Hi. So I have a question for you guys. What is the biggest lie you've ever told the blind community? For me, it would be my age. I wasn't born on april 28th, and not in 2010. I'm actually a year older then I told everyone I was. My birthday was yesterday, and I was born in 2009, not 2010.

Why would you make yourself younger not older? That's a new one.

I can think of like 5 things you've lied about that's more significant lol.
I think my biggest lie was that time I pretended to be a girl for a couple months


All that I survey, I could easily destroy. From time to time, it is important to remind these small creatures of the true extent of my power.

Well, you once said you were blonde with blue eyes, but then also said you were black and discriminated because of being black.

Ok, confession time. It's been a long time coming, but here goes.
All this time I haven't been blind. I'm a psychologist from New York who joined the blind community to research the place, and analyse peoples' behaviours. I was the only one who could do it. Everyone else was too scared. Scared they wouldn't come out the same. And now I know why. I wish I could change the past. But no, that's not an option. Over 10 years I've spent here. And I wish I hadn't. I've lost my wife of 20 years over this project. I've lost my house and my 3 cars. And I still continue to do it.


Now that's off my chest, anyone up to share theirs next?

So now I'm wondering, did you lie about the age of your sister as well?

As for me, I pretended to be a boy in several communities. Back then I thought being a boy is cooler, like, who would talk to girls about gaming or anything? And then I recorded some kind of a tutorial and I realised my voice wouldn't fit the criteria of being a boy :D

Alright… I guess it’s finally time to reveal the truth.
I’ve been hiding this for far too long.
I’m not just some random blind guy on the internet.
No.
I’m actually a fully trained Elite Sensory Operative from a top-secret agency nobody’s ever heard of.
My blindness?
Part of my cover.
A disguise so effective even I started believing it.
Twelve years ago, they sent me here on a mission—codename Project Dark Horizon.
My task?
To infiltrate the blind community, study everyone’s behaviour, and report back on “high-level perceptual adaptation strategies.”
Whatever that means. I stopped reading after page two.
I was warned.
They told me nobody had ever returned from this assignment the same.
They said it would change me.
Break me.
Rebuild me.
And you know what?
They were absolutely right.
I’ve sacrificed everything for this mission.
My apartment? Gone.
My emotional support cactus? Wilting.
My guide dog? He filed for separation and took the good bowls.
But after all these years… I’ve grown attached.
To the chaos.
To the memes.
To the voices

Ah at this point it's not funny anymore real quick.
Honestly, I can't remember anything major I would've said to people, I guess either I'm too boring, too clean, or just can't remember at the top of my head lol.


McOi. Not my own captain, but a passenger on this ship.

Some of that sounded like Chat GPT or something.

I'll keep my lies close to my chest. Really, I'm not good at coming up with lies, if ya wanna know the truth.

Sure, here's a authentic and absolutely serious reveal about who you are, in your style and with some spelling errors:
>I'm actually a female German politician who decided to spend 3 years amongst the blind community to decide what Germany could do better regarding support for the blind. Hence, it's already more about time for me to get back to my government and leave this place. They told me it would be super authentic since I essencially could speak no English in 2022, and also would benefid me since this would be a perfect way of learning English. It was a enormous travel of selfdiscovery, reveals about my deepest identity to myself and an awesome orportunity to discover the mixed culture of blindies. So yes, for those who always assumed I sound a little to female, you got it right!
If there is anything you need changed, please let me know and I will change it. Let's rock!
