The sign language question totally cracks me up because my husband is Deaf and I can't tell you how many hostesses have handed him a braille menu. I don't know what these people are thinking.
My blind husband was given the subtitled glasses for hearing impairment at the movie theater... We had a good laugh at it because he has frequently told me how subtitles are his nemesis. Why do people confuse these deafness with blindness?!?
I have a cornea disease. My brother still asks me if cars are coming on my side when we are on a crossroad. One day I sad no cars on my side. He moved off then jammed on the breaks and swore at me as a car flew past. I said dude you know I cant see.
Personally I don't think this is entirely crazy. Subconsciously a sighted person is checking things like lip movement and facial expressions to try and fill in the gaps if they miss anything the person is saying. My nan used to tell me she could hear better when she had glasses on :) but not everyone needs raised voices thrown at them 🙂
@@BrownedHound Do you think blind people are completely incapable of doing anything? That they're helpless and that there are no sort of tools that help blind people navigate their lives? You should probably watch more of this girl's videos because you are extremely ignorant. To call someone a liar for being blind is one of the most disgusting things a person can do. Imagine going through a traumatic experience and literally going BLIND just for people to constantly tell you that you're not actually blind. And there is something called "speech to text." There are SO many tools to help blind people use the internet, like tools that convert speech into text, text into speech, verbally explain what images are, etc. Next time, think and research before you embarrass yourself and hurt someone with a comment like this.
When she said "do you know sign language" and the camera zoomed in on her expression, an AD began to play, and I thought she just ended the video with that look and I cracked up hard lol
@@jbor688 My answer to "Can you see me?" when I'm not wearing my glasses or contacts is "Not clearly but there is a blurry idiot standing in front of me." If you're more than four inches away from my face you are just a blur.
Vision related stories:Once somebody was like.. it's so sad you can't see the world in full color, you have no idea how pretty it is! And I was like.. what? I'm don't have dull color vision, everything is just blurry. Then to justify themselves they said: what color is my sweater (I answered the right color, forgot now though, let's say purple) and when I answered correctly, she said, no, it's actually yellow. I was like.. bruh. I'm not an idiot and I see color.
I won't lie: I thought you didn't look blind either when I first saw in Shane's video. Not because of something physical or some cliche like the sunglasses. It's just that you're so expressive with your eyes. I never met a blind person before so my basis was mostly movies and tv. Every time there's a blind character they're always make so the actor have their eyes unfocused and they never move their eyes or head. So even if they're talking with someone next to them they still seem to be staring straight ahead. So to see you with your eyes on someone's face while you're talking to them and even rolling your eyes to the camera, it was surprising. And I also realized how ignorant I was... So... sorry about that. I've been watching your videos and loving them so much.
Why does anyone think that anything shown in the media is real? Every media production is just that... a production. Nothing on TV, on TH-cam, on Netflix, or any other media outlet isn’t orchestrated to illicit a specific response.
@Caramel Cupcake Wow. It's almost not even insulting because that is so dumb. It's hard not to be mad at them for that, honestly, but I really think that people today are so self-focused that they aren't really listening to people most of the time. I just can't believe that she did that lol, at least she knew sign language hahaha
Kiwi They typed cause you can ask siri to turn on voice so when you touch something like youtube it says youtube so you know if your clicking the right stuff
A friend of mine is blind and when people ask me questions about him like "would he like a refill?" I politely say "I don't know, you'll have to ask him" and they always look kind of shocked and taken back, like 'wait, what? i can't do that'! people are funny sometimes.
JesusFreak77 ppl do that with me and my aunt but she is hearing impaired and has hearing aids and is blind so I guess I get that more, but she can hear so like wtf bro
JesusFreak77 I’m legally blind and I’ll be using my cane at school and people come up to me and my best friend and they will do that exact same thing and my friend says the exact same thing that you say
Ugh, the part where she told about being asked "what happened to you" was so relatable. I'm not blind, but I suffer from clinical depression and often when I said it to someone who didn't know they went like: "Oh! Why? What happened?". And it really bugged me and I couldn't understand why I felt so upset when I heard it. With time I realised it was an incredibly inappropriate question. Like, wtf man? I say I have depression and you're literally asking why? What are you expecting me to tell you? Do you want to hear about how my parents were neglectful and left me alone for hours when I was like 5, and then were disappointed on me if I acted like a child and cried? Are you expecting me to casually tell you about my history of sexual abuse when I was a teen? Then what the fuck is that question? Do you want to hear about the meds I take or how I don't really know if my disorder is like, inherited from my depressed parents and maybe there's just chemicals that my brain doesn't make in the right quantities? What the fuck? I don't have to prove myself to anyone, if I told you I have depression is for you to be aware that maybe some tasks will take me longer than for other people, or that I might have a bit of trouble for certain things, not for you to quiz me on it like you're asking which my favourite icecream flavour is. (Sorry for the rant but seriously what is wrong with people??)
Yea...my go to answer to questions like that is usually along the lines of "I am not obligated to share that information with you." It tends to make people really uncomfortable...
I would love to see you follow a Bob Ross tutorial. Obviously following his voice only. You seem very creative and I think this would be a fun and interactive video. Please don’t take it in the wrong way I mean it with all good intentions.
No mistakes, just happy accidents! I'd love to see her use something like glow-in-the-dark paint and follow along, then "see" the end product light up when the lights are turned off
Molly: people say why do you have tattoos when you can’t see them and why do you wear makeup if you can’t see it Me: Molly just say then why do I wear clothes if I can’t see them It would be a really good comeback
If a blind person is on a nude beach. Is it more an advantage or disadvante not to seeing the other people naked? And does she/he has also to take of her/his clothes? ;-)
My son was made blind by brain surgery when he was a couple of days old. He’s now 7 and he gets so angry when people ask me questions about him. Like he can hear you. I understand where you’re coming from molly xx
I also hav a Lil bro. Blind from birth, some autistic behaviors aswell. He’s 9 and i totally get were you and Molly are comn from. It tinggles my triggers aswell as my bro
So sorry that your son was blinded. I hope the facility that did this has compensated you so that their mistake won't be a terrible financial burden. Also, most people are assholes and this becomes ever apparent when there is someone with a disability involved. I'm honestly puzzled as to how we have survived this long as a species.
@@LordPrometheous Fyi, that's not how brain surgery works. No one compensates you for side effects because they aren't mistakes so much as complications of saving someone's life. :/
Not trying to undermine this issue but it may be worth pointing out that some people do that even if a child has no disability. Some people just act like kids are stupid or generally don't want to communicate with them.
I love how you say that you're yourself and you just happen to be blind and how blindness hasn't changed who you are and how it's just changed how you interact with the world.
i can see that is the case for her. but and i am going to say not everyone gets to be as fortuinite as she. for many people it does make life hard for them and there is no real way around it. i am not trying to say she did not work and does not work hard i am just saying that just because things are positive in her life does not mean it can work that way for everyone no mater how hard you try.
This guy told me “why does everyone watch her? She is blind” I said “I don’t watch her because she is blind I watch her because of her personality I love her.” After that he didn’t say anything else.
That's literally why I watch anyone I watch. Great personality. Like. I've watched many people do the same things in their videos. It's easy when they have their own personality in it.
When I tell people I'm face blind, I've had some people deliberately switch names on me, just to screw with me. It just makes it that much harder for me to eventually connect their name to their hair/ accessories/ smile/ etc. So DONT DO THIS
That one sucks. I used to have that problem due to a psychiatric problem. Seeing people that effectively had no faces was rather disturbing. They sort of had faces, but they were more like rubber masks that lacked much detail. Over the years, it's something that I struggle with because I have no mind's eye and no ability to take what a person looks like now and compare that to what they looked like before a hair cut or change in clothing. I've somewhat improved by working to focus on bone structure and eye color, things that don't change as easily, but it's not easy and likely isn't even possible for somebody with actual face blindness.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Very interesting! Fortunately for me, I perceive faces fine and can see them in perfect detail, but I don't recognize them. I also can't picture people! Everything I notice about others tends to be subconscious; it throws me off too much when I try to deliberately focus on specific features.
@@eleanorbrockett6554 No worries! I'm happy to talk about it :D It's a bit of a misnomer, actually. The actual name for it is prosopagnosia, but it means I can see faces just fine, I can't recognize them. This includes close friends, my own parents, my reflection, etc. My channel teaches about it if you're interested in learning more, but I have to rely on other cues to recognize people and it's just not as accurate as the face for recognition.
I am deaf and I’ve had a hard time with adjusting to the way people treat me. A lot of people don’t know how hard it is for me to blend in. I have a cochlear and it is something that helps you hear. I had 3 failures and that is rare to happen. You are a big inspiration for me because of the way you took your disability and made it into something that is amazing. I always want to fit in and a lot of the times that does not happen and I have learned to live with that because of you. The main thing I think is so annoying that I also got a lot of attention for is my lip reading. I read lips really good and the reason for that is because when I was almost fully deaf I had to rely on people’s lips to “hear” them talk. Everybody always says “can you read my lips” and it get so annoying because I am now known as “the deaf girl” or “the girl who can read lips”. You get me through that everyday and I hope someday I could be someone amazing like you. I don’t know a lot of sign language but I do know a bit. You are good for somebody who doesn’t do sign language that often. You are so amazing♥️
I'm deaf too, and I totally get your struggle. Keep advocating for yourself and eventually you will meet people that won't see you as "the deaf girl." Trust me. It may take a while, but you already clearly can read lips better than I can, so you're doing GREAT!!! ;) (Also, THREE CI failures??? I can't even imagine, I've only had one and that was awful!)
Comments I often get walking in the streets with my daughter: - When does she get an eye operation? (Hello, how are you, great day isn't it) - They will fix her right? (I didn't know she was broken, she looks normal to me) - Her eyes are not normal! Go see a doctor today before it's too late. (That's a great idea! I never thought about it) - My grandson had "this" too... (Could you explain what exactly you mean with "this") (Daughter was born with cataract, strabismus and nystagmus) Anyway, your channel is really inspirational.
I would be *very* surprised if her parents didn't take her to an ophthalmologist as soon as they noticed that she couldn't see as clearly as other children.
@@somethingclassified2286 She grew up in Canada and they have free health care so they probably did. I think she said once she was diagnosed at 5 and it got worse at 13/14 though I might be wrong about that.
If you didn’t say you were blind, I wouldn’t have noticed because of how well your eye contact is and everything. I honestly love how open you are and how awesome you are. You’re just amazing. You’re like a role model tbh. Also I love your dog. He’s so cute. When people have guide dogs, do you have to fill out a lot of papers and can you pick out the dog you want? I’ve always wondered that. Sorry for the paragraph. I’m new to your channel and Oml I love you sm. I would love to be like one of your friends because you seem amazing.
How do you shave?? I have a hard time shaving as it is so i just want to know. Thx for keeping my hopes up. My sister went blind 2 years ago and she is to young to shave so I can't ask her that. She tells me that you are the one person who keeps her beliving that she has the best future. Thank you for making her happy I have never seen her happier since she started watching you. Thanks
Also, you don't have to shave. Body hair is natural and there's nothing wrong with choosing not to remove it for any reason. You say this as if your sister will *have* to shave one day and just nope. Noone of any of the multitude of genders out there has to shave any part of their body unless they want to.
"Can I pet your guide dog?" "No, you can't." I RELATE! as a service dog handler myself, every time, guess what majority of service dog and guide dog handlers, will say no. Our life is in our dogs four paws, and our dogs NEED to stay focused and not get distracted. It's super important to leave a service dog or guide dog alone and not distract or pet them, they have to stay focused on their handlers.
I was always taught when they are in their harness, or the best or just work gear to not ask. They need to focus, I was taught the only time to ask is when they aren't in work mode.
That’s always weird, when someone finds out you have one thing, and they start acting like you have everything. Like, I have a physical delay, that doesn’t mean I don’t speak English.
For me it's people completely ignoring me and petting my psychiatric dog I'm like nope he sure isn't here to help me but for your pure enjoyment to pet 😂 please ignore me and go ahead and pet
Actually its also kind of illegal to distract guide dogs and ask to pet them or calling their name. You wont be arrested, but its VERY disrespectful to do that and the dogs are usually very protective and could start growling which is distracting them from thier job
It's not illegal to ask to pet them (obviously) but it's probably unsafe to pet them and illegal to without asking or without a 'yes' from the guide dogs owner. Also, just an opinion of mine; I don't think it's disrespectful at all to ask to pet a guide dog as long as you word it properly. Eg. "Will it affect your dog if I pet it? I just think he/she's really adorable" or something I like that. I'm not blind or have any disabilities (to my knowlege) so I wouldn't be sure if even that's the right way to ask. I agree on your statement of it being disrespectful and illegal to interfere with any form of help that a disabled person needs to use or have. Eg. Wheel chair or a well- guide dog :) Idk why I'm writing this, idk maybe it just bothered me that you said "and ask to pet them" lol. I'm wierd like that haha Thanks for reading this comment by the way, enjoy your 2019
Sunniesdaylees while polite phrasing is nice (better than why won’t you let me pet your dog) or just drive by petting, most of us prefer it if you don’t ask at all (not to be rude). I get on average about 10 people asking to pet each day (unless I’m grocery shopping, the. I’ll get 10 in that trip alone). I personally have fatigue and migraine problems and food allergies I have to be extremely careful about. It takes all my energy just to shop for an hour. Having a short conversation with 10 people adds a bunch of time I honestly don’t really have. I know some handlers allow it (to each their own) but I also will go non verbal due to exhaustion and/or pain So, many people think I’m just being rude and ignoring them when really I just can’t talk. I do appreciate the people who can take no for an answer and don’t push it or get all entitled ( honestly that’s the majority of people) so I try tot hank them for asking. I also like the parents who teach their kids not to distract her by screaming, calling to her, or petting her vs the parents who point her out to their kids and have them bark or call to her (that’s worse than the people asking to pet because you’re teaching your kid it’s okay). And the most frustrating people are the people who talk to Mochi instead of me. I had one lady behind me in the grocery line and I gave Mochi a treat for tasking and she said (pretending to be my dog) “I want more treats, i. Saw where you got those treats from. Give me more treats. I love treats” and stuff for like 2 min. I hope I didn’t come across as rude.
@@pucamisc I'm fortunate not to have these types of struggles I so I wouldn't understand entirely but I'm pretty understanding. This would annoy me too, I know it's nothing similar but it's kind of like someone asking me to draw something for them because I'm kinda okay at drawing and I also feel rude when I say no. It doesn't happen all the time because I'm not exposed to people seeing them all the time but if it did I would get really pissed. Sometimes I do draw something though. I don't feel like your being rude by not replying either though. I'm not one to ask to pet a guide dog either but I understand the thought process who does ask :)) But I'll never understand the thought process of those who get thier children to call or yell out to them, like hello? That woman who was pretending to be your dog was really disrespectful and your not being rude by being annoyed by it

Patrick Szabo THAT SO RUDE I mean I hate it when someone takes off my friends glasses and say “Can you see me?!” Guess what I do and say... Guessed yet I say “LEAVE HER ALONE”and I..... kinda push them into a table......
I like those "why do you do these things that you can't see?" I mean, I don't sit with a mirror in front of me 24/7 but I still wanna do my makeup. Here's a list of things that even sighted people usually don't see more than 5% of the time: Your own makeup Your lash extensions Your hairstyle (most of it anyway) Your earrings Any tattoo that isn't on your forearm etc. A nice back of your shirt or dress
I don't have a tattoo. Makeup. Eyelash extensions(even though i can see my own eyelashes). I can see my hairstyle(I have hair down to my butt.) And I don't wear earrings. And I can see the back of my shirt cuz my neck is flexible af
Yes but the point is we know if it looks good even if we don't see it all the time. If i was blind I wouldn't bother/risk having a tattoo if I didn't know how it looks
I saw you at Disneyland during VidCon and you were so nice and sweet. I appreciate the few minutes you took to take a photo with me and trying to make Gallop get in the photo.😂
I hate the "you don't look" comments. I have MS and use a wheelchair, and people will say things like "you don't look disabled" or "your too young to be disabled" like wtf man
It's possible stuff like that is meant more as a compliment, but I think Molly mentions it in another vid, the last one aobut the dumb questions. She doesn't like how it kind of sounds accusatory, like the person is suspicious that she isn't really blind.
@iNiyama I know, I had rather them say "I'm so sorry" than make me feel the way I do when they say that crap. (also I have depression too, sucks ass, I get you hun)
Syndi Griner-Owens I get those comments all the time. Especially the your too young one. I take 15 different pill 2-4times a day to be able to live a normal life. And your trying to tell me I’m not disable just because I refuse to use a wheelchair in stores or long walks? Or because I’m not a certain age. Even the government doesn’t want to accept disabled people as disable. It heartbreaking!
I’m cross eyed, so when I take of my glasses, I see two of EVERYTHINGG. And people just hold up numbers, and wave there hands in front of my face and there just like *”CaNN yOU SeE THiS?”* And I’m just like, *”BOIII”*
"Why do your eyes look normal?" It might just be me, but it seems that your eyes shake or move quickly back and forth when they're "supposed to be" stationary. Idk I may be imagining it, but it's a small and interesting thing I've picked up on. Edit: I've been informed that it is a condition called nystagmus. Google it if you wanna learn more. (Thanks comment peeps)
but you can see she looks to her right when she wants to remember something, and to her left if if she wants to imagine or come up with something. Really interesting how that is embedded in the brain.
Puppylillies, thats somewhat normal for a lot of blind people especially if you are Born blind. My little brother also has these uncontrolled and rapid eyemovements
I think we all noticed it. We just didn't feel the need to comment on it. I figure she probably already knows about it since I am pretty sure she has a doctor. I personally think its kind of cute. And like someone else said, yes your eyes move to different spots depending on what you are thinking for most people. I don't think it has anything to do with if you can see or not.
People would say "you dont look blind" because she is able to focus and pin-point her eyes to an object, and come back to it everytime she takes her eyes off of it. Look how she can look into the camera without any trouble. When someone is able to focus on objects like that all the time, its hard to notice that shes blind. Its the first thing you notice about a blind person. They are looking into the abyss
C,S,D Earl I am partial blind so they test you on the shapes you can see .i see almost the same thing she does but only on my left eye so ,yes I am somewhat “blind”
For my patients who are legally blind, I check if they can see anything on the eye chart. If they can’t, I move to them counting my fingers at 5 feet, if they can’t see it, I continue to move closer. If they can see anything, I will use a pen light and ask if they can see the light. Some can see that, some can’t. (of course this is only for NEW patients that have never been at our office before. If we have seen the patient in the past, I can usually see in the chart what they’ve done to test vision in the past. Then I take a history, we ALWAYS dilate, if a visual correction (glasses Rx) can improve anything, I will do a refraction and see if I can get them to the big E, 20/400, on the chart. Then, they go to the doctor and they check the surface of the eye, the macula, the retina, all parts of the eye and I scribe for them, which is recording how they grade the severity of things and go from there. Blind people should always see an Ophthalmologist, an eye doctor with MD, with surgical skills. Whereas an Optometrist doesn’t hold a medical doctor degree and just goes to optometry school, focusing on refractive issues like glasses, rather than medicine.
Good question I am blind in the left eye and 20/200 in the right with optic nerve hypoplasia (This means I did not develop optic nerves during development in the uterus) I go go to a low vision specialist dr. who is renowned in research and I only trust him. my appointments take anywhere from one hour to three hours he rigorously tests me to make sure that my eyes are working as well as they can be given my condition which is congenital and incurable. and charts everything with technology I go through all sorts of machines and tests to Make sure that my eyes are staying the same And not deteriorating. Tests that others would take to check for typical eye conditions that come along w aging like glaucoma but also to check things like my field of vision and to see if the number of optic nerves I have working is still the same. I have been going to him since I was a baby so for 40 years I don’t trust anybody else. He is amazing and really spends an incredible amount of time with each of his patients. And explains everything he’s doing along the way.
@@mariahandsonsyour comment was so informative but it took me back to third grade when people asked me what my vision was and I said 20/450 because I knew my prescription and they always gave me the really confused "what" face especially adults and I'd just roll my eyes and be like "I. Cant. See. The. Big. E. Better?" As a kid that bothered me but now at 21 I laugh at peoples reactions. Also the reaction when I tell them I can't see anything farther than an inch or so away without my glasses or contacts.
People ask me questions about my autistic son when he's standing right beside me. Person: Would your son like some juice? Me: He's right here. Ask him. Person: *awkward silence* All. The. Time.
Isn't it just weird to feed things to other people's children without a parent's permission? I always feel really uncomfortable interacting with children because I worry their parent's might be angry with me. Stranger danger and all. -just an alternative point of view
@@gebogift5562 Yes. Its hard to understand when you have not experienced it. But you're right. Its just anoying when you still see that treatment when you are 16. FX
@@gebogift5562 if it's a little kid (single digit age) and the parents are there, ask the parents if it's ok for you to give them something. Once they consent, then you can safely assume it's ok to talk to the child. That way, you're not talking about the child like they're invisible; you're just getting permission first, as you should. Or you can ask the child, "hey, would your mom/dad mind if you have some juice/candy/animal crackers?". That way, you're not being weird about it, the child feels included, and you haven't just spoken directly to someone's child as if their parents aren't there. Either way would be fine for any mentally stable adult. If the parents take offense to that, then they are the problem, not you. What you don't do is just speak to children without acknowledging their parent/guardian whatsoever. That's a quick way to piss someone off. Otherwise, you're fine. It also works this way with dogs. Ask if it's ok for the dog to have a Slim Jim or dog treat (I used to do this all the time as a field tech). The owners would invariably say yes, and the dog was always happy to get a Slim Jim, even the ones that previously barked their heads off because I was a stranger.
From what I've gathered, I don't think Mollie really takes things too personally. She is still human and of course has bad days or moments but this is why she makes her content is to educate people.
That's exactly what I thought about! I do believe shane even asked if he could pet Gallop right away, too. Lol I also wondered if it bothered her in the moment or even after while reflecting on the interaction.
@@featherrosemain4691 Since she watched Shane's videos, maybe she was expecting that? Or maybe she was so happy to meet them that she did not get bothered. Not sure. When someone is bubbly, is always hard to realize those kind of things. How much was she hurt by their initial reaction only she knows.
I lost my best friend who was also blind. She was the strongest person I knew. She could literally do everything. Watching your videos helps me. Sending all my love to you. You rock Molly! You are gorgeous and so sweet!
-I had someone for no reason just hual off and kick me hard in the shin on my left leg. I was like "Dude, WTF? And he said, You have a fake leg, you can't feel it." I said, yea, my *RIGHT* leg is fake, but even so, you just don't kick someone like that!"
I'm pretty sure someone with a fake leg will feel the kick, due to the fact that 'this thing' is attached to them... so that seems ridiculously retarded... and disrespectful... tho' it's not like You could expect reason or any type of 'high-end' culture from a moron... world is a harsh place, at least that helps value 'gems' :D -Greetings
My Grandmother learned both Braille and American Sign Language in her youth, and worked in vocational rehabilitation for a while. When she worked as an interpreter for the deaf, she would get asked all the time if that meant she knew Braille, and she was always having to say “Yes I know Braille, but that’s for the blind. I use Sign Language for my deaf clients.” People seem to have ALWAYS mixed the two up.
I don't even like talking to strangers, period. I don't understand how people can see someone disabled and immediately think it's a free pass to interrogate them?!
I wear glasses and... Someone: take your glasses off Me:*takes off my glasses Someone: *puts two fingers up How many fingers am I holding up?

I was blind in one eye and almost had surgery on my eye. It was a scary time for me. But now thankfully I’m better! Anyway people would always take my glasses off and wave there hands in front of me and I could see them out of one eye and like you said I could also feel them doing it. Then after I told them to stop I can see them they took my glasses and broke them. Like WHAT!!!!!!!!! Who would do that to a 11 year old almost blind girl. Uggggggggggg I was sooooooooooooo mad!!!!!!!!! But ya that is my story and I appreciate you sharing your with us! Love your channel sooooooo much! 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️💕❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
Shyann, I am really so sorry that this happened to you. I had to sit here and think about what I had just read before I responded because I would surely get kicked off youtube with my description of these low life losers that did this to you.
This might be a stupid question, but when you get scared, do you close your eyes? I do that but I'm wondering if I only do that to shut off my visual input. Like when someone jump scares me, I close my eyes and kind of flinch.
Hey Molly, Thanks for making these videos. My struggle isn't the same as yours, but after serving in the Marine Corps I had a service dog and it was so irritating and frustrating when people would look at me and be scared or ask me "Hey so whats wrong with you?" "Do you have ptsd?" "Why do you have a service dog - you don't look blind" My mental health history has been difficult for me to deal with, and I don't want to open up my medical records with every person that is just curious. I hated it when people would look at me (after thousands and thousands of hours of training) and think I had a fake service dog because I didn't "look" like I had a disability. Thanks for making these videos, you help tons of people even beyond the blind community.
The part about assuming someone is their helper, I notice this a lot because I work with people with autism. The thing is, always ask the person and if there is a reason they can't answer themselves then the person with them will automatically answer for them. Always speak to the person first! The teens I work with can't really respond on their own, but I am very impressed when someone, such as a server, asks the kid I'm working with to his face if he would like a drink, and then I just respond for him. This should be the norm!
I have Autism and my step father used to use that to justify speaking for me. The worst part was that he misrepresented me. He acted like his thoughts were my thoughts.
They have blind and deaf schools. She'd be really great with kids who are going blind or are new to it. I think she could be really comforting and help them a lot
hey molly!!! i really love your channel! my girlfriend is visually impaired and it's helpful to watch these videos to know what kind of stuff to know what she has to go through. you're an incredible strong human and you're a huge inspiration to me! love you!
The "turns to another person to ask about you" isn't just for disabilities, it's pretty common when you're dealing with "language barriers" too. Have heard many a tale about Japanese folks that would only talk to the most Asian-looking person in a group of foreigners, even if they were the ones with the lowest language abilities. =v= People are weird.
i felt this one!!! i’m fluent in japanese and english (duh) but i can’t tell you how many people start speaking to my friends or family as if i can’t understand what they are saying!! sorry i don’t look as asian 😭lol
Me: takes off glasses. person: grabs glasses. Person: how many fingers am I holding up. Me: I'm not blind, I see just not very well. Person: then how many fingers am I holding up. Me: 2 duhh Person:*** puts up a third finger*** no that's 3 Me:I'AM NOT BLIND, JUST BECAUSE I WEAR GLASSES IT DOESN'T MEAN I'M BLIND. OK. Edit: Omg thx for the likes
IKR i’ve changed to contacts now but people used to do this to me or they would ask if they could try on my glasses. If I let them put them on they’re all like “it looks so weird” like yah, did you think I was just wearing them for fun?
No, you are a super hero. You inspire and educate everyone that watches your videos and if that isn’t a superpower I don’t know what is. P.S. love you 😍 😍😍😍😍♥️♥️
Wearing glasses - -take off ur glasses How many fingers am I holding up? -u look so much better without glasses -u look so different without glasses -can I wear ur glasses -if you can see without glasses why do u have them?
Oh my god I hate it when people say that I look better without glasses. I've had them for as long as I can remember and they've become a part of who I am. Being told I look better without them is ok I guess, but also mean because that's basically saying "oh you look very good without your glasses off than on". Idk, that's just how I see it
"Do you know sign language?" That question broke me. I have very little faith in humanity and the general intelligence of people. But holy hell that just broke me.
Molly, I love these videos so much! I stumbled across your content just yesterday because I want to write a blind character for a story but wanted to be sure I represented her right. Now I'm hooked, for the creation of my character but way more than that, for if/when I meet blind people, in the hopes of being a source of a smile instead of exasperation if we did end up talking. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
The can you see this waving fingers in front of people is also happens to people with glasses. They ask you to take them off and then wave the fingers.
Maggies Videos ugh I hate that my vision is so bad and kids did that all the time and it is so annoying but now with contacts i can’t just take them out for people at school all the time
The fingers thing is even more annoying because I’m legally blind, but I have enough vision to actually see the number of fingers they’re holding up…so yeah I bet a few people probably thought I was lying about my visual impairment when I was little and when other little kids asked me about it lol
Okay so this is not a question but.... I really wish you could see how beautiful you are!!! I mean seriously you are one of the most beautiful people I have every seen in my life, but you don't even know!!!! Also you could be a superhero!! With your motivation you have saved so many lives. So you might not be daredevil but you are more than just a fictional character. your help is 100% real. Thank you for just being here Molly, I love you!
I get where your coming from just not expressed in the right way. My 2 year old son is disabled & I can't/won't let him grow up hearing me saw "I wish" you could play more intense sports cause you'd be great just like your dad. "I wish" you could just play & play with kids without me having check on you every so little making sure he sits & have a break cause you'd nap like an angel. "I wish" we could go out & do all the family, festive events & not worry about you getting sick because you'd absolutely love it. I think with the disabled of course I withhold a lot of I wish this & that, but wishing on these things is just about like rubbing a lamp for a genie. We get what we get & we live our lives accordingly. Yes Molly is absolutely beautiful inside & out & i think we just hope she feels how incredibly inspiring, beautiful & badass she is, it's a beam she has 💕
Crystal McCormack these people commenting must all be blind. For them to know what to say or not, blahblah. I was thinking iT, you comment iT @crystalmccormack xx
What I like about Molly is that she is so happy and always smiling ,like she could be sobing all day but she instead has accepted that she is blind and is just herself, I like people who no matter what just try to be happy and I see that in Molly. she is *#killingit*

The sign language question totally cracks me up because my husband is Deaf and I can't tell you how many hostesses have handed him a braille menu. I don't know what these people are thinking.
What the... how can people be THAT stupid?
Right?
My blind husband was given the subtitled glasses for hearing impairment at the movie theater... We had a good laugh at it because he has frequently told me how subtitles are his nemesis. Why do people confuse these deafness with blindness?!?
Oh my god, are you serious?! XD People!
Honestly people can be dumb
Molly is so honest I love her 😂❤️
I have a cornea disease. My brother still asks me if cars are coming on my side when we are on a crossroad. One day I sad no cars on my side. He moved off then jammed on the breaks and swore at me as a car flew past. I said dude you know I cant see.
Bruh howd she see your comment
😂
I know I love her
Estephany Flamenco she has a voice thingy on her phone that when she puts her finger on something
Yep, I've gotten most of these! Ever have people start talking louder when they find out you can't see?...
Personally I don't think this is entirely crazy. Subconsciously a sighted person is checking things like lip movement and facial expressions to try and fill in the gaps if they miss anything the person is saying. My nan used to tell me she could hear better when she had glasses on :) but not everyone needs raised voices thrown at them 🙂
@@kerryh3833 I agree but still blind people have learned how to hear pretty well
@@kerryh3833 I can hear better with my glasses on. For sure.
Or when they ask the person you’re with if you’re really blind. Ooooh my god do I hate that.
@@BrownedHound Do you think blind people are completely incapable of doing anything? That they're helpless and that there are no sort of tools that help blind people navigate their lives? You should probably watch more of this girl's videos because you are extremely ignorant. To call someone a liar for being blind is one of the most disgusting things a person can do. Imagine going through a traumatic experience and literally going BLIND just for people to constantly tell you that you're not actually blind.
And there is something called "speech to text." There are SO many tools to help blind people use the internet, like tools that convert speech into text, text into speech, verbally explain what images are, etc. Next time, think and research before you embarrass yourself and hurt someone with a comment like this.
When she said "do you know sign language" and the camera zoomed in on her expression, an AD began to play, and I thought she just ended the video with that look and I cracked up hard lol

i wear glasses and i fkn hate when people try them on and say “WOW UR BLIND”

Ikr ik my profile doesnt have glasses but i take em' off whem i film (:
@@jbor688 My answer to "Can you see me?" when I'm not wearing my glasses or contacts is "Not clearly but there is a blurry idiot standing in front of me." If you're more than four inches away from my face you are just a blur.
@Daniela Madrid I honestly couldn't relate more
Vision related stories:Once somebody was like.. it's so sad you can't see the world in full color, you have no idea how pretty it is! And I was like.. what? I'm don't have dull color vision, everything is just blurry. Then to justify themselves they said: what color is my sweater (I answered the right color, forgot now though, let's say purple) and when I answered correctly, she said, no, it's actually yellow. I was like.. bruh. I'm not an idiot and I see color.
Nico, How rude of them to lie to your bootiful face
Ohhh, God..I hate liars. (From experience)
I won't lie: I thought you didn't look blind either when I first saw in Shane's video. Not because of something physical or some cliche like the sunglasses. It's just that you're so expressive with your eyes.
I never met a blind person before so my basis was mostly movies and tv.
Every time there's a blind character they're always make so the actor have their eyes unfocused and they never move their eyes or head. So even if they're talking with someone next to them they still seem to be staring straight ahead.
So to see you with your eyes on someone's face while you're talking to them and even rolling your eyes to the camera, it was surprising. And I also realized how ignorant I was...
So... sorry about that. I've been watching your videos and loving them so much.
Caroline Oliveira same
It's nice to know that you two have realised your mistakes
If you look closely, when she is looking at the camera, her eyes sort of vibrate or shake.
@@oliviahand8439 It's called nystagmus, she addressed it on the video "why my eyes never stop shaking"
Why does anyone think that anything shown in the media is real? Every media production is just that... a production. Nothing on TV, on TH-cam, on Netflix, or any other media outlet isn’t orchestrated to illicit a specific response.
"Do you know sign language?" ...Jesus Christ. If only people thought for a second before they spoke.
@Caramel Cupcake Wow. It's almost not even insulting because that is so dumb. It's hard not to be mad at them for that, honestly, but I really think that people today are so self-focused that they aren't really listening to people most of the time. I just can't believe that she did that lol, at least she knew sign language hahaha
Kiwi They typed cause you can ask siri to turn on voice so when you touch something like youtube it says youtube so you know if your clicking the right stuff
Kiwi. Some people have others to type for them sooooo I hope you weren’t trying to be rude.
I know sign language! (Kinda) I'm still pretty new
There’s ppl who r blind n deaf so i would like to be more informed about their way of communication i think it’s tactile sign language
A friend of mine is blind and when people ask me questions about him like "would he like a refill?" I politely say "I don't know, you'll have to ask him" and they always look kind of shocked and taken back, like 'wait, what? i can't do that'! people are funny sometimes.
JesusFreak77 HE IS BLIND NOT DEAF
@@ligood exactly!
JesusFreak77 ppl do that with me and my aunt but she is hearing impaired and has hearing aids and is blind so I guess I get that more, but she can hear so like wtf bro
I seriously don't understand that lol like blind doesn't equal deaf or mentally incompetent
JesusFreak77 I’m legally blind and I’ll be using my cane at school and people come up to me and my best friend and they will do that exact same thing and my friend says the exact same thing that you say
Ugh, the part where she told about being asked "what happened to you" was so relatable.
I'm not blind, but I suffer from clinical depression and often when I said it to someone who didn't know they went like: "Oh! Why? What happened?". And it really bugged me and I couldn't understand why I felt so upset when I heard it. With time I realised it was an incredibly inappropriate question.
Like, wtf man? I say I have depression and you're literally asking why? What are you expecting me to tell you? Do you want to hear about how my parents were neglectful and left me alone for hours when I was like 5, and then were disappointed on me if I acted like a child and cried? Are you expecting me to casually tell you about my history of sexual abuse when I was a teen? Then what the fuck is that question? Do you want to hear about the meds I take or how I don't really know if my disorder is like, inherited from my depressed parents and maybe there's just chemicals that my brain doesn't make in the right quantities? What the fuck? I don't have to prove myself to anyone, if I told you I have depression is for you to be aware that maybe some tasks will take me longer than for other people, or that I might have a bit of trouble for certain things, not for you to quiz me on it like you're asking which my favourite icecream flavour is.
(Sorry for the rant but seriously what is wrong with people??)
When people ask me that I just straight up tell them it’s a very personal and rude question 😒
Yea...my go to answer to questions like that is usually along the lines of "I am not obligated to share that information with you." It tends to make people really uncomfortable...
Watching this video like "oh, I'm going to learn how to be more polite and respectful"...
Final thoughts: "I only learned that people are stupid"...

you made me laugh out loud
My son was made blind by brain surgery when he was a couple of days old. He’s now 7 and he gets so angry when people ask me questions about him. Like he can hear you. I understand where you’re coming from molly xx
I also hav a Lil bro. Blind from birth, some autistic behaviors aswell. He’s 9 and i totally get were you and Molly are comn from. It tinggles my triggers aswell as my bro
So sorry that your son was blinded. I hope the facility that did this has compensated you so that their mistake won't be a terrible financial burden. Also, most people are assholes and this becomes ever apparent when there is someone with a disability involved. I'm honestly puzzled as to how we have survived this long as a species.
@@LordPrometheous Fyi, that's not how brain surgery works. No one compensates you for side effects because they aren't mistakes so much as complications of saving someone's life. :/
Not trying to undermine this issue but it may be worth pointing out that some people do that even if a child has no disability. Some people just act like kids are stupid or generally don't want to communicate with them.
I agree. He has EARS.
Obsessed with your hair & begging for a killer bee sweatshirt for Christmas from my parents!!!!!!

I love how you say that you're yourself and you just happen to be blind and how blindness hasn't changed who you are and how it's just changed how you interact with the world.
My name is Ella 2
i can see that is the case for her. but and i am going to say not everyone gets to be as fortuinite as she. for many people it does make life hard for them and there is no real way around it. i am not trying to say she did not work and does not work hard i am just saying that just because things are positive in her life does not mean it can work that way for everyone no mater how hard you try.

Molly is absolutely a beautiful young Lady.
This guy told me “why does everyone watch her? She is blind” I said “I don’t watch her because she is blind I watch her because of her personality I love her.” After that he didn’t say anything else.

Have you ever read “Do Not Touch” in Braille?
If so, it must have been pretty unsettling 😂
Ahahahaha!
this is a genius question.
Braille signs are the same as a sighted persons!! It's a sign,with an instruction......
Tich 123 it’s a joke.. because a sign that you have to touch to read says do not touch.. ya know?
This was a cute one 😂
When I tell people I'm face blind, I've had some people deliberately switch names on me, just to screw with me. It just makes it that much harder for me to eventually connect their name to their hair/ accessories/ smile/ etc. So DONT DO THIS
That one sucks. I used to have that problem due to a psychiatric problem. Seeing people that effectively had no faces was rather disturbing. They sort of had faces, but they were more like rubber masks that lacked much detail.
Over the years, it's something that I struggle with because I have no mind's eye and no ability to take what a person looks like now and compare that to what they looked like before a hair cut or change in clothing. I've somewhat improved by working to focus on bone structure and eye color, things that don't change as easily, but it's not easy and likely isn't even possible for somebody with actual face blindness.
@@SmallSpoonBrigade Very interesting! Fortunately for me, I perceive faces fine and can see them in perfect detail, but I don't recognize them. I also can't picture people! Everything I notice about others tends to be subconscious; it throws me off too much when I try to deliberately focus on specific features.
What’s face blind? I’m sorry if that sounds rude😕 I’m just curious 🙂
@@eleanorbrockett6554 No worries! I'm happy to talk about it :D It's a bit of a misnomer, actually. The actual name for it is prosopagnosia, but it means I can see faces just fine, I can't recognize them. This includes close friends, my own parents, my reflection, etc. My channel teaches about it if you're interested in learning more, but I have to rely on other cues to recognize people and it's just not as accurate as the face for recognition.
And that’s why I have no trust people

I am deaf and I’ve had a hard time with adjusting to the way people treat me. A lot of people don’t know how hard it is for me to blend in. I have a cochlear and it is something that helps you hear. I had 3 failures and that is rare to happen. You are a big inspiration for me because of the way you took your disability and made it into something that is amazing. I always want to fit in and a lot of the times that does not happen and I have learned to live with that because of you. The main thing I think is so annoying that I also got a lot of attention for is my lip reading. I read lips really good and the reason for that is because when I was almost fully deaf I had to rely on people’s lips to “hear” them talk. Everybody always says “can you read my lips” and it get so annoying because I am now known as “the deaf girl” or “the girl who can read lips”. You get me through that everyday and I hope someday I could be someone amazing like you. I don’t know a lot of sign language but I do know a bit. You are good for somebody who doesn’t do sign language that often. You are so amazing♥️
Rachel Lawson you already are amazing
I'm deaf too, and I totally get your struggle. Keep advocating for yourself and eventually you will meet people that won't see you as "the deaf girl." Trust me. It may take a while, but you already clearly can read lips better than I can, so you're doing GREAT!!! ;)
(Also, THREE CI failures??? I can't even imagine, I've only had one and that was awful!)
Comments I often get walking in the streets with my daughter:
- When does she get an eye operation?
(Hello, how are you, great day isn't it)
- They will fix her right?
(I didn't know she was broken, she looks normal to me)
- Her eyes are not normal! Go see a doctor today before it's too late.
(That's a great idea! I never thought about it)
- My grandson had "this" too...
(Could you explain what exactly you mean with "this")
(Daughter was born with cataract, strabismus and nystagmus)
Anyway, your channel is really inspirational.

Waxing. Threading. Or you can shave by touch.
Also, you don't have to shave. Body hair is natural and there's nothing wrong with choosing not to remove it for any reason. You say this as if your sister will *have* to shave one day and just nope. Noone of any of the multitude of genders out there has to shave any part of their body unless they want to.

"Can I pet your guide dog?"
"No, you can't."
I RELATE!
as a service dog handler myself, every time, guess what majority of service dog and guide dog handlers, will say no. Our life is in our dogs four paws, and our dogs NEED to stay focused and not get distracted. It's super important to leave a service dog or guide dog alone and not distract or pet them, they have to stay focused on their handlers.
Brieanna Bananas I love dogs but i have never asked if i could pet one because that would be extremely rude
Let him be a dog
Service dogs are kind of fucked up when you think about
Brieanna Bananas true I look for 1 second to see if it’s a service dog and if not I ask to pet it
I was always taught when they are in their harness, or the best or just work gear to not ask. They need to focus, I was taught the only time to ask is when they aren't in work mode.
Her eyecontact is amazing... She is so natural
Muun She has a light right behind the camera so she can know where it is at all times
It's also easy to look straight forward
Facts
Nothing annoys me more than people completely ignoring me and talking to the person I’m with.
Like “HELLOOO!” My legs don’t work but my mouth does! 🤣
That’s always weird, when someone finds out you have one thing, and they start acting like you have everything. Like, I have a physical delay, that doesn’t mean I don’t speak English.
And your brain, too.
I get you there. I have a disability + a load of mental health disorders and people treat me like a 1 year old! They are so patronising!
Jesus Christ! The struggle
For me it's people completely ignoring me and petting my psychiatric dog I'm like nope he sure isn't here to help me but for your pure enjoyment to pet 😂 please ignore me and go ahead and pet
Actually its also kind of illegal to distract guide dogs and ask to pet them or calling their name. You wont be arrested, but its VERY disrespectful to do that and the dogs are usually very protective and could start growling which is distracting them from thier job
NillaCakes YT in America many states have a fine for distracting a service dog
It's not illegal to ask to pet them (obviously) but it's probably unsafe to pet them and illegal to without asking or without a 'yes' from the guide dogs owner. Also, just an opinion of mine; I don't think it's disrespectful at all to ask to pet a guide dog as long as you word it properly. Eg. "Will it affect your dog if I pet it? I just think he/she's really adorable" or something I like that. I'm not blind or have any disabilities (to my knowlege) so I wouldn't be sure if even that's the right way to ask.
I agree on your statement of it being disrespectful and illegal to interfere with any form of help that a disabled person needs to use or have. Eg. Wheel chair or a well- guide dog :)
Idk why I'm writing this, idk maybe it just bothered me that you said "and ask to pet them" lol. I'm wierd like that haha

Sunniesdaylees while polite phrasing is nice (better than why won’t you let me pet your dog) or just drive by petting, most of us prefer it if you don’t ask at all (not to be rude). I get on average about 10 people asking to pet each day (unless I’m grocery shopping, the. I’ll get 10 in that trip alone). I personally have fatigue and migraine problems and food allergies I have to be extremely careful about. It takes all my energy just to shop for an hour. Having a short conversation with 10 people adds a bunch of time I honestly don’t really have. I know some handlers allow it (to each their own) but I also will go non verbal due to exhaustion and/or pain So, many people think I’m just being rude and ignoring them when really I just can’t talk. I do appreciate the people who can take no for an answer and don’t push it or get all entitled ( honestly that’s the majority of people) so I try tot hank them for asking. I also like the parents who teach their kids not to distract her by screaming, calling to her, or petting her vs the parents who point her out to their kids and have them bark or call to her (that’s worse than the people asking to pet because you’re teaching your kid it’s okay). And the most frustrating people are the people who talk to Mochi instead of me. I had one lady behind me in the grocery line and I gave Mochi a treat for tasking and she said (pretending to be my dog) “I want more treats, i. Saw where you got those treats from. Give me more treats. I love treats” and stuff for like 2 min. I hope I didn’t come across as rude.
@@pucamisc I'm fortunate not to have these types of struggles I so I wouldn't understand entirely but I'm pretty understanding. This would annoy me too, I know it's nothing similar but it's kind of like someone asking me to draw something for them because I'm kinda okay at drawing and I also feel rude when I say no. It doesn't happen all the time because I'm not exposed to people seeing them all the time but if it did I would get really pissed. Sometimes I do draw something though.
I don't feel like your being rude by not replying either though. I'm not one to ask to pet a guide dog either but I understand the thought process who does ask :))
But I'll never understand the thought process of those who get thier children to call or yell out to them, like hello?
That woman who was pretending to be your dog was really disrespectful and your not being rude by being annoyed by it
Sunniesdaylees thank you! You’re a very kind person
I am in *love* with her hair😍😍

Yeah, it's beautiful!
Whats the point of telling dat she cant read
yeah she is so cute
@@creamcupcake1790 Yes, but she has an app on her phone so she can listen to the comments. :) Im . sure shed love to hear these amazing things!
It is staggering how many people do not know the difference between deaf and blind. Or think that sign language is gang related. 🤦♀️
When she asked are you dare devil my mind instantly went to Garrett watts in the Shane Dawson videos

SAME or they take off your glasses put their hand in your face and say "how many fingers am I holding up"
Same and it is not funny like what if they had glasses i have the same trouble
You understand me....like IT’S JUST BLURRY
Patrick Szabo THAT SO RUDE I mean I hate it when someone takes off my friends glasses and say “Can you see me?!” Guess what I do and say...
Guessed yet I say “LEAVE HER ALONE”and I..... kinda push them into a table......
Yeah u don’t wanna take off my friends glasses...
I like those "why do you do these things that you can't see?" I mean, I don't sit with a mirror in front of me 24/7 but I still wanna do my makeup.
Here's a list of things that even sighted people usually don't see more than 5% of the time:
Your own makeup
Your lash extensions
Your hairstyle (most of it anyway)
Your earrings
Any tattoo that isn't on your forearm etc.
A nice back of your shirt or dress
So true!
Hell, I have tattoos on my forearms and still forget about them. lol
I don't have a tattoo. Makeup. Eyelash extensions(even though i can see my own eyelashes). I can see my hairstyle(I have hair down to my butt.) And I don't wear earrings. And I can see the back of my shirt cuz my neck is flexible af
Yes but the point is we know if it looks good even if we don't see it all the time. If i was blind I wouldn't bother/risk having a tattoo if I didn't know how it looks
And I really don't see the point of doing room deco
What’s your favorite band? This has nothing to do with your disability, it’s just a very important question that I ask literally everybody
Go u
I saw you at Disneyland during VidCon and you were so nice and sweet. I appreciate the few minutes you took to take a photo with me and trying to make Gallop get in the photo.😂
I hate the "you don't look" comments. I have MS and use a wheelchair, and people will say things like "you don't look disabled" or "your too young to be disabled" like wtf man
It's possible stuff like that is meant more as a compliment, but I think Molly mentions it in another vid, the last one aobut the dumb questions. She doesn't like how it kind of sounds accusatory, like the person is suspicious that she isn't really blind.
Same. It's hard not to slap people. Lol.
@iNiyama I know, I had rather them say "I'm so sorry" than make me feel the way I do when they say that crap. (also I have depression too, sucks ass, I get you hun)
Syndi Griner-Owens I get those comments all the time. Especially the your too young one. I take 15 different pill 2-4times a day to be able to live a normal life. And your trying to tell me I’m not disable just because I refuse to use a wheelchair in stores or long walks? Or because I’m not a certain age. Even the government doesn’t want to accept disabled people as disable. It heartbreaking!
Brent Hunter I wish it was a compliment. But doctors say the same stuff to people and wont believe them either.
I’m cross eyed, so when I take of my glasses, I see two of EVERYTHINGG. And people just hold up numbers, and wave there hands in front of my face and there just like *”CaNN yOU SeE THiS?”* And I’m just like, *”BOIII”*
I know! I just wear glasses but people are like, cam you see me? And I get so mad because I am not blind, just things are blurry.
kmsignore me too this is so relatable
me too!!! im also sqwint
That happens all the time too me always ask me can you take the glasses aut and then they star asking stupid questions.
That was basically my existence in one comment
I’m ashamed to say I might have asked some of these questions myself so thank you for educating sighted people so we don’t make the same mistakes!
"Why do your eyes look normal?"
It might just be me, but it seems that your eyes shake or move quickly back and forth when they're "supposed to be" stationary. Idk I may be imagining it, but it's a small and interesting thing I've picked up on.
Edit: I've been informed that it is a condition called nystagmus. Google it if you wanna learn more. (Thanks comment peeps)
That's because Molly also has a condition called nystagmus, where her eyes basically make uncontrolled movements.
That's a nystagmus. Could be due to nerve compression in the upper cervical spine.
but you can see she looks to her right when she wants to remember something, and to her left if if she wants to imagine or come up with something. Really interesting how that is embedded in the brain.
Puppylillies, thats somewhat normal for a lot of blind people especially if you are Born blind. My little brother also has these uncontrolled and rapid eyemovements
I think we all noticed it. We just didn't feel the need to comment on it. I figure she probably already knows about it since I am pretty sure she has a doctor. I personally think its kind of cute. And like someone else said, yes your eyes move to different spots depending on what you are thinking for most people. I don't think it has anything to do with if you can see or not.
"Have you tried glasses??" 😂😂😂😂😂 yeah, yes Molly tried glasses, but she didn't like the look of them so she doesn't wear them 😂😂😂😂😂😂
This is just a joke please don't get upset anyone:
How do you drive?
Molly:I don't, it's very illegal
Meanwhile on Shane's video....
This is funny 😂
She also just drove one of the Dolan twin's car lol
Ya she drives but kinda slow lol 😂
@@prettiepati but in that video she only drove down the street, and she even had trouble with that
So true
Stranger: “why don’t you look blind?”
Blind person: “I’m sorry I didn’t rip my eyes out of my skull so you know that I can’t see.”
People would say "you dont look blind" because she is able to focus and pin-point her eyes to an object, and come back to it everytime she takes her eyes off of it. Look how she can look into the camera without any trouble. When someone is able to focus on objects like that all the time, its hard to notice that shes blind. Its the first thing you notice about a blind person. They are looking into the abyss

You mentioned eye doctor appointments, what is a standard eye appointment like for you?
I wonder too
C,S,D Earl I am partial blind so they test you on the shapes you can see .i see almost the same thing she does but only on my left eye so ,yes I am somewhat “blind”
For my patients who are legally blind, I check if they can see anything on the eye chart. If they can’t, I move to them counting my fingers at 5 feet, if they can’t see it, I continue to move closer. If they can see anything, I will use a pen light and ask if they can see the light. Some can see that, some can’t. (of course this is only for NEW patients that have never been at our office before. If we have seen the patient in the past, I can usually see in the chart what they’ve done to test vision in the past. Then I take a history, we ALWAYS dilate, if a visual correction (glasses Rx) can improve anything, I will do a refraction and see if I can get them to the big E, 20/400, on the chart. Then, they go to the doctor and they check the surface of the eye, the macula, the retina, all parts of the eye and I scribe for them, which is recording how they grade the severity of things and go from there. Blind people should always see an Ophthalmologist, an eye doctor with MD, with surgical skills. Whereas an Optometrist doesn’t hold a medical doctor degree and just goes to optometry school, focusing on refractive issues like glasses, rather than medicine.
Good question I am blind in the left eye and 20/200 in the right with optic nerve hypoplasia (This means I did not develop optic nerves during development in the uterus)
I go go to a low vision specialist dr. who is renowned in research and I only trust him. my appointments take anywhere from one hour to three hours he rigorously tests me to make sure that my eyes are working as well as they can be given my condition which is congenital and incurable. and charts everything with technology I go through all sorts of machines and tests to Make sure that my eyes are staying the same And not deteriorating. Tests that others would take to check for typical eye conditions that come along w aging like glaucoma but also to check things like my field of vision and to see if the number of optic nerves I have working is still the same. I have been going to him since I was a baby so for 40 years I don’t trust anybody else. He is amazing and really spends an incredible amount of time with each of his patients. And explains everything he’s doing along the way.
@@mariahandsonsyour comment was so informative but it took me back to third grade when people asked me what my vision was and I said 20/450 because I knew my prescription and they always gave me the really confused "what" face especially adults and I'd just roll my eyes and be like "I. Cant. See. The. Big. E. Better?" As a kid that bothered me but now at 21 I laugh at peoples reactions. Also the reaction when I tell them I can't see anything farther than an inch or so away without my glasses or contacts.
People ask me questions about my autistic son when he's standing right beside me.
Person: Would your son like some juice?
Me: He's right here. Ask him.
Person: *awkward silence*
All. The. Time.
This is so fckn right! My little brother is fully blind and has some autistic behaviours. We get this a lot aswell
Isn't it just weird to feed things to other people's children without a parent's permission? I always feel really uncomfortable interacting with children because I worry their parent's might be angry with me. Stranger danger and all.
-just an alternative point of view
@@gebogift5562 Yes. Its hard to understand when you have not experienced it. But you're right. Its just anoying when you still see that treatment when you are 16. FX
This is why I hate Earth.
@@gebogift5562 if it's a little kid (single digit age) and the parents are there, ask the parents if it's ok for you to give them something. Once they consent, then you can safely assume it's ok to talk to the child. That way, you're not talking about the child like they're invisible; you're just getting permission first, as you should. Or you can ask the child, "hey, would your mom/dad mind if you have some juice/candy/animal crackers?". That way, you're not being weird about it, the child feels included, and you haven't just spoken directly to someone's child as if their parents aren't there. Either way would be fine for any mentally stable adult. If the parents take offense to that, then they are the problem, not you. What you don't do is just speak to children without acknowledging their parent/guardian whatsoever. That's a quick way to piss someone off. Otherwise, you're fine. It also works this way with dogs. Ask if it's ok for the dog to have a Slim Jim or dog treat (I used to do this all the time as a field tech). The owners would invariably say yes, and the dog was always happy to get a Slim Jim, even the ones that previously barked their heads off because I was a stranger.
“so you’re like daredevil???” ~literally garrett in shane’s video
I had forgotten that. I woder if it bothered her a lot then.
From what I've gathered, I don't think Mollie really takes things too personally. She is still human and of course has bad days or moments but this is why she makes her content is to educate people.
That's exactly what I thought about! I do believe shane even asked if he could pet Gallop right away, too. Lol I also wondered if it bothered her in the moment or even after while reflecting on the interaction.
@@featherrosemain4691 Since she watched Shane's videos, maybe she was expecting that? Or maybe she was so happy to meet them that she did not get bothered.
Not sure. When someone is bubbly, is always hard to realize those kind of things. How much was she hurt by their initial reaction only she knows.
I lost my best friend who was also blind. She was the strongest person I knew. She could literally do everything. Watching your videos helps me. Sending all my love to you. You rock Molly! You are gorgeous and so sweet!
-I had someone for no reason just hual off and kick me hard in the shin on my left leg.
I was like "Dude, WTF?
And he said, You have a fake leg, you can't feel it."
I said, yea, my *RIGHT* leg is fake, but even so, you just don't kick someone like that!"
Sadly I can believe that there are assholes like this in the world and it saddens me.
I'm pretty sure someone with a fake leg will feel the kick, due to the fact that 'this thing' is attached to them... so that seems ridiculously retarded... and disrespectful... tho' it's not like You could expect reason or any type of 'high-end' culture from a moron... world is a harsh place, at least that helps value 'gems' :D
-Greetings
Lol
That's when you take your prosthetic leg and beat them over the head with it!!! "It's a fake leg so you shouldn't be able to feel this!!" LMAO
Dude, that is just fucked up. I mean if it was a 7 year old or something I get it, but if it was an adult they deserve to be punched or kicked back.
do you know sign language?
Molly: "no"
*proceeds by showing a bit of sign language*
Better answer would be if they put some Braille on that sign. :D
She honestly doesn’t even need to know sign language, she say hear and talk
@tinyMm Dead people???
@@haidynivy8778 obviously a typo.
tinyMm that’s offensive to “dead” people
Do you ever have trust issues with asking people like what color something is or what something looks like ?????
k sipes woah....
That is what worries me.
"Do you know sign language". 😂😂😂. I'm sorry I couldn't stop laughing that someone would ask you that.
My Grandmother learned both Braille and American Sign Language in her youth, and worked in vocational rehabilitation for a while. When she worked as an interpreter for the deaf, she would get asked all the time if that meant she knew Braille, and she was always having to say “Yes I know Braille, but that’s for the blind. I use Sign Language for my deaf clients.” People seem to have ALWAYS mixed the two up.
I don't even like talking to strangers, period. I don't understand how people can see someone disabled and immediately think it's a free pass to interrogate them?!
They touch us without permission too! Grab our wheelchairs, pat our heads. Awful stuff.
Alex Niño Seriously? Pat your head? Wow, some people have no boundries!
I wear glasses and...
Someone: take your glasses off

I was blind in one eye and almost had surgery on my eye. It was a scary time for me. But now thankfully I’m better! Anyway people would always take my glasses off and wave there hands in front of me and I could see them out of one eye and like you said I could also feel them doing it. Then after I told them to stop I can see them they took my glasses and broke them. Like WHAT!!!!!!!!! Who would do that to a 11 year old almost blind girl. Uggggggggggg I was sooooooooooooo mad!!!!!!!!!
But ya that is my story and I appreciate you sharing your with us! Love your channel sooooooo much! 💕❤️❤️❤️❤️💕❤️❤️❤️❤️💕
Shyann, I am really so sorry that this happened to you. I had to sit here and think about what I had just read before I responded because I would surely get kicked off youtube with my description of these low life losers that did this to you.
Oh my God. People dont think. I hope you're okay

This might be a stupid question, but when you get scared, do you close your eyes? I do that but I'm wondering if I only do that to shut off my visual input. Like when someone jump scares me, I close my eyes and kind of flinch.

Hey Molly,
Thanks for making these videos. My struggle isn't the same as yours, but after serving in the Marine Corps I had a service dog and it was so irritating and frustrating when people would look at me and be scared or ask me "Hey so whats wrong with you?" "Do you have ptsd?" "Why do you have a service dog - you don't look blind" My mental health history has been difficult for me to deal with, and I don't want to open up my medical records with every person that is just curious. I hated it when people would look at me (after thousands and thousands of hours of training) and think I had a fake service dog because I didn't "look" like I had a disability. Thanks for making these videos, you help tons of people even beyond the blind community.
The part about assuming someone is their helper, I notice this a lot because I work with people with autism. The thing is, always ask the person and if there is a reason they can't answer themselves then the person with them will automatically answer for them. Always speak to the person first! The teens I work with can't really respond on their own, but I am very impressed when someone, such as a server, asks the kid I'm working with to his face if he would like a drink, and then I just respond for him. This should be the norm!
I have Autism and my step father used to use that to justify speaking for me. The worst part was that he misrepresented me. He acted like his thoughts were my thoughts.
Sara Makes Art oh man I’m sorry to hear that! Don’t ever stop speaking up for yourself and making yourself heard (in any way you can).
Does anyone else think Molly would be an amazing elementary school teacher?
Thx the likes(edit)

Emily loves Sparkles But she could have an assistant or something I guess. I just think her personality would go great working with little kids.

The "turns to another person to ask about you" isn't just for disabilities, it's pretty common when you're dealing with "language barriers" too.

Oh my god I hate it when people say that I look better without glasses. I've had them for as long as I can remember and they've become a part of who I am. Being told I look better without them is ok I guess, but also mean because that's basically saying "oh you look very good without your glasses off than on". Idk, that's just how I see it
"Do you know sign language?" That question broke me. I have very little faith in humanity and the general intelligence of people. But holy hell that just broke me.

Molly, I love these videos so much! I stumbled across your content just yesterday because I want to write a blind character for a story but wanted to be sure I represented her right. Now I'm hooked, for the creation of my character but way more than that, for if/when I meet blind people, in the hopes of being a source of a smile instead of exasperation if we did end up talking. Thank you so much for sharing your experiences.
The can you see this waving fingers in front of people is also happens to people with glasses. They ask you to take them off and then wave the fingers.
Maggies Videos ugh I hate that my vision is so bad and kids did that all the time and it is so annoying but now with contacts i can’t just take them out for people at school all the time
Omg people do the same to me
Yep. When this happens to me i just say 'urmmmmm, let me think about that... Nope' 😂 But i get it it's really enjoying.
I'm to the point where I shrug and say Idk. Don't feel like putting forth the effort
Yeah Right or they ask to put them on
my grandma is blind but she still does everything for us i love her so much
“CAN YOU SEE THIS” “HOW MANY FINGERS AM I HOLDING UP?” Relatable to people with glasses
Zay VanNess omg yes. I have glasses and every one asks me that
Yes!!! And everyone wants to try your glasses on. Why? Then they ask how they look... I CAN’T SEE HOW YOU LOOK BECAUSE YOU HAVE MY GLASSES!!!!
Omg yess
@@NikkiAMurrayAvon I know right! If someone says they like me without glasses better and I say "I like you more without my glasses on aswell"
water princess hahaha! I wear contacts now... so much easier 😆
The fingers thing is even more annoying because I’m legally blind, but I have enough vision to actually see the number of fingers they’re holding up…so yeah I bet a few people probably thought I was lying about my visual impairment when I was little and when other little kids asked me about it lol
Okay so this is not a question but.... I really wish you could see how beautiful you are!!! I mean seriously you are one of the most beautiful people I have every seen in my life, but you don't even know!!!! Also you could be a superhero!! With your motivation you have saved so many lives.

"I wish" you could just play & play with kids without me having check on you every so little making sure he sits & have a break cause you'd nap like an angel. "I wish" we could go out & do all the family, festive events & not worry about you getting sick because you'd absolutely love it. I think with the disabled of course I withhold a lot of I wish this & that, but wishing on these things is just about like rubbing a lamp for a genie. We get what we get & we live our lives accordingly. Yes Molly is absolutely beautiful inside & out & i think we just hope she feels how incredibly inspiring, beautiful & badass she is, it's a beam she has 💕
Crystal McCormack these people commenting must all be blind. For them to know what to say or not, blahblah. I was thinking iT, you comment iT @crystalmccormack xx
What I like about Molly is that she is so happy and always smiling ,like she could be sobing all day but she instead has accepted that she is blind and is just herself, I like people who no matter what just try to be happy and I see that in Molly.
she is *#killingit*
did anyone else notice that she looks more tan? 😻
Makeup.
Maybe it was the lighting or her makeup? Idk
YES, I thought she looked Tanner right as I opened the video.
I think she added more bronzer , can see areas of it dabbed on around her cheek and forehead .
She did tweet asking about spray tans the other day
cute merchandise. I love your idea of the little bee coming out of it's home in the pocket of the shirt.
