    How do you handle those "deaf" ppl who try to sell those ASL cards?

    Yes I had met a cpl...one guy I only met once and one guy that stayed with us for a few months. I really didn't know the first one but he seemed nice. The second one (Scott) was great, we got along really well, Him being Deaf was a non issue to me, I just tried really hard to remember to look...

    I'm not mad as much as I am hurt. Yes, I used to hear and now I don't..It is hard enough to feel accepted in any world. Comments like those make me feel that I am alone..no longer hearie but I guess not a good enough deafie. I don't need to practice being deaf...got that one down. I am sorry...

    Yeah..my thoughts exactly!! I was thinking WTF?! I did get him to explain and he said that I was a really great dancer (not meaning to brag but yes I am) and it helps that I've been told by others and not just my mom...:D and he was just shocked that a deaf girl could dance at all let alone...

    I have the same problem as you Beclak. Because my speech "doesn't sound deaf" (hearie quote) then ppl think I'm lying or they forget that I need to lipread them and forget to look at me. Even one family member (mommy dearest) thinks I'm faking. Now granted we aren't close and only talk at...
