I know no matter what im not going to belong on my first day. Im not really afraid of being corrected, im more afraid of not being welcome. Not saying i think deaf people are mean but if everyone is deaf and im the only hearing person i dont want them to look at me like "who invited you?" You...

I know the feeling, you cant learn about culture from someone who isnt a part of it.

Ah probably

You know everyone says dont wake a sleepwalking person. I wonder why. All the doctors ive asked either say its fine to wake them or its even good to wake them. She also has night terrors though. I bet if i woke her shed get scared. Ill try the bathroom thing next time. The last time she slept...

I have a little one in my family who sleep walks and it scares the living hell out of me. Not because im afraid of what she'll do, all she does is roam around and wander back to bed. But because it freaks me out when she walks around with her eyes closed. She reminds me of a ghost. I imagine it...

Aw, thats horrible. That you were bullied i mean. May i ask why? You dont have to answer if thats too personal a question. Im glad you confronted your problem though. My nightmares arent related to anything i can confront in the same way as you did, but thats what the therapy is for. I wish i...

Aw thank you ladies!

What were their pointers? I went through a phase of sleepwalking in my teens too. But it went away on its own after highschool. At least i hope it did lol

Ugh that sucks! I hate only sleeping for a few hours at a time. When im under a lot of stress i wake up every hour like clockwork, then it takes me an hour to go to sleep, and an hour later i wake up. I get what you mean about fighting in your sleep. Ive always been a wild sleeper myself. One...

I have a question for the deaf members of the community. I am very interested in going to some of the deaf events in my area but i am SUPER scared. I dont want to look like a tourist in a foriegn land, but i know for certain i will. My question is, for those of you that frequent these events...

Thank you! Ill remember that

Lol thank you for the second welcome. Im really not trying to offend anyone or sound offputting. I really hope ill make a lot of new friends here. Teachers or not if you know what i mean.

So, ive been scrolling through some of the other forums and conversations here and i think i went about introducing myself the wrong way. As i said in my first introduction, im not deaf, im hearing, but i am very interested in learning sign language. Let me tell you a little bit more about...

Wow, i didnt realize how offensive a hearing person trying to learn sign language could come across as. I speak fluent english, and am learning spanish. If i had to rate my spanish on a scale of one to ten i would say im at a four. But even with the little bit of spanish i do know, spanish...

Wow. Firstly, i am so sorry for your loss. Second, i admire your confidence in yourself, i cant trust my brain for nothing! And third, even though your dreams predicted some pretty awful things, thats still an amazing talent.

Yeah, it bummed me out for a few days. Went home feeling like a failure. But it made me want to practice more. Only thing about practicing is it isnt enough to do it by yourself, you also need to practice reading other people when they sign. I want to go to the deaf events in my area but they're...

I've always wondered this myself. I actually had an encounter with a deaf person at my job who got pretty frustrated with me. I needed to see her drivers license and i kept signing it to her again and again, and she kept repeating this one sign that i took to mean she didnt understand me. So i...

Thank you. May I ask either of you ladies how things work around here? I'm obviously new and I joined to make some new friends, but I don't want to come across as weird, you know? Do people usually make new friends around here, or do the veterans sort of stick to themselves?

So all my life, just like everyone else, ive had ordinary dreams that i forget about the second i wake up and those dreams that seem to make no sense at all but you cant forget. One of the things i love most about my therapist is he always takes my dreams as seriously as i do. In the sense that...

Thank you :)
