Does the sense of sight usually affect your reaction towards something?
This is a weird question. But I was just wondering if the fact that you actually see something changes the way you react to it. I cant exactly explain it in much depth.
For example, if you were in the dark, or let’s say you were too tired and you have your eyes closed, _ as long as its dark _ and feel something like an insect or whatever creeping on you, would you just push it off or squish it with your hand and think; it doesn’t matter I can’t see it anyway. In other words, does it decrease your fear of the thing itself?
Or think of any other example as long as you understand what I mean. It can be anything. Interpret it like you want, but give a useful answer. :)

Well you use all your senses in order to interpet something but when one sense is taken away your others are hightened. I can’t say it will frighten me but it would make my other sense more aware of them in a different way instead of using sight as a mean to seeing something.
Yes. I use my sight to be aware of things, so it certainly is a part of my reaction to things.
Yes. When I see Justin Bieber I just want to smash him.
That’s not what you had in mind?
Yes, well it very nearly did just then.. I thought at first glance it read erection! :-/
Towards something…… fortunately it all came into focus.. Where are my glasses!? :-/

Granted… as you can see, I’m lost without my glasses… it can be very frustrating but also a relief not to be able to see stuff that could have a negative impact on my thoughts ;-)
Mr Magoo springs to mind Lol…..
Yes, seeing something/ someone often initially modifies how I think or feel. After that new data has been taken in, I go from there—but rarely if ever stop there.
For example, if I’m looking at houses, physically seeing a place vastly modifies the impression gotten from its listing. However, even though I appreciate a pretty or colorful house, I’m still going to take a closer look for things like dry rot.
Of course sight changes our perception and reaction to something. Say a serial killer was holding a knife and had a crazed look in his eye and grabbed our arm but we couldn’t see if it was him or just our old neighbor.
Until we got more clues, we might not be afraid.
