Although I'm an intense extrovert, there aren't many places I can go where I can socialize like I can at Deaf Coffee because of my CAPD. I have been nothing but grateful that something like Deaf Coffee exists where I can talk with wonderful and patient people without my hearing issues being a problem.

No, *I* feel sad, wistful, or regretful that my sign skills are not yet at the point where I feel confidant that I can communicate with a deaf person who doesn't have to work really hard to understand me.
