Re: I am scared
I have a problem with plants as well actually, especially big waxy leaves near my face.
Haven't found anyone else with this problem before Camlorn even in the blind community, so that's interesting.
I've mostly learned to tamp down on the sudden, visceral cringe I get when running into certain plants I don't expect, but it's like I just touched a giant insect, incredibly alien and very much alive, or if it's a dead leaf, as if I touched an unexpected animal skeleton or a big scab or something, incredibly dead.
I'm not exactly sure why this is (maybe it has to do with over active empathy?) and while I don't think I'll ever feel comfortable enough to walk barefoot in the grass or on dead leaves (since even now the thought makes my toes curl and my whole body shudder and not in a good way either) I can now detach enough to examine the types of plants that gave me the worst reactions as a kid for a time before having to step away at least...
