Re: How Often are you Grabbed in Public
The big difference is that sighted people will end up seeing the other person approaching. We might not notice someone else, or disregard them as unimportant until it's too late, because we're focused in on listening and navigating. So, it is an invasion of personal space, at least to me, because one moment it's clear, the next you're being grabbed up. if you notice someone coming near you, and they're headed right for you, you have all that time to either take some sort of action, or decide not to. We don't get that choice. The person could be waiting for the bus, could be standing at the corner just like us, waiting for the right time to cross; or, as I said, we might not notice or disregard them because we're cued in on our environment ahead and to the side more than behind.
