Being partially deaf is ruining my life

Being deaf is not for the weak for sure, but given the circumstances I'm not so strong to begin with. Deep rooted issue with being deaf since birth is having difficulties with developing properly, I've grown ashamed and silent, because people are always irritated when someone doesn't hear them. Society just fences me off, since im incompatible with people who hear well and couldn't bother themselves with caring.

It's dreadful, truly, and my words aren't enough to explain how painful it is to live a life you cannot experience fully.

I don't have anyone to talk to except my family, but even they are busy with raising a younger child. They don't have the energy to try and understand me, so i have to leave them alone.

Each time I interact socially, i feel how much impact this disability left on me throughout my life. Even so, after putting much effort into interhuman relationships it all ends in a very similar way - the person understands that it's too difficult for them and leaves me. Tomorrow I'm planning to meet a person I'm not comfortable with, nor want to spend time with, but I talk to them because they're as desperate as me.
