Too Quick To Judge (Touching Short-Film)

NEW VIDEO ALERT! https://youtu.be/RceLJK9g-Ks

Very insightful. I just learned that I've met hundreds of deaf women in my life without knowing it.

A lot of people think I'm a snob cuz I don't say hi first or give eye contact. I have anxiety and I'm just super shy.

I have significant hearing loss and I knew right away she was deaf. It's an "invisible disability", as my audiologist calls it, especially if I don't wear my hearing instruments. I appreciate the awareness this short film no doubt has raised. Nicely done! :)

People are not obligated to engage with strangers. And even if someone is not deaf, or blind, maybe they're thinking of their own challenges or goals and don't want to engage with anybody. If you really must barge in on a person's "me time," offer a smile and if they make eye contact and smile back, you've broken the ice.

I met this girl a few years back.we were talking and she kept asking me to repeat myself. I got frustrated,and said damn are you deaf?she pulled her hair back and showed me her hearing aids. I could not apologize enough. I felt real low afterwards

man, I've been talking to a lot of deaf girls.

"I was just complementing. I'm not a creep." Even a girl with hearing ability wouldn't respond to that.

This touched my soul in a very meaningful way. This short clearly shows we’re ALL far from being perfect: no matter white, black, man, woman… it depicts how easily we can misunderstand others. Even if we have a perfect appearance on the outside, that doesn’t mean we’re free of imperfections. That lady had such a big heart out of guilt by leaving him the drawing… and mark my words: if I was him, I wouldn’t stop until finding her to say how sorry I am for this. Even though it’s scripted, I put myself on her shoes, and imagine the helplessness and suffering she felt when he unknowingly lashed out at her. God bless those who suffer in silence and can’t express themselves.

Damn I must run into a lot of deaf girls

Okay but who leaves their personal belongings unattended in a public place

This one hit home for me. I'm severely hearing impaired, and have been told by different people that "so and so thought you were ignoring them or being rude, and I told them she-can't-hear-you".

can we talk about how someone left their backpack on a bench??

I'm deaf but if someone sits down next to me I'm aware of their presence.

It's nice to see this film with such a wide range of emotions in a short time. I found it refreshing in many ways. It doesn't have to be real. It is hopeful.

OMG, honestly I didn't realize there's so many deaf women around, as a matter of fact I'd say 99% of them!

either she is the slowest drawer ever or he is the fastest runner.

What this video has taught me is that in future, I can console myself that the girl is 'deaf' when they ignore me. LOL!

Slightly unreal but so real at the same time. The presumption by so many of us that we know everything, know it all, justify our judgemental behaviour shows a complete lack of maturity, empathy and wisdom. Thankyou for shining a light on this important issue

I volunteer to help the blind and the deaf and I've got to say that they are some of the most beautiful people you will ever meet.
