Have you as a deaf person who lives in hearing world (I'm talking about if you don't have any deaf friends nearby like I didn't...) always got left out of conversations, friendship, parties, etc.? How do you cope with it? It makes me angry and depressed whenever my coworkers would hang out or throw parties and I'm not invited. I've even acknowledge them that I know about the party but they then lied about there being no party or coworkers aren't going there (particularly no one I know) and then I find out next day that all of my coworkers and a lot of friends I know went to this party. Or then when my coworker got fired and she was crying and upset, I offered her to take her out to the beach just to take her mind off things. She was so glad and said yes..: then later when I was ready to pick her up after i got off work, she said never mind she's out with two of my coworkers and ahem, she never invited me. I feel very hurt by this and every time I know that I'm always being left out. I know of course it's because I'm deaf. So how do you cope with that?
