2．Expressing emotions is difficult as it's not always encouraged in society.People rely on comfort zones and a secure mask to get them through the day.You may wonder，
"Why am I so sad？" and not know how to answer that question.We ignore warning signs of sadness，depression and other forms of suffering because we cannot be open about such feelings in society.It shouldn't be something we are afraid of.With the release of emotion，we find who we want to be and quickly to a previous good condition.Sadness is one emotion of many.But it is often the one most ignored.We don't want to appear weak to others.
Sadness is different from depression.Typically，sadness comes and goes，while depression holds us down for long.When feeling sad，you are most likely feeling alone，helpless and hopeless.But depression lasts almost nonstop at a depth that can overrule your behavior.
We feel it our duty to be our own heroes.We feel like we need to hold on rather than let go and let others in.When this happens，sadness increases，and we are no longer engaged with those we love.When sadness hits，we have to tell someone and build a support system.You just need to allow others to see your weaknesses，which aren't even true weaknesses.Feeling sad is not a weakness.Holding back in an effort to appear strong is，however，a weakness.
When people know what you're going through，they can better assist you.
Our sadness does not show what we are worth.It only tells us the story we tell ourselves.And when we change that story，we can breathe.We start to realize we deserve to be happy.Self talk like "I am worth it" is sending message of love and hope to ourselves when the world fails to do so for you.

3．ㅤWhen he tells people that he is deaf，Oliver Stabbe is called a liar. "The idea that deaf people cannot speak is a very offensive assumption，" the sophomore（大二学生） said.
ㅤStabbe's experience speaks of many of the misunderstandings about deaf people and the struggles they face-things commonly found right in Rochester.This city is home to 90，000 deaf people，a significant slice of the more than 1.1 million national population.The percentage of deaf people here is higher than the national average，due in part to RITs National Technical Institute for the Deaf，the first technological college in the world created specifically for the deaf and hard of hearing.
ㅤ"Really，there seems to be an emoverlinerassment in communicating with deaf people，" said sophomore Stephen Davis，another deaf student.This awkwardness might arise because non-deaf people just don't know how to do so without possibly of fending someone."I guess they think saying 'deaf' is offensive，but it really isn't and deaf people don't get upset about it，" Davis said.He noted that the biggest issue he's had when communicating with other students is their anxiety about communicating.
ㅤDeaf or hard-of-hearing students also face frustrations（令人心烦的事）on their end when interacting with others "Sometimes people talk about you，maybe to a non-deaf friend standing be-side me，as if I'm not there，" Davis said. "That's depressing. " As Davis put it，"We don't see ourselves as the disabled，so the awkwardness is only one-sided."
ㅤStabbe advised that those communicating should not make assumptions about others' preferences or ability.If you have a question，ask.A moment of awkwardness is absolutely worth it if you are being educated about an important topic.
（1）Why are there more deaf people in Rochester？
A．Deaf people have some privileges here.
B．Deaf people may get better job opportunities here.
C．A professional school for the deaf appeals to them.
D．Deaf people meet fewer struggles here.
（2）What may embarrass people when they are communicating with the deaf according to Davis？
A．They are afraid of upsetting the deaf.
B．They are unwilling to communicate.
C．They don't know any simple gestures.
