TO ACCEPT HEARING PEOPLE OR TO AVOID THEM Many deaf people hate it when hearing people come to them, trying to get into a conversation. This is why many deaf people walk away when hearing people come to them. Too much hassle in trying to lipread or to write notes or to use gestures. But - we may never know? You walk away from a hearing person that could have been a great contact for you - such as a better job offer! Or maybe it is a scout for a movie, looking for a perfect character for a new movie!
