Most people can't seem to wrap their heads around the fact that I am 100% colorblind. I have been since birth. The reason that it is such a hard concept to understand is because those who are not colorblind already have knowledge of what colors look like, where as I have no reference point for the color red for instance. Once people learn of my lack of color vision the first phase begins, "The Incredulity Phase" as I like to call it. Which usually consists of people asking a barrage of questions like; "What color is my shirt?", "What color is house across the street?", "You really don't see any color at all?" etc. etc. etc.
Once people get the questions out of the way they advance to the next phase, "The Testing Phase" (this is my favorite phase by the way). For anyone that stays in my life for any amount of time longer than it takes me to tell them that I am colorblind, they start to come up with ways to test me to see if I am telling the truth or not; "Hey would you mind getting me that blue folder on the desk?", "Hey can you get me the red highlighter?". they are usually trivial tasks such as these, but none the less it gets tediously annoying being tested all the time.
After someone has finally accepted the fact that I am colorblind comes the final stage, the "Oh Shit I Forgot" phase. This phase is pretty much just like the "testing phase" except this phase lacks the skepticism of the former; "Hey can you get me the blue folder on the desk?... Oh shit dude, I'm sorry I forgot. Its the folder in the middle."
Very few people remember that I am colorblind and to those that do, I am grateful to you. You are awesome!
So that you may see things the way I see them take a look at these
