If someone has a blindspot, trying to talk with them about the thing they’re not seeing will feel weird. You’ll keep saying things and the conversation will sort of circle around the thing you’re trying to point at, or it may feel hard to even put the thing into words while trying to translate it into the other person’s frame, or hard to even stay in touch with the thing yourself while talking with the other person.
This is exactly true of the colorblindness thing, though.
Like, I was with you up until the quoted lines; that’s what it’s like to e.g. try to explain “red” to someone who can’t perceive red, and didn’t even realize what red is. You keep pointing at red objects and they nod along, you have a hard time putting redness into words while trying to speak in terms they’ll understand, you find yourself maybe even being like “gosh, what is red, though, geez,” etc.
