blood while wearing khakis lol
Bailey Brian I was thinking the same thing, that one question I’d like to know
Bailey Brian I have a pretty good idea when mine is going to start, just by the way my stomach feels. I’m usually never wrong. I remember one time in Thailand though when I was in hospital on an IV and the day after I started my period and I have no idea. Thankfully though, are usually know when I’m getting it. Mine is irregular, so not every 28 days. But I really do know when it’s going to start, trust me. I work in southeast Asia though and I have to admit that squat toilets are not fun to use on a moving train.
emaildavinam
your squat toilet got me. that does sound rough! 🙄❤️😋!
Mine were really predictable before the pill, but on the pill there is literally no sign. Like no pain, no cravings, no mood changes... And they only come every 1-3 months so I can't predict by time. So yeah, blood is the first sign for me now.
I was wondering why this was a question because without fail I can feel when mine is starting I'll literally be laying in bed with my guy and suddenly jump up and be like I'm starting my period and run to the bathroom lol I've never really had an issue with not knowing so interesting to see some people aren't aware.
I'm visually impared, I see things floating around my vision which is very distracting and blocks a lot of my vision and I do not have perifual vision. When I tell people this they go stand next to me and say *CAN YOU SEE ME?* (No I can't) or the get obnoxusly close to my face and say *CAN YOU SEE ME NOW* (Yes but get out of my face I can see you when you're are within normal distance from me) It's super weird.
why is this in my recommend? I don’t know anyone who’s blind-
i still watched it
I don’t think that’s the point of the video 😂
Me too
This is cool! I feel like molly is able to love people for the kind of person they are. That is just so cool to me. There is so many people in the world who like people just because they’re visually attractive. Molly doesn’t have the commodity. It’s cool that she is able to get to know people for who they truly are not what they look like! LOVE YOU MOLLY!!!!
So this might be a weird question but regarding sighties and food, what are your feelings of the saying “your eyes are bigger then your stomach”? I’m constantly wanting to eat more then I can because I see it and while my eyes are telling me that looks good and I want to eat it my stomach says no. Have you ever had that problem where you are full and then you smell popcorn or bbq and suddenly you are hungry again? I feel as a sighted person I eat more because I can see it rather then because I’m hungry, like I have to finish my plate of food even if I’m full. Thoughts?
Tinathefish123 I think this is a very good question and I would also love to hear thoughts about this!
I’m visually impaired, which means I don’t normally have as much vision loss as Molly. 1. It’s a common idiom. It’s not something we’d get offended over. 2. While visually appreciating food is awesome, the lack of seeing food isn’t going to make us eat less or not overindulge.
Me too Tina. I can go most of the day and forget to eat if I'm super busy and I don't encounter any food. At the same time I can be full to busting but if I see a pretty dessert I suddenly want to eat it.
Are women asking you about how you know when you get your period? Because I almost always know I have mine because I feel it start. Seems understandable to me.
You can definitely feel it when it starts
but how do you know when it ends ^^ that's my stupid question
Interesting. I’ve never FELT when it starts, I’ll only start to feel shit in the middle of a cycle. I also have a highly irregular cycle, so I’d need my vision for that
I have a very very light period and don’t know when mine starts until I see it. I get that’s not how a lot of people are but not everyone is the same
I just get bitchy a day before.
I'm deaf in one ear, and I constantly get the question "well then how can you hear me?"......I have another ear...... I always tell them to ask the question in their head first before asking 😂 I also have pretty terrible eyesight, but was "watching" [aka listening and seeing colors] TV without my glasses on and my sister said "wait...how are you watching TV? Are you even able to see the colors without your glasses?"....no my vision doesn't turn black and white with no glasses.....people never fail to surprise me, I just have to laugh and move on. Keep it up Molly, we never let the dumb questions get us down! ❤
I have recently got into a relationship with a guy who has a visual impairment. And I am sighted. And I knew about it from when we went on our first date, and it did not matter to me in the slightest. We’ve been together for about 3 months now 😊

I’m not deaf, but I’m fluent in American Sign Language and whenever I tell someone that my number one question I get asked is.... “so can you read Braille?” ...I wish I could say I was joking but this is the most common response I get 😂
I want to learn sign language
Azsydnee143 what?

Your response:
“Darkness”
Don K
I am going to start using that answer
Thanks
ALWAYS say 3 sure sometimes you will get it wrong, but the times you dont will be totally worth it
Mia #9 oh my God I can’t stand when I get asked that question. It’s like, that’s the go to question that everyone wants to ask. It’s so annoying. It’s like, I tell people I’m visually impaired. Or legally blind, if you want to refer to it that way. Meaning I can still see shapes, colors, and stuff like that, but only up until a certain point, and then it’ll blur. But anyway, everyone always asks me that question, and I’m just like, I don’t know. Sometimes I just start randomly guessing, and sometimes I will actually get it right. But after certain point, I’m just like, please don’t ask me that question anymore. It gets really annoying. but… One day I should be evil, and do what you said. LOL. If it’s someone who is being a. dick that is.
Her seeing eye/guide dog is so beautiful I love watching Molly’s videos
I got another one,"hOw CaN yOu SeE gAlLoP?" 😂 I'm so annoying
I'd guess it's more she can sense him - hear and feel him moving behind her.
I think for sighted people we don't necessarily consider our senses in isolation very often, so we can forget the other ways we're aware of what's around us
I think the most silliest question I have gotten when someone comes over to my house is " do you have a bathroom"? I'm like, know I use the back yard.
LMAO!
*no
Lillie Ellis Thanks for noticing. Does it bother you that much where I should go edit that?
I'd reply with, "No, we shit in wooden buckets and dump them outside when it gets too full. Y'know, like they did in the 1700s. Here, let me get you one."
Lmao! I hear that question all the time, i don't get why person word it like that. Like just say "may i use your bathroom" Why do they make it sound like you don't have a bathroom? lmao
I have a twin sister so insert all the cliche twin questions. I also have a brother with disabilities, and he was never diagnosed with anything so the number one question my sister and I would get growing up was “what’s wrong with your brother?” And our response would be “I don’t know is he bleeding or something?”
Mandi Cardosi lol
That sounds so insensitive! Because my mum works with disabled children, I always feel upset for them when people treat them differently (especially when they talk down to them like they’re younger than they are - it’s so silly!). I am a multiple too (but I’m a triplet) and I get very tired of all the telepathy questions and who’s the [insert personality trait here] one. Oh and all the ones about sleeping arrangements, like who even cares? Haha
Taylah Steele I was laughing at the "I don't know is he bleeding or something?" part
RedK5 haha, yes I know :) I was saying asking if there was something wrong with him was insensitive, sorry if I came across as rude! I wasn’t saying you were insensitive at all :)
Taylah Steele OK.
Also I have had kids asking me what is wrong with my neck (the hole is from a trachea that used to be there) I only find it annoying. Also they ask about my eye. You can pretend not to hear them
I feel your pain, being obese male, I get asked very similar questions, in fact they are often very crude, even being denied fast food. I have a glandular disorder, and have to take steroids and I get asked very similar questions about my weight. I love how we have so much in common, your videos make me happy. I sometimes just feel alone, do you have those times and how do you deal with your aggravations of life? I sometimes stay home for months just to avoid the public at times.
I might have just binged watched a bunch of her vids and I absolutely love her personality and everything about her. she is so inspiring and amazing
I love that you call us sighties omg love you Molly!
