Hey, I had my round of rejections as well!
Hey, you are not the only one got rejected or name calling or misjudged by hearing people. I went through the same boat as you went through. Well, actually, this would be a bit different. In my case, since birth I was Hard of Hearing until August of 2004. I lost more hearing due to Tinnitus and menigre's. Well, I am glad to see both side of the fence thanks to my mom putting me in a residental school for the Deaf--an hour away from home and oh, I was so "hearing" in that school and of course, the DEAF picked on me for my ability to talk beautifully. Good speech, fellowship with the houseparents and teachers tend to be more of a norm for me than with other students. The school put me in much older boys' groups as time went by. Then after my plea with my mother to put me in a public school--Jr. High. I discovered the same old joke. The table turned! It was the HEARING students picked on me, teased me, and I ate alone during lunch daily but also the DEAF there did the same thing!
Same in the real world out there after I graduated from high school, the same old joke people are not hiring, or whatsoever problem they have. Hey, I had one ex girlfriend who is hearing and she was nuts! She tried to stab me! Another stole my car 2 years later then 5 years later, another wanted to hurt me by having me arrested for harassment that I did NOT do at all. FYI, I am fine, no stab injuries thanks to the car seat metal frame blocked the stab. That was where she tried to stab me because I had to dump her for using me for my car.
The one who stole my car was arrested and was on probation with reinstitution to pay for the damages to my car. Yes, they went over something like a rail according to the police. It was found in middle of a residental street.
The one who had me arrested, good news! Case DISMISSED! Clean as a freebird! All those troublemakers are hearing.
Funny, my wife is hearing. The only difference is how you associate with. You will not be ignored or teased or get named calling by NOT hanging around with those sore losers. You will know the differences like I went through. It had to take a stabbing, car stolen, and my arrest to see how much I CAN control my life. Same goes with whom I am with. Like my wife who loves me very much and my family loves me, and I have a great deaf friend. A nice interpreter my wife and I are friends with. Both my wife's and my family. All those came to the wedding last year are the nice ones. Not the sore losers!
