Myth X- Deaf people are naturally distrustful of others.
Stubborn people and cats are distrustful of others.
– Typical Spanish proverb –
Normally, a person isnât born with a determined personality. Education and life are the factors that define a person, (it has been said that a personâs personality isnât totally defined until theyâre 26 years old).
In the case of deaf people, they have had to face misinterpretations, assaults or abuses that have made them develop a defense mechanism: âmistrustâ. Given that most of these abuses usually come from people that can hear, the norm is that rejection towards this group of people is greater. However, the increased consciousness about the problems of âdeaf peopleâ is enabling both groups to coexist without any conflicts.
