First of all, try not to think of it as a curse!! The deaf people and thier culture both can be amazing and wonderful, it may be hard to get use to but it is mans nature not to accept change. You will find that some also do not accept deafness with aploze, and others would never give up being deaf for anything in the world because of the appreciation for the deaf culture and some of the wondful people. It is like getting amnesia and remembering everything about yourself except you remember one of two languages and its not your primary one, so now you have to make the best of it to be happy or sad and hope others in your life will change with you. I think you are taking a step in the right direction by coming to All Deaf, because you will find great people here but remember that it is not a curse if you can't hear your boss yelling and whining when you didn't bow as you approach him/her, it is only change and you have a heads up if you already know deaf people. I don't think you meant to insult anyone who accepts their deafness when you call it a curse, but understand that some may not give a warm wecome if you call it that too many times, I think they would like to help, live happy and keep your head up.
I think we like derekdg already. Who are you?
