U are not the only one..I am deaf and fluent in sign language but I still get left out from time to time especially with my softball team. They all are Gallaudet students or all know each other from Gallaudet and I grew up mainstreamed so there are times I am left out with them. I love to play softball so I am there to play. Ha!
However, I have many friends not on the team in the deaf community so I am not worried about being close with my teammates.
It just takes time to find certain people that u will click with. Pls dont feel bad cuz it happens to many deaf people especially those who grew up orally. It took me a while and lots of frustrating times to get to where I am in the deaf community.
Maybe there are hearing people at those events and can start out with them?
