A woman of focus, commitment, and sheer will
To all of the introverts out there, how far would you go to avoid speaking and looking at other people? If you answered “stay at home,” you’re nowhere near as introverted as Carmen Jiménez, a woman from Spain who pretended to be blind for 28 years to avoid looking at others. Or so the internet would have us believe.
While her commitment to keeping to herself in public would be extraordinary, it’s ultimately fake. This news was spread across the internet in late-2017, and the article was shared over a million times. So, even though her ungodly anti-social behavior isn’t outstanding, the prank to fool the entire world was. We’d like to quote the great Abraham Lincoln: do not believe everything that you read on the internet.
