Hi my name is Vydia I am 22 years old I have always struggled to hear but it started quickly deteriorating at 10 years old I am now almost fully deaf but my family refuses to learn sign and there is no deaf community in this small part of NC I’ve never felt I belong anywhere I lip read and use hearing aids but I’m treated as an outsider in the hearing world but I’m worried I’m not deaf enough for the deaf world I have no knowledge on deaf culture due to having no choice but to learn English and to lip read I’m teaching myself ASL now but I have no one else who signs I am lonely and just want to communicate without feeling so confused exhausted and upset I want to belong and interact with friends please message me if you’d like to become friends especially if you’re Waynesville NC Asheville NC area thank you
