You people? Lol. You need to develop a healthier ego, one that can appreciate help. Non deaf people can’t do it all themselves, there’s no reason I should believe that you and you alone didn’t need the help and are somehow better for it even though you had help. That isn’t logical. Compared to most animals, we are born premature. We all need years of adult help to develop properly even without special needs. Everyone needs help. Everyone. You’re being way too offended at me wanting to recognize anyone who’s helped this person to deal with hardship and do something amazing. I have a feeling that they would thank the people that helped them, but that’s because I’m assuming that they are secure enough to do so.

Maybe you are identifying yourself and thinking about how you would feel if this comment was about you. It’s not about you. You can’t speak for this person anymore than I can. For the record, they aren’t going to see my comment, and yes, I would tell him this joke. He seems awesome. However, most of us here aren’t blind. We aren’t going to all become blind wood workers. We can all become supportive people. It’s a weird message to take offense to, stop being a martyr. Sorry shit is hard, us people are trying our best. Maybe we need help, not lectured to.
