i love being deaf i am unable to be deprecated from my deaf identity not only physically like my body but also culturally i am Deaf with a big D i am a Deaf Person and i wouldn’t want it any other way. BUT. my least favorite thing is when my batteries will die in the middle of a social event with only hearing people and i don’t have a replacement battery and everyone else knows what’s going on and i don’t. i genuinely don’t think so many of y’all really understand how much information you take in by hearing alone. my least favorite feeling is sitting there helplessly while i see my (very nice and well meaning) hearing friends talk about something and laugh and then by the time they type out a cliff notes summary of what’s happening if they even do that the conversation has moved on and god forbid there’s a big group. i just sit there. clueless. i want to know what’s going on around me even if it’s not “important”. you don’t know how much information i’m missing. i’m gonna start biting.
hearing people wtf is happening

I'm late but as another deaf person REALLL I CANT HEAR SHIT AND EVERYONE ELSE IS HAVING FUN AND IM JUST THERE ALONE. dw ur not alone and while i'm only like half deaf I also have auditory processing disorder so even if I hear someone 9/10 I didn't process what they said especially at a loud social event.
