Why are some people not accepting of their deafness?

 

I have a imponderables question about late deafness? I have always wondered why some people who become deaf late or just deaf, don’t appreciate their deafness? Why can’t some people who don’t accept their deafness, learn to accept their deafness? In my mind, I would ask those people, what wrong with being deaf? Personally my opinion, those people who don’t accept their deafness has never been educated about deaf culture and they never learned the great things we can do as being deaf, like the beauty of sign language and we tend to be more visual about many things too and there’s more to list. Some of us who can use hearing aids are capable of basically controlling how much we want to hear. I have a friend, who was born hearing but became hard of hearing as a kid, he accepts his hearing loss but he was also born in a whole hearing family and has problems with sign language cuz of his hands and the brain won’t get along. So it makes it hard for him to sign. He often gets rejected by deaf community for that reason. So he basically kinda given up deaf community. I would never do that though. I will always love being deaf and I always have fully accepted my deafness since I was a little kid… I have deaf pride in me… I think deaf culture is very unique to me… So pls do share stories with me and ur experience with the issue about some people who don’t accept their deafness.

My love with fixer upper houses and route 66

 

I talk about my interests… I love checking out things about route 66, “the mother road” and checking out the “lost buildings” on the internet and the book. I love comparing before and after picture of things like buildings on route 66 and houses. I also love looking at fixer upper houses and houses that need work and haunted houses, I love checking them out. Thought I would never live in a fixer upper house. What about you guys? Do u like checking out haunted houses or fixer uppers houses? How about route 66? Any stories??       here the link to information about Route 66, the mother road,
