I was born with color blindness, which means I have trouble telling certain colors apart. When I was younger, I didn’t even realize that I saw things differently from others. It was only when people started pointing it out that I began to understand. At first, it didn’t bother me much because I had never known anything different. But as I grew older, I started to feel a little left out when my friends would talk about colors, like the beauty of a sunset or the different shades in a painting.

Simple daily tasks became a challenge. Picking out clothes on my own was tricky because I couldn’t always match colors correctly. Sometimes, I would wear outfits that looked fine to me but seemed strange to others. In school, color-coded charts and maps were confusing. Even small things, like telling if a banana was ripe or knowing if meat was properly cooked, could be difficult.

At first, these struggles made me feel frustrated. I wished I could see the world the way everyone else did. But over time, I learned to adapt. I found ways to work around my color blindness by asking for help when needed and using labels or patterns to recognize things. Now, I have learnt to live with it. Anyone in the forum happens to know others with similar condition, I would like to know and interact?
