First off, I want to say thank you so much for all of your responses. This means a lot to me as it shows me that I'm not alone and that my situation is heard. I should have been more clear in my first post. I'm a first year in university and yes, I've heard that university/college is the best...

I actually don't know ASL so it's not possible for me to get an interpreter. Yes, it's my first year in Nursing, and a tutorial is basically a review of what we learned in lecture and involves discussion from all students. So it's like a formal conversation among all the students which is...

Some of you may have seen my posts regarding my personal acceptance of my own speech. First off, I'm going to describe the nature of my hearing loss and I do not want to see posts about me being not "deaf" for having a CI. I was born profoundly deaf in both ears and I'm now implanted with...

Exactly! But now after being judged and stared at, I'm so sick of it. In fact, when I started university and faced the "harsh" reality of the world, I've changed so much as a person. I became quieter because I don't really like talking or even having a conversation with a person in public...

Hahaha, this made me laugh. Yes, there are some people who literally stare at you - they look as though they are statuses because they do nothing but look at you all the time! I had this girl who would literally stop and just stare at me as though I'm a freak mutant or something.

I actually don't sign. But thanks for your answer.

loooooool, gotta love this answer!

Sometimes I have a hard time staring back at them but I don't know why.

LOL! Is there this shirt that I can actually purchase?

Sometimes when I find people staring at me, I would think, "oooo I'm so attractive!" lol (I'm not).

Thanks for your answers. So how do you deal with comments people throw at you?

Another reason to delete your Facebook account is because of those "self-narcisst" people. Honestly, who wants to see a person taking selfies every single 10 minutes on their NewsFeed?

Seriously, I'm so sick of getting stares from people. Every time I have a conversation with a friend in public, people would stare at me because of my "accent" or my technologies pertaining to my hearing loss (like cochlear implants). Sometimes they would come up to me and ask me if I'm mentally...

I grew up without an older male role model and it was really hard for me to cope with it. I feel so lost right now. I know women who were unfortunately in this situation are attracted to older men to seek the relationship with them that they have never had with their fathers (or lack thereof)...

Same thing happened to me. Lol, my brother was cussing at the person who handed me the headphones. It was too funny watching him cursing.

Actually, this is true. I can't think of a time where a person who has much advanced educational backgrounds has asked me a rude question. This insight is spot on.

Omg, I hate people who act this way. Really, we are just as capable as everyone else. At my school, when I first bought two cookies from a cafe, I would go up to the cashier and tell her what I'm purchasing. The first time, she didn't get me, so I repeated and said "TWO", not "three" (many...

I have been asked a multitude of questions about my hearing loss. Some of them include, "can you talk?" Of course, I'm not mute. "Why does your speech sound funny?" Then why does your hair look funny? (She has a disease that causes hair loss). "Oh really? You got an A+ in Calculus?" I'm glad you...

I'm a nursing student.

Thank you so much. FInally someone who can give me help. I know it's not going to be easy - I've been in speech therapy for 6 years and it was one of the most challenging experiences I've had in my entire life. I'm prepared for any setbacks I may come across in my journey. I know I won't...
