I Cant Talk Very Well

It’s annoying cause it makes it hard for me to talk to others. Being deaf I can’t hear what I’m saying so I can’t tell if I’m saying something correctly. A friend in school who can hear wrote what I said and how I said it. And it was embarrassing how bad it was. So I avoid actually speaking

Don't feel that the problem is with you, the problem is with the attitudes of those who do not take the time to get used to the way you speak and learn to understand you.

I've said for a long time now that I think sign language should be taught in all schools as standard. I've met more deaf people in my life than I have French, German, or Spanish, so I think it would be FAR more useful.

@Lilyharper I really should put my money where my mouth is and take the time to learn it myself 🤔
