blind quote

A blind quote is an estimate of the cost or service when no, or limited research is done to pin point a more accurate amount or timeline. This is less through than a standard estimate where time is available and given to narrow down a more likely cost or timeframe.
I pushed the guy at the repair shop to tell me some amount for my brake repair. He gave me a blind quote, but said this is his best guess without seeing it, and thus not official.

Emotional Color Blindness

Just as color perception (and in turn blindness) exists on a spectrum, so too does the ability to experience emotions.

Most people who experience color deficiency, do not have issues with all color (red and green are most common). Color blindness can also come with heightened awareness in other areas...like better than average night vision or a keener sense of smell.

These details parallel well when describing people with emotional deficiencies, in that:

(1.) Someone on the spectrum for narcissistic traits, often still keenly feels rage, envy, hatred and fear.

(2.) Narcissists experience the above emotions more often and at greater intensity than the average person, BECAUSE they lack the ability to feel other emotions (like empathy) which might otherwise (ironically) diminish and balance those feelings out.

(3.) Even a full blown psychopath with no neurotypical fear response, (I.E. only feels an adrenaline rush) is not 100% emotionally colorblind. They still experience pleasure in a limited, ego driven sort of way. If this were not the case, they would have no motivation to do anything, (including anything bad.)

(4.) Total lack of emotional feeling and complete colorblindness, are both incredibly rare, and can signal something more serious...like a brain injury or a neurological condition.
I've never heard someone say they wish they were colorblind, but I've heard a ton of people say they wish they lacked certain feelings, because they think it would solve all their problems. This is kind of like thinking you could avoid getting stuck in traffic if you no longer saw the red in a red light. Emotion is not the heart of the problem.

Emotional color blindness might very well take away things like: codependence, trauma responses and making personal sacrifices for conscientious decisions...but it would also diminish your capacity for joy and your ability to have meaningful relationships with anybody.

Better to sort out the kinks, then throw the whole baby out with the bathwater.

Partner Blindness

Partner Blindness (PB) allows your partner to not see any of the things that needs to be done... like bathroom look like a frat house, partner blindness allows them to see it as the Ritz Carlton... garbage overflowing? PB allows them to walk right by... 5 baskets of laundry sitting on the table needing to go upstairs? PB allows for them to become very resourceful and eat on the square inch that is not covered
Is your Partner Blindness acting up? Can you not see the massive amount of dishes in the sink?
