I am a country line dance fan, and I dance in a place with very loud music and a high activity level. There are always people there who want to have a CONVERSATION over the music and the noise. I can't do it. Trying to talk louder than the music hurts my throat and I can't hear what they're saying anyway. I'm not there to talk. I'm there to dance. So shut up and dance, as the song goes.
@TampaHeathen I do know some sign language, but I don't believe they're on the ASL chart
That is me period. With people or alone does not matter to me any.
