Eat carrots!! They keep the eyes strong... so they say! One day we will all, maybe need glasses, it's a hardship but not a shame. Just life.
Redditor u/araarq wanted to know who was willing to admit who needed some vision help, by asking.... People with glasses, when did you realize you needed them?
The Board.
GiphyI couldn't read clearly what's written on the board during my grade school lectures. swordarcher
No Touching!
I jokingly took off my friends glasses in gym after they had fallen off and I could see the clock at the end of the room and was very confused as to why people looked at me like I was crazy when I pointed that out because I though that no one else could see the clock but nope. mutepaladin
Out of Focus...
It was actually really hard for me to tell. I was 13 when I first got them. When I was 11, my eye doctor told me I could've gotten them then or wait another year. I opted to wait, but then we moved and we didn't go to the eye doctor until I was 13. Because of that I always knew in the back of my mind that I'd need glasses, but I never noticed anything too blurry or out of focus.
Or so I thought. I just assumed everyone saw like me or just a little better than me. Then the day I first got my glasses, I realized I was supposed to see things further away and that trees weren't just lumps of green on top of lumps of brown. I could perfectly see the writing on the board at school. It was an awakening for sure. agd504
The Pub.
I was in a pub at 18, me and a bunch of my friends saw a group of guys enthusiastically playing Magic the Gathering in the corner. Cheering when someone won and swapping over to the next match.
We decided as we would be there a while to put a bet on. I said 50p on the Harry Potter lookalike. Everyone was confused. I repeated the boy that looks exactly like Daniel Radcliffe. One of my friends jokingly said. Here try my glasses. I put them on and wow...it was like HD. He looked nothing like Harry Potter. I was instantly aware I needed to get glasses and a week later o was a speccy fool. eskimolee
The Trees....
GiphyNot me but my brother said he found out he needed them when he learned trees had individual leaves and it wasn't just one green mass (he's near sighted). oxy-rambles
In my Eyes...
When I was little I kept standing up from the couch and walk up to the television to stand just before it. My mom realized this had to do something with my eyes. Jimmyfloydd
Off to Class....
When my geography teacher called home saying that I'm walking out of my seat every minute to copy off the black board. lmaokei
Haha, I had to do this too. After class ended in high school, I would hurriedly rush up to the board and try to copy everything before rushing off to my next class. I couldn't figure out why nobody else was doing that. I figured they just didn't care about school as much as I did. Sophomore year finally realized I needed glasses. natedern
Blurred....
I had one eye get much worse than the other one. In sixth grade I was winking at a girl and suddenly noticed that the room was blurry. I rapidly alternated between eyes to test my vision and I think the girl assumed I was having a seizure. shortymike
Don't Hang Up!
In 5th grade I told my mom I couldn't see the board in class. She didn't believe me and thought I just wanted to have glasses (for no reason). My teacher finally had to call her herself. meganlloyd24
So close... yet so far....

There's nothing wrong being a fan of someone or something, no matter how fanatical you get.
Though it would be in everyone's best interest to learn how to temper those feelings around others, as not everyone will share your passionate feelings.
Just ask any Yankees fan who's dared to wear their team's cap in Boston...
Curious to hear of possible identifiers signaling that someone is suspicious, Redditor PsychologicalPop8776 asked:
"What is a subtle sign someone isn’t a good person?"
These familiar types of behavior really shows a person's true colors.
It Works Both Ways
"They believe that respect is earned but demand it immediately from you."
– GrilledCheeser
Prelude To A Diss
"Or, conversely, when they love to constantly say 'With all due respect' right before they disrespect someone."
– putdownthekitten
A World Of Their Own
"Someone who is incapable of reflecting. They are the centre of their own universe. They are unable to grasp the big picture or how they fit within it. Everyone has a place in the larger picture, which is their small view of the world."
– No_Maximumdse
Untrustworthy
"They share private information about others with you."
– RaeDeclin
Spewing Falsities
"Casual unnecessary lying."
– Dense_Composer_8479
Saying "sorry" is too much for some people to say.
Passing On Responsibility
"Not owning up to their mistakes and always attributing it to someone or something else."
– tiredandsad1
Feigning Ignorance
"My mom's famous line when caught doing something wrong 'Well, I didn't know' instead of 'I'm sorry.'"

Familiar Quote
"Obligatory posting of The Narcissist's Prayer:"
'That didn’t happen.
And if it did, it wasn’t that bad.
And if it was, that’s not a big deal.
And if it is, that’s not my fault.
And if it was, I didn’t mean it.
And if I did, you deserved it.'

Sometimes, it's the visible signals that indicate what kind of person someone is.
The Polluter
"Littering. It's not a violent act or anything, but it does indicate a lack of respect that usually carries into other aspects of the person's life."
– BeskarVagina
Red Flag
"Yes. Watched a guy stick his gum on the underside of the bar and instantly knew we wouldn’t be going on another date."
– muscle_princess_
Parking Lot Protocol
"Yes, kinda along the same lines of people who don’t return their grocery cart. That lack of respect."
– marlynwor
Communicating With Drivers
"I feel the same way about a number of things people do when driving, specifically using your turn signal. The use of your signal lets other drivers (and sometimes pedestrians) know your intent - allowing them to better anticipate your actions. Not using it indicates you are only thinking about yourself...which is probably how you live the rest of your life."
– evilthales
I was in a packed movie theater once when I saw a woman sitting by herself. She wasn't waiting on anyone but she still saved a seat on either side of her.
When a couple entered her row, one of them politely asked if it would be cool if the woman moved down one seat so she could sit together with her boyfriend.
The woman said, "No" and stayed in her seat. I could hear a chorus of snickers from other audience members witnessing this.
Shocked, the girlfriend said, "Really? You're a horrible person."
Yeah, sounds about right.
Throughout the entire movie, the couple–who wound up flanking the woman on either side of her in their respective seats–kept passing the popcorn bucket to each other right in front of the woman.
In addition to the movie, this was a satisfying plot line to watch.
