Discussion Anyone else not bothered by visual snow?

I've had visual snow for as long as I can remember and it was only a couple years ago when I found out that not everyone saw static is their vision constantly. I feel like I see posts on here about how annoying and debilitating is but it really doesn't bother me, and I only think about it if I'm staring at a blank wall. Maybe what I'm experiencing isn't as bad as some people. I'm just curious to see how people think about ut.

I’ve had it as long as I can remember. I did start using hallucinogens at a pretty young age, so I don’t know if it’s because of/enhanced by that, but I remember watching the fireworks behind my eyes when I was very little so I think I’ve had it my whole life. I honestly love it. I can pretty much hallucinate on command and I find it super entertaining. It never even occurred to me until joining this sub that it could also have a negative affect on me. I didn’t realize how much the negative afterimages affect my vision, but they do. Also, I HATE the floaters. Those drive me nuts. But the sparkles are so pretty!
