Airehead Posted October 24, 2021 Share #2 Posted October 24, 2021 I always feel like I have a social communication disorder so phatic communication can be tough for me. I think I have challenges with social interaction, social cognition and pragmatics. Not sure if this is my personality or a result of being hearing impaired. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably a combination of both. My SiL is a sign language interpreter. She told me once that hearing impaired people can come off as rude to others who don’t understand what it’s like to communicate without a sense of tone, and a lot of meta-communication is learned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
