Dear Moi, I know ow you mus feel wen is appens. So aing said a, I do fully understand the embarrassment involved. But unfortunately there is no set rule to deal with this problem. But, as far as I am concerned, I simply laugh when I am answering to something that is not being said to me, and also just ask the person if he/she is speaking with me or not. They normally clarify the same. But you must sometimes learn to accept that there are going to be many things to which we have no solutions and so we just have to do the best thing we can to go through them. You see, the world is completely designed for seeing persons and we just have to get around the best we can. If we intermingle more with society, they will learn to also accept us the way we are. And anyway, sighted persons also do many many actions and things that make them look and seem silly and yet they just keep going. So you too keep going, laught it off and best of luck. Be yourself... you all are great as you are! Just keep improving a little everyday. Tell me if I can help further.

A blindism, of course, is a thing blind people do. So, due to lack of visual communication, it is often difficult for us to determine whether someone is talking to us or not if they forget to take our name. This recently happened with me and I was left ashen-faced and felt really awkward about it. What do you guys do when you don't know if someone's talking to you or not? One more thing, sometimes it's also difficult to determine if a person is listening to you or not. This is mainly because they may nod or do other visual things to show that they're listening, but we can't perceive that. So, what's the most graceful and dignified way of dealing with such situations?
