Re: Do You Know the Real Reason You're Angry - YouTube

[Guest guest]

First reaction: new age quack. I kept waiting for her to tell him he needed to get his chi aligned too or drink more wheat grass. I also think she's conflated causation with correlation. This does touch on what will likely become a big problem if we don't get some real studies done soon. People want answers, and when they aren't provided by the medical community, someone else, probably someone just looking to make a quick buck, will step in and provide answers comprised mostly of bad, or worse, harmful, information. Just look at all the junk science that's out there now.

Any who, just my .02.

I tried to watch this but the woman spoke with those horrible sharp, hissy

sounding " esses " and so I had to stop watching (after mimicking her, as I feel

compelled to do with some trigger sounds.) It was torture for me to try to

watch this.

Can you tell me what the was said?

Without knowing the theoretic background of the 4-3 typing, it's had to evaluate

the validity of this woman's diagnosis, but it strikes me as a convenient

imposition of the theory onto this man's condition. I also have misophonia, hate

to hear my spouse and mother eating, but do not fit the " type " described as

motionless or rigid with restrained anger. It's interesting how in the video the

woman feeds him answers, leading the conversation, acting like a controlling

mother, while he sits impassively, seeming uncomfortable (though he is being

filmed), perhaps a bit irritated with her. Maybe I'm projecting, but the video

seems to reenact the parent-child relationship she claims is the root cause of

his misophonia ( " it's not the eating that is the problem " ), which tells me that

if you look hard enough for something, you are bound to find it. I do agree

misophonia has something to do with control, but I am unconvinced she has

unlocked any secrets.

You are too funny! Point taken.

I had to watch it a few times to get past all of those physical gestures (which

is obvoius fluff) and focus on what was said. Just out here searching and

wanted to get some reaction.

After suffering for over 40 years I believe our ( MY ) problem has been about CONTROL - it has NEVER been about the sounds or the movements. I am convinced, Gum chewing drives me crazy but not pen clicking. The dofg breathing is ok but not my family, It is ALL about CONTROL - maybe not for all of us but the Vast majority.

i felt it was about control too. er at least i started to. i am a control freak,

i like things a certain way and i expect others to like them that way too. no, i

am not proud of it, but that part i can control more than this. i cant control

the way i feel about this. i wish i could.

I also agree that she confuses correlation with causation. I am NOT triggered

every single time I'm not in control of my environment. I do NOT need to be in

complete control all the time. On those occasions I am triggered and unable to

protect myself, it is because I can't make the thing that hurts stop, *not

because I am not in control.* Similarly, most normal people would prefer not to

hang out in a burning building, and will take steps to make sure that doesn't

happen. Of COURSE I want to control my environment such that I am happy and

comfortable. Who doesn't? In my case, that means not having to deal with

obnoxious sounds that consume my mind and ruin my mood day after day!!

Having said that, I felt the urge to turn her off just shy of the two-minute

mark. I sat through about six minutes, it was all I could take. Honestly, this

woman is annoying. She talks too much about something she truly does not

understand. I would have liked to have heard more from her guest, and less from

her.

Ya know, , I'm glad you brought that up (gum vs. pen, dog vs. family).

That's why I posted the link and looked for reaction. A small part of me buys

into this " control " thing, and I'll tell you why in a moment.

The woman in the video was not the first to introduce me to that possibility.

It's something I often thought of myself long before today (I'm a 35-year

sufferer). That's what made the angle so interesting to me, even through the

obvious quackery that other members sensed.

For instance: I find that a beautiful woman modestly chewing a piece of gum is

somehow more tolerable then some fat, hairy dude munching down a hot dog. Go

figure! Lol. If it's truly the sound that bothers you then the source

shouldn't matter. That's what gets me about this whole thing.

Another example is hearing something in the distance that is a trigger for me.

Like many other sufferers I'm compelled to get up and seek out the source of the

noise and evaluate the situation I find myself in. Sometimes it's an inanimate

object, such as a distant dishwasher or an air conditioning unit making the

noise. Learning that, I can brush it off and return to what I was doing. But

when it's a living creature it seems to be a lot more bothersome. I don't know:

maybe because you know you can do something about getting the living creature to

stop producing the noise but you can't convince the dishwasher? I don't know.

But, once again, if it's the noise at the center of the rage then I should feel

the rage whether it's my significant other or the dishwasher.

Making any sense?

I guess, like the rest of us, I'm still searching for answers. But I agree with

another member's post that this YouTube video is a prime example of why we need

sound, comprehensive medical research on this topic so we can identify what is

just " noise " on the subject (no pun intended) and what is rooted in sound

medical principles.

Perhaps I went down a road that others on this forum might frown upon. If so, I

apologize.

Please allow me to thoroughly explain where I was going with this:

Let's erase this woman from the video. We will also erase her gestures. We

will also erase the puppet sitting next her who was placed there to shake his

head up and down at whatever she said.

What I merely wanted to get reaction to is: has anyone, even before seeing this

video, thought of the possibility that control might play a part in your

personal experiences?

The best way to describe it is to read my post from 9:52 am on this topic. Has

anyone else ever caught themselves being more concerned with the source rather

than the noise itself? That's what I would be interested in learning. Let's

forget the video and go with that.

I would like to apologize to anyone who felt introducing this link somehow

diminished the nature or seriousness of this disorder. That was not my intent.

I'm simply looking for answers, support and opinions like everyone else.

Thanks for your understanding and forgiveness.

Ask yourself this; is that " beautiful woman " smacking and chomping, or chewing quietly?  One of my guys sits right next to me and chews gum all the time. I never hear him, so it doesn't bother me. And believe me, he's a long, long way from beautiful. But my wife, or anyone else, that's chomping and smacking and gulping will set me off in an instant. And for me, it's not about mood. I can be in a great mood, and will instantly go into full-on rage mode over one of my trigger sounds. Ironically, if I'm really stressed and doing my introverted thing where I'm completely inside my own head and paying no attention to the outside world, I don't notice the sounds of others, so they don't bother me. But if they manage to attract my attention, god help them.

 None of it has anything to do with control for me. I would doubt it does for most others, as well. That's not to say that there aren't plenty of type A control freaks who are also sufferers, but I don't think one necessarily leads to the other.

[Guest guest]

I have to acknowledge that I have some control issues of my own. Yes, I want to

feel comfortable in my environment and will do what I need to in order to make

that happen. But I do have stronger feelings than some might about, say, the

ideal way to load a dishwasher. Or to fold laundry. And if I don't like the way

someone has done either thing, I will probably do it over again the way I want

it done. This is part of why I live alone now, and suspect I always will. I feel

bad about my control issues, too, I guess because it feels slightly compulsive.

I really get the rest of what you are saying, too, with respect to why some

people can get away with making sounds that I'd want to clock another person for

making. It's true, troubling, and baffling. At a small gathering recently, I was

seated next to someone who was eating a bowl of chips. I was able to handle it

because he was a stranger but the brother of a friend (and also because I knew

we would be leaving shortly). Now, if my FRIEND had been eating those chips, it

would been ugly. Why?? I don't know. Troubling and baffling. Likewise, I can't

even describe my emotional disturbance when I noticed that my ex-wife's sounds

were beginning to bother me. I feared it meant I was no longer in love.

I wouldn't be bothered by a machine making a repetitive noise (am actually

soothed by the dishwasher), but someone clicking a pen would be highly

irritating. There is a human being driving that noise. However, I am not

bothered by keyboards, and human beings drive that noise, too. And I just

realized what the difference is: pen-clicking is unnecessary, while people MUST

use their keyboards. (I wish some folks had a lighter touch, though.)

I feel like I'm going beyond the video now, so I'll stop.

I think I just answered that, but again, at least for me, the source has little to do with it. It's the particular character and volume of the sound, not where it comes from. That's why I'm working on getting my mic and recording gear hooked back up over the next couple of days. I'm interested in what the actual analysis of the frequencies will show to see if there's any particular correllation between different triggers.

 

The best way to describe it is to read my post from 9:52 am on this topic. Has anyone else ever caught themselves being more concerned with the source rather than the noise itself? That's what I would be interested in learning. Let's forget the video and go with that.

[Guest guest]

I always have to find out what the noise is or what's making it and then

I feel better, usually bc I know that it will end or is normal and can't be

stopped. I think the control issue is a bit of a coping mechanism for me.

I also agree with many about the woman in the video. I also get annoyed with sounds from objects but clearly not as much then from humans, however I firmly believe the UNDERLYING problem stems from control of our environment - It may be subconscious but nevertheless I believe it is mostly control rather than the sounds.

Having been a Licensed Hearing Specialist for over 10 years and understanding sounds and dealing daily with people who have Tinnitus I sincerely doubt it is primarily the sounds that are the root of our problem..

Absolutely...there's no apology needed. We're all looking for answers, and sometimes they come from unexpected places. I took a look at the video, but frankly couldn't watch the whole thing. Not sure why...I just felt she was over-simplifying what the man experienced, likely to fit her own agenda. That's not to say there might not be psychological components to what we experience...I certainly suspect there are. Just like the Pavlov experiments getting the dog to salivate upon certain stimuli (and that salivating is a physiological response), our physiological responses could have triggers that are not just auditory in nature as well.

I think you mentioned earlier that you haven't talked to your friends/family a

lot about what you're going through. I think you will be touched and amazed at

how understanding people can be. I look forward to seeing how that goes for you.

Most of the folks I know almost treat it like I have allergies and try to help

me avoid trigger situations and watch out for them. They don't really

understand, but are willing to help.

Thanks or your reply. You made me feel really good.

I never feared their reaction. I think my silence stemmed from " being weird " .

Nobody wants to be weird, so I kept my mouth shut. I never thought I'd be

banished from people's lives due to this. I just never had the courage to come

out with it and make it official.

I'm sure my family-of-origin knows something HAS to be wrong based on behavior I

exhibited when I was younger. I've been very good at controlling it as I got

older, so there's less outward signs (although I still suffer inside).

I've told my girlfriend other, lesser things that have been " in my closet " .

When she realized I keep such things quiet she said, " you have no faith

people. You gotta come out with these things. " So, I know she'll be very

understanding.

My mother, brother and sister will all say, " AH HA! We knew SOMETHING was up. "

And then we'll laugh and recount the " greatest hits " from my childhood. That

day oughtta be a hoot! Lol.

It's my 13 and 16 year old I'll be the most nervous about. They're the least

likely to understand this and the most likely to unnecessarily compensate for my

condition. That's gonna be a tough one.

Anyway, I hope you're right and I'm sure you are. We're going to find out soon!

Thanks for your support. It means a lot.

Just wanted to quickly add, Chris--no apologies or forgiveness necessary. I hope

I didn't come off harshly in any of my responses. Any irritation I may have

communicated was directed toward the interviewer, not you! And it's just as well

we know the video exists now, because, as Heidi pointed out, we can make our own

voices heard on YouTube's comments section.

So really, thank you! And welcome aboard. This is a fantastic support group.

Jay, thanks so much for writing back. I think you may have exposed a

misunderstanding on my part: I thought the call was put out to leave comments in

`this forum' so people wouldn't think control is a reasonable explanation to the

condition they came here to learn about.

There was no harshness on anyone's part. I just started feeling like I may have

offended some people and wanted to clarify the type of comments I was seeking.

I agree this is an absolutely great forum. I feel very uplifted communicating

with everyone. I've been `going to town' at this since last night and I started

again first thing this morning. I had other plans for this weekend and I just

can't seem to get to them. Lol.

Thanks for welcoming me. You guys are great!
