Blind Masking "Fake it till you make it: #BlindTok: E:2

In Episode 2 of #BlindTok, Murray Elbourne and Tammy Jackson tackle the unspoken reality almost everyone in the vision loss community knows intimately: faking it till you make it. That exhausting daily performance of nodding along when someone points at something you can't see, agreeing with details you can't make out, and pouring every ounce of energy into appearing fine when things are anything but. They get real about the two sides of masking, the fear of being judged as less than by others and the quieter internal battle of just not wanting to feel different from everyone else. From the workplace to relationships to the simple act of being out with friends, they unpack the emotional toll of hiding your vision loss instead of living your life, why accepting it for yourself has to come before you can let anyone else in, and the powerful realization that your vision may have changed but you haven't. If you've ever smiled and nodded through something you couldn't see or spent more energy pretending than actually being present, this episode is your permission to stop performing and start being honest about what you need.
