OMG I can relate [Moments you think others can relate to]

Anyone else do this?
When I wake up, it looks like I'm looking through frosted glass.
Needless to say, I've run into things many times. My bed is
the worst--that thing hurts.

Frosted glass is a great way to explain it! I've never thought
of it that way!
I walk into everything too. The thing that scares me the most
though in the morning are the stairs outside my bedroom.
They're between my room and the bathroom and I'm always afraid
I'm going to misplace a step fall down them. Which I have done
before, it hurts. At least they're carpeted unlike the stairs
at my grandparent's house (which I have also fallen down).
Stairs are the worst.

That sounds awful. It's hard for me to manage stairs even when
I can see them. A few days ago, I missed one of the steps
walking out my door and I fell down so quick on the concrete. I
think my body saved me the way I fell because I could have
easily twisted my ankle. I'm constantly thanking my body and
reflexes because they can help even when my eyes can't.
Another thing I do is when someone is showing me something, like
a joke picture or something, I laugh. Even though I can't see
it. I've faked so many times.

Same here, like when my friend tries to show me a funny picture
on her phone. Its always too small and she forgets I can't see
so I laugh so I don't hurt her feelings.
