Here's what i posted on my facebook after a bad night with a couple of my friends.
"Ok, i have had enough. To everybody on my friend list that don't know ASL, Here's a few things deaf people absoultely hate having to deal with when they are hanging out with you..
1. When you get mad or frustrated that you can't talk to me. You don't think i feel the same? ( I have held back a lot of desire to punch people in the face whenever i see them SIGH in frustration)
2. When people ignore you. By ignoring, i mean whenever you try to talk to them and they brush it off as if it is nothing and keep doing whatever it is that they are doing. (this happen way too often)
3. When people give up trying to talk after a few attempts. (there are so many ways to talk to me, I am a person. I have feelings, It upsets me when you do this.)
4. I am not as naive as you may think i am. I can read lip pretty good and have seen people say many terrrible things about me right in front of my face. Show me some f***ing respect. To those who does this, One day, don't be surprised if my fist somehow accidentally land on your face.
5. Treat me as if i am like you all. Don't over do anything. I don't know why but a lot of hearing people likes to be extra touchy with me. I can understand a small tap on the shoulder to get my attention. But that is enough.
Mind some of the vuglar terms. I just needed to get that off my chest."
I would like to know if anybody have ever felt this way? I just sometimes feel like i am the only one here that feels this way. Anybody have any other things they don't like while socializing? This rant was a quickly written one, so i didnt really phrase a lot of things properly and in a nice manner. I was upset.
