The friends you have in hs will probably not be the friends you have throughout your life. People do change, you Shel no longer live in the hearing community, you 'in effect' turned your back on that community when you embraced ASL and the deaf community. Your needs changed from what you grew up with to something else.
Why can a person who embraces their new hearing status not make the same decision type of change (only in reverse) without someone saying it's strange, perhaps the Deaf community was not really where they wanted to be from the start, even tho they were and are deaf without an implant.
It's not weird that some choose to move into a different world because all through life we all make choices and our needs and friends change with those choices. Not all deaf/hoh people need close contact with other deaf/hoh people.
