It's surprisingly easy to lose track of exactly what you are doing if you are used to constantly getting visual confirmation.im confused how someone wouldnt beable to raise out their arms straight out with their eyes closed
you can tell you have lifted your arms and that gravity is weighing down on them, but you may try to compensate for it and end up with your arms arching just a bit too high up.
if you blindfold someone in a large open area and tell them to walk in a straight line, even if it's perfectly flat, tracing their path you will typically find them walking in giant circles.
most people are so used to writing while looking at what they write that if you blindfold them and tell them to write again, the letters start to fall apart and drift away from the line.
because we have vision we tend to get "just good enough" at something to a degree that we can correct for it while looking, but we don't tend to fully lock in the skill to the degree we can do it without looking. when people suddenly lose vision, even temporarily or just partially, a lot of the struggle in adapting is because they no longer have that visual feedback to correct for their mistakes.
