[I] Re: Re: Footsteps anyone? The sounds that I make.....

[Guest guest]

Sorry , I am completely the reverse - my own sounds drive me mad

too. I have given up eating certain foods because the sound of my

own eating repulses me. If I eat an apple I have to cut it into bits

and take very small bites because my almost number one hate is people

biting into apples and crunching them. I will only make toast with

certain kinds of bread because the crusts on others sounds like bombs

going off in my head when I eat them.

My own voice gets on my nerves from time to time which is pretty hard

when you are paid to stand up and lecture to groups.

Flip flops - I am a culprit and even I get freaked by the sound of

them but I hate wearing shoes and bare feet aren't appreciated in my

work places.

But it is getting better. Don't ask me why, maybe it is realising

that I am not the only one, but things have definitely got better

since I found this group.

I have managed to sit through several meals without a glare, a glance

or a remark (no, not even one) at my poor long suffering husband

(another Abraham!)

same way as I can hear others. That is also a possibility:-)

> The only way I can explain this after dealing with it for over 37

years is that " it's like hearing the sounds from the inside out " . To

me, it sounds different when I do it than it does when someone else

is doing it.....For example, hearing my own voice as I speak sounds

totally different than it does when I hear my voice recorded and

played back. It is the same with all of the other sounds that I

make -- they are deadened somewhat, or duller somehow since my body

muffles them to some degree......

I had noticed the coincidence with the surname! i don't think it means

there's a particular genetic link though! lol
