I Can't Stand It...

haha you go girl!
It happened to me many times that people make faces behind me when they tried to talk to me.. I just give a gentle looks.. and said with my voice "excuse me, I am deaf". some of them said.. "you can talk and you cant be deaf.. " I said.. "not all deaf cant talk but just cant hear".. hehe
 
i hate when people say deaf and dumb/i cant hear u/i'll tell u later/oh its nothing/its not important/ thinking i cant handle children (my sister. Explain after this) ..... talking to me after I am asking them for paper and pen, and alot more. UGH! stupid hearing peeps who give pity and be so damn cruel.

My story about my sis. Yes, my damn family. Anyway, I went over to my 2nd oldest sister who needed a babysitter. I babysat and was doing great. The kids are fine. I sat down to be on internet then I got instant message by my mother telling me that another sister, the 3rd oldest is going to get to the house to help out. I blew off telling them I can do it and dont need damn help. They start fighting with me and I told her, if she stopped by, I aint opening the goddamn door. They got pissed and said fine, if 2nd oldest pissed at u and its YOUR problem. I said DAMN RIGHT IT WILL BE! They shut up and left me alone. That night, my 2nd oldest came home and gulped! The kids are in bed and the house was clean. After that everyone said their sorry and never asked me like this shit again. I proved them wrong. :D
 
I can't stand it when a hearing person dont use facial expressions
 
Wow! I never thought so many would have complaints. It's good for me to learn your views on life and hearing persons.

Question: Do you find that most hearing persons are guilty in regards to your comments, or do most treat you properly?

I have never had the pleasure to meet a deaf person in my life. I can't imagine why some hearing individuals would react in such a manner. Maybe they're unsure or fearful, ignorant or uneasy. I'm certain some are just rotten to the bone. It's a mystery to me. People are people and that's that. It's the world we live in and education is the key.

Remember that not all hearing folks are this way. I'm surely not. My questions are meant to learn your angle as a deaf person and they must not be regarded as an attack on your culture.

Please continue to post/vent more of your feelings.
 
I totally feel what most of you are saying about hearings... I so grow tired of my siblings telling me they will not repeat things that they just said just because I cannot hear (like they were even looking at me at all) and they leave me out of many conversations so I've learned to stop bothering with the convos at mealtimes and stuff (thankfully, Zach has come along and changed that a little bit so I'm starting to talk again at mealtimes and stuff... Some days I'm more quiet than usual and other days I would be talkative, it depends).

Also, I can't stand it when a hearing person who knows sign language takes advantage of me by talking to someone else without signing with me around. I feel like I'm being backstabbed.

And I can't stand it when I ask a hearing person to repeat or rephrase a sentence or our conversation, that person just rolls the eyes or gives me a dirty look (even if it's a friend or a stranger). :( I can't help it when I don't understand what she / he said at all times.

Most of all, I can't stand being left out alone in a group conversation with hearing participants. :| I often keep asking them what we're talking about because I cannot keep track of everyone's speaking at all times.

:werd: i agree everything here... at work, hearing people
got very annoyed with me because I always asked
"What's up ? What's going on ?? " That's why I stopped
ask them anymore and then I simply ignored them
for good. Of course, I got very annoyed with them for
NOT Telling me "everything"....

Of course, They noticed that i do NOT ask them
anymore and they also noticed that I ignore them so that
way I have more time to do with my computer here.
They asked for it... The wall between them and me
is getting thicker and thicker.
 
I cannot stand it around my family's reunion or gathering for holidays. They tend talk talk so fast. Impossible for me to catch up with the family news. Of course, they leave me out. Me famously watch TV or join kids for playing time when I was young.
Now, I am an adult. Lost interesting for go to any family reunion or gathering. Surprsie they did not even complain for Lessy's MIA.
Also I cannot stand for my family's sayng to me. They told me they plan to visiting my home. At begin, I was excited, for many years, they never even take any trip to visit my home at all. All I have to come over to my family's home more. That's suck. That why I cannot stand with their talking.
 
I can't stand it when people are so surprised that I have two boys to look after. They look at me like, "What, you can take care of babies??" I was like, DUH! I'm a woman and I am capable of living a "normal" family life. :slap: hearing people

Another thing I can't stand is when they reply "YOU DRIVE?!?" I was like Yeah, duh! I can see, read, and pay attention so I can drive! "You know what, it's a fact that a deaf driver does it better than a hearing driver?" I said that to these people who are like that. They looked at me like, "Bullshit." So I told them go do some research on it! After a while, they came back to me apologizing. :rme:

One more thing that I can't stand is that some hearing people don't even realize that I can speak well enough to carry on some conversation. They asked me how did you do that if you can't hear yourself. I was like, practices in many years. :thumb:
