Bugmeat 06/16/19 7:05:34 PM #1:	It's odd, I never considered the idea that the deaf talk to themselves like the rest of us do. It's not quite as discreet though. And I don't mean crazy person talking g to imaginary friends. She's a regular here, not crazy. She just looking at the events calendar on the wall and working things out with a confused look on her face. --- John Mellencamp said it best "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." <cite>Bugmeat posted [p:923409280] in I'm sittin...

That'd be my guess, plus it'd be a bit on the loud side because she wouldn't have the feedback we'd normally get. She may also have enough hearing to be able to hear herself, depending on the exact nature of her impairment. <cite>_AdjI_ posted [p:923419274] in I'm sittin...

That'd be my guess, plus it'd be a bit on the loud side because she wouldn't have the feedback we'd normally get.

It was just one of those "huh..." moments to see a deaf person talking to themself in sign language. And really, it makes sense. Especially if she has always been deaf. She doesn't really have the words to think them in her head like we do. I guess she could picture the hand signs in her head, but doing them would likely be second nature after awhile. --- John Mellencamp said it best "Life goes on long after the thrill of living is gone." <cite>Bugmeat posted [p:923444788] in I'm sittin...
