How to communicate with me! #DeafVersion

I don't know what it is with people around me, they seem to be either afraid of talking with me or avoid me altogether.  It is not with stranger only;but also with families including relatives, parents etc.. Since I was kid, people has been doing this to me making me feel kinda alien. At some point, I was relating with alien in the movie more than human, *chuckle*.(And the alien are villain in the movie(  -_-). But I am starting to understand it bit why people behave with me like that. I think it is that  I am deaf, people get lost on how communicate with me despite seeing me talking with my friends numerous time. It is like, even If I am talking with people,  they turn for my deaf accent, I think. Which is sad, because people in this world seem to be judging intelligence of one's based on accent. One of most popular example is how some people in Asian countries seem to laugh at their English accent. English is English,period!!! I realized it first time at when i was grad

Rising of deaf people!

These few  years are on roll for the deaf people. More and more people are telling their stories and showing their talents. Which I like. One for instant, Nyle Dimarco is running for American Top Model. While modelling is not my forte, but there is no reason not to support his desire to win the competition. As a fellow deaf person, I am cheering and supporting him with all my heart. Go #DeafTalent!! People in this world are not giving enough chance to deaf people to show their talent. More their often they are stuck with their prejudice about us. Which is really unfortunate, because they are missing out the wonderful people out there and the rich culture we have. That is why from this post onward I will post more about deaf related issues and topics. Signing off here, fellows!!
