Pretending to be blind for 28 years because of being lazy to greet people

5 POINT True or False | EP.1: Pretend to be blind for 28 years because you're lazy to say hello to people.

Have you ever felt tired of smiling or stopped greeting acquaintances on the road? But for a Spanish woman named Carmen Jimenez, she decided to solve this problem in an unexpected way.

Carmen reportedly told family and friends that she had been in an eye accident "completely blind," and that she had lived in the darkness for 28 years! For nearly three decades, her husband had to keep her around, and she had been through it without anyone suspecting.

Until one day, the secret broke, when the family started to notice that she was peeking at the TV from the tail of her eye, or sometimes she was wearing makeup more than a blind person could.

And finally, she confessed, "I've been pretending to be blind for 28 years because she hates socializing and doesn't want to waste time talking to anyone on the street." This became a huge news to the Spanish medical community and society.

...

Do you think this is true?

If you think this is true...You are wrong!

The story of "Carmen Himenez," who pretended to be blind because he didn't want to say hello to people, was fake news and was very famous in 2017.

The root of this story was first written by Hay Noticia, a Spanish "social satire" website that focuses on writing funny stories (like the foreign onion) to mock human behavior.

Because the plot has impressed Introvert people around the world, many online media have translated and shared it without checking the source, so that people believe it's true.

... Read moreเรื่องราวของคาร์เมน ฮิเมเนซ ที่แกล้งตาบอดนานถึง 28 ปีเพราะความเหนื่อยล้าจากการเข้าสังคม ถือเป็นหนึ่งในข่าวลวงที่ได้รับความสนใจเป็นอย่างมาก โดยต้นทางของข่าวนี้มาจากเว็บไซต์แนวเสียดสีสังคมของสเปนที่มีชื่อว่า Hay Noticia ซึ่งเป็นเว็บไซต์ที่สร้างเนื้อหาขำขันและล้อเลียนพฤติกรรมมนุษย์ เรื่องราวของคาร์เมนเองถูกเล่าผ่านเลนส์ของเสียดสี สะท้อนถึงอารมณ์ความรู้สึกของผู้ที่มีบุคลิกภาพแบบอินโทรเวิร์ต หรือชอบเก็บตัว ที่บางครั้งรู้สึกเหนื่อยกับการต้องทักทายหรือเข้าสังคมกับผู้คนรอบข้าง การที่ข่าวนี้ถูกนำไปแชร์ต่อในสื่อออนไลน์ต่างประเทศโดยไม่มีการตรวจสอบแหล่งที่มาจริงจัง จึงทำให้ผู้คนจำนวนมากเข้าใจผิดคิดว่าเหตุการณ์นี้เกิดขึ้นจริงขึ้นมาได้ สิ่งนี้สะท้อนให้เห็นในยุคที่ข่าวปลอมและข้อมูลเท็จแพร่กระจายได้เร็วและกว้างขวางในโลกออนไลน์ สิ่งที่น่าสังเกตอีกอย่างคือความสามารถของคาร์เมนในการแอบมองทีวีจากหางตาหรือลงแต่งหน้าอย่างเป๊ะปัง ซึ่งขัดกับคำยืนยันว่าเธอตาบอดสนิท ประสบการณ์ส่วนตัวที่ผมพบคือ การที่บางคนเลือกหลีกเลี่ยงการเข้าสังคมก็เป็นเรื่องปกติ ไม่ว่าจะเป็นความรู้สึกเหนื่อยจากการต้องมีปฏิสัมพันธ์กับคนอื่น หรือความต้องการเวลาส่วนตัวมากขึ้น การแสดงออกเช่นนี้อาจมีหลากหลายรูปแบบ ตั้งแต่การลดการติดต่อสื่อสาร ไปจนถึงการหลีกเลี่ยงสถานการณ์ที่ต้องพูดคุยโดยตรง แต่การเลือกแกล้งตาบอดตลอด 28 ปีถือเป็นสิ่งที่เกินความเป็นจริงอย่างมาก และไม่น่าเกิดขึ้นได้จริงในชีวิตประจำวัน เรื่องราวนี้จึงสามารถเป็นบทเรียนสำคัญในการตระหนักถึงความสำคัญของการตรวจสอบข้อมูล และการเข้าใจความรู้สึกของผู้คนในสังคมโดยไม่ตัดสินโดยตรง นอกจากนี้ยังเป็นตัวอย่างที่ดีของพลังของข่าวไวรัลที่อาจส่งผลกระทบทั้งในแง่บวกและลบในวงกว้าง โดยเฉพาะอย่างยิ่งในยุคดิจิทัลที่ข่าวสารเข้าถึงง่าย ความระมัดระวังและการไตร่ตรองข่าวสารก่อนเชื่อถือจึงเป็นสิ่งจำเป็นอย่างยิ่ง

Here’s the thing nobody admits — stacks of half-filled journals are normal. It doesn’t mean you “failed.” It means you started, you wrote what you needed in that season, and then you moved on. Sometimes a journal is just a chapter, not the whole story. And isn’t that the point? Life changes. We

10 Signs he's only pretending to love you.
1.) He is loving only when it’s convenient. When he wants something, he’s attentive. When you need him, he’s unavailable. Truth: Real love isn’t seasonal. 2.) He avoids real commitment. He enjoys the benefits of the relationship. But avoids clear plans about the future. Promises stay vague.
