Haha, she'd probably just become a troll. She has me blocked so I decided to return the gesture and delete her as well. People like her don't seem to ever change- it's been 7 years and she's still the same.
While it's arguable that I do have a slight accent and tendacy to mispronounce things, I actually do consider myself to speak quite clearly to the point people don't even realize I'm deaf and I have to give an awkawrd chuckle and explain to them I have no clue what they're saying. Which brings me to another point of being deaf, alot of times theit attitude completely changes after I mention this.
EX- a new years party last month I was at the pool table at my uncles pirvate bar playing pool with a friend of my dads, after the game was over other people wanted to play so it was 2 on 2 teams, I got paired up with this dude I don't even know and he starts talking to me and gesturing at the table as if I was some normal person, a nice feeling. I just laugh and nod for awhile but as he talks more, I explain to him I can't hear then he asks me "But, you can understand me right?" which took me awhile to catch on because i'm not an expert at lip reading but fairly decent. I tell him barely, then after that he just gets uncomfortable and doesn't talk, turns his attention away and talks to other people.
Awhile into the game I comment on the music, that it's quite loud. Thankfully he seemed to understand how I'm able to realize musics playing and gestures on his chest and says "you feel it?" I'm like yeah. That's about it. It sucks being exluded from social conversations. I don't blame him, but it doesn't feel too great when you can't talk to people because A. They don't want or know how to actually put an effort out to converse with you. B. They view you as a freak. C. They consider you dumb<- the last one i hate so much...
If people could just give me a chance I'd prove that I'm a pretty interesting person but I shouldn't have to prove that. It's not exactly fair how people label others off the bat and simply exlude them based on solely an assumption. I hate it when others do this to people as well and I try to avoid giving people a label unless I know them and how they are, that chick? I know she's a bitch
