June, this is a great realization that mental strain can lead to eyestrain, and so blurrier vision. In fact I think mental strain and visual strain are the same thing! It’s so excellent that you are taking charge of your vision this way. Congratulations!

Not perfect yet, but keep on improving. When I am facing mental strain, I will blocked up myself and start staring. By imagine a swinging dot or long swing are helping me to relax more.

You’re right – most people are too worried about what you think of them to be judging you. Keep up the good work!

Every time I m meeting new people to do someting with them I found this impulse in me to tell them I m near sighted. probably to prevent them for finding me strange acting because i can t see their faces clearly or objects. Of course I never tell anything, reasoning they probably don t really care about my sight.

I love your awareness. Someone recently told me “busy” is the new “fine”, both being a mask we can hide behind, refusing to look at (or show) what’s really happening with us. Pretending is seldom a good idea.

You probably already wrote about this some time before, but your post made me think of a similar issue – when you mentioned ‘closing one’s eyes on a problem’ or lying to oneself, I think this is also why we sometimes run away from the real issue and bury ourselves under tons of minor issues that have no real impact on our lives. A sort of ‘pretending to be busy’ thing, while avoiding the real problem – I wonder if I make myself clear 🙂
