Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Yes, I suffer from this, too, though I've gotten better over the years (I think...). This is also an ADD problem, and most likely an SPD one as well, so maybe it's just tied in to times we're suddenly overwhelmed and we lash out. > > I doubt the two are related but I was curious to see how many people > suffered from a " short temper " or " short fuse " .

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 I dont beleieve this is a coincidence at all. im betting that this is anothet thing we all have in common. Id bet we have alot in common: anxiety short temper controlling tendencies and perfectionism problems with sleep/insomnia depression, from isolation or from relationship issues or from not being able to do things other can like go to movies or school with out terrible suffering, if at all. I wouldnt be surprised to learn that most of us are artistic and creative as well. I wonder how deep the list goes, how much we all have in common. Are we all above average intelligence? are we all sensitive? are we all grudge holders and have a propensity to be spitefull? are we all introverts? are we extroverts forced into introversion because the world is too painfull? from the things ive read , it seems we have differing triggers here and ther but the onset of this condition was about the same for most of us , around the same age, and it presents itself the same too. <3 >I doubt the two are related but I was curious to see how many people >suffered from a "short temper" or "short fuse".

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 , I someone agree with some but not all...I have never really had much of an insomnia problem, in fact I have even since childhood been an extraordinary sleeper! I never used to watch cartoons on Sat mornings because I loved my sleep too much!! As far as sensitive and creative, YES and YES...I get feelings hurt easily, fall in love easily, take things personally...which is something as I have gotten older and more spiritual I am getting much better about. I don't think I was ever a huge grudge holder, I may be TOO forgiving at times. I do prefer lots of 'down' or 'alone' time away from it all, but I also enjoy parties with friends and social activities such as dancing, concerts, etc...although to be honest there is an amount of social anxiety, but I think party aspects like drinking help to medicate that to a certain point. I'm 32 but everyone knows me as a peace loving techno hippie, I prefer everyone to get along, and may be the 'calming force' or 'peacekeeper' when situations arise. Def not spiteful. I may be some what of a perfectionist, and sometimes I admit little things might make me squirm when I see someone doing something in a way that's not the most productive, but usually I keep my place unless it directly affects me. I don't have a short temper at all (except in the case of the 'triggers' but usually try to hold it in...I would say I lean more toward passive aggressive where that is concerned, holding in things that bother me to avoid confrontation rather than blow my lid or lose it. Def more likely to lose it at home with my family than around friends or accquantances.I appreciate you putting this out there though, because I agree, the way to answers is for us to share as much info as we can and really search all angles for the clues as to what, why and how. I would love to see a funded doctor or medical school really take this on as a huge learning project and more media attention. Maybe someday soon, who knows! Another thing that might be a good idea, is to format this as a 'survey' on the main page, so that all of our answers can be logged, and then we can really see the results in a more visual and productive way. I would leave that to you , as this was your idea/thread. And also because I dont know how to do that. lol. best wishes all.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 You bring up an interesting point. I inherited my father's explosive temper. Short didn't even begin to describe his fuse; he had no fuse. People used to say he ruled people with his anger. I always hated his outbursts and knew I did not want to be like him. From early on, I learned methods to keep my temper in check. Transcendental meditation was fashionable when I was in high school, so I went through the training and meditated as often as possible. I learned deep-breathing techniques. Throughout my life, I've joined meditation groups and purchased virtually every self-help, self-hypnosis, and meditation audio/book collection on the market.I am not an outwardly angry person. In fact, any time I mention that I have a temper, people don't believe me. The truth is, I work very hard to suppress my anger. Still, I have always been plagued with what I now know is misophonia. Until recently, I thought the rage that swept through me every time I heard one of my trigger sounds was just that -- my temper suddenly raging out of control because, for reasons that were beyond my comprehension, I couldn't tolerate certain sounds. As far as annoying situations or idiots on the highway, I'm okay -- I seldom snap. My trigger sounds are what fuel the rage, and no amount of deep-breathing can calm me. I have to physically escape or go mad. I find it so fascinating that other misophonia sufferers describe their response to trigger sounds as rage. For much of my life, I attributed the rage to genetics. The most baffling thing has always been why the sounds that infuriate me don't seem to bother other people.As far as my dad...he may very well have misophonia as well. He has always been plagued with ear problems such as hyperacusis and tinnitus, as am I. Now he is virtually deaf without his hearing aids. I doubt the two are related but I was curious to see how many people suffered from a "short temper" or "short fuse". I struggle very much with a short fuse and get agitated very easily and I have such a short temper that I snap very quickly, not only with trigger sounds but with many things in general. I have limited patience so many things get me aggravated very quickly. Does anyone else experience this? It is probably just a coincidence but I was just curious. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted November 29, 2011 Report Share Posted November 29, 2011 Sorry about this, but a much more mixed response from me - and I would suspect that would be the case from most people on here. Certainly not a short temper, no real anxiety, and I certainly don't bear grudges. I do have depressiona the the moment, but that is totally unrelated, being caused by work issues a few years ago. Interesting thoughts to investigate, but I think there will be fewer links than you think.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I'm sure there are a lot of common issues with us Misofolks. I have always had anxiety issues, insomnia, perfectionism, a bit unforgiving of others and introversion. But I have really overcome many of them. I am much more outgoing, less anxious, more forgiving and almost never depressed. I think it is lifestyle changes and a stubborn determination not to let this spoil my chance of having a happy life. I believe it is possible to overcome many of our inate tendencies with some work. And I also believe that certain traumas can key-in or trigger latent tendencies of buried past experiences that, when triggered, will bring on 4S type symptoms(or other symptoms for that matter).

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I used to suffer from anxiety in middle school and frequently get panic attacks. I have an extremely short temper (probably my biggest flaw). I have to plan out my entire day down to the last minute pretty much as well as my finances and pretty much anything in my life - this could possibly be a control issue. I've always had problems falling asleep at night. My parents were over-protective and my ex-husband was verbally and at one time physically abusive. I currently hold a 4.0 gpa - although i've never taken an IQ test. I love music - that's where my creativity comes from but as a child i was extremely creative and artistic. I'm pretty sensitive and suffer from borderline personality disorder as well - so i definately hold grudges.I try my best not to be spiteful.When i read that list - i was thinking, hey she's describing me! lol - it's amazing how different but the same our minds are.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 In response to 's interpretation of misophonia, it seems many of us do carry a lot of the same traits; anxiety, anger, grudges, etc, even if our anger is under control, we still needed to do work at it to get so we could be at a happeir place in our lives.

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 Some of us, myself included, however, have no anxiety, perfectionism, unforgiving, introversion. Also I had no emotional trauma that triggered my 4S when I was young. I did have what I now believe was probably hypercusis to florescent lights, which came a year or so before the 4s started.Heidi I'm sure there are a lot of common issues with us Misofolks. I have always had anxiety issues, insomnia, perfectionism, a bit unforgiving of others and introversion. But I have really overcome many of them. I am much more outgoing, less anxious, more forgiving and almost never depressed. I think it is lifestyle changes and a stubborn determination not to let this spoil my chance of having a happy life. I believe it is possible to overcome many of our inate tendencies with some work. And I also believe that certain traumas can key-in or trigger latent tendencies of buried past experiences that, when triggered, will bring on 4S type symptoms(or other symptoms for that matter).

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 I also don't have anxiety (or any comorbid psychological disorders), don't have a short temper, and if anything am too forgiving. I had a normal, happy childhood; no traumatic events triggered the onset of my 4S; neither of my parents nor anyone else in my family have anything like 4S. I am introverted and somewhat of a perfectionist, I suppose. But my main source of anger is my 4S when I'm triggered. >I doubt the two are related but I was curious to see how many people >suffered from a " short temper " or " short fuse " .

Guest guest Posted November 30, 2011 Report Share Posted November 30, 2011 , I guess you could say it is mind over matter in a sense. I just think that proper living and healthy habits can minimize the effects of this. It has for me. As well as a positive attitude. It's not a cure, but living with it is easier.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 I also inherited my father's short temper, believe it is genetic and I also believe he has misophonia. In my early twenties, I couldn't stand myself for being like him (and my mother as well). However, the harder I tried, the more I found myself being just like them. I decided to embrace their best qualities I inherited from them and try to let the rest go. It helped. The trigger sounds still induce rage, I've come to accept that. My two main sounds are gum chewing and sniffing. With menopause I've found the courage to make it easier to speak up and tell the person it bothers me. I hand out tissue to the sniffers. Although I still don't understand why going to the bathroom to blow their nose is so difficult. But mostly, it's that I have to remove myself from the situation. The mimicking or stomping, hitting helps me cope, it's not for them. And again, in the car and at home, turning on the classical station, calms me tremendously. Also, with the gum, it's the smell of the gum that sickens me, even though toothpaste does not. Same with popcorn in theatres.To: "Soundsensitivity " <Soundsensitivity >Sent: Tue, November 29, 2011 10:25:58 PMSubject: Re: Short Temper? You bring up an interesting point. I inherited my father's explosive temper. Short didn't even begin to describe his fuse; he had no fuse. People used to say he ruled people with his anger. I always hated his outbursts and knew I did not want to be like him. From early on, I learned methods to keep my temper in check. Transcendental meditation was fashionable when I was in high school, so I went through the training and meditated as often as possible. I learned deep-breathing techniques. Throughout my life, I've joined meditation groups and purchased virtually every self-help, self-hypnosis, and meditation audio/book collection on the market.I am not an outwardly angry person. In fact, any time I mention that I have a temper, people don't believe me. The truth is, I work very hard to suppress my anger. Still, I have always been plagued with what I now know is misophonia. Until recently, I thought the rage that swept through me every time I heard one of my trigger sounds was just that -- my temper suddenly raging out of control because, for reasons that were beyond my comprehension, I couldn't tolerate certain sounds. As far as annoying situations or idiots on the highway, I'm okay -- I seldom snap. My trigger sounds are what fuel the rage, and no amount of deep-breathing can calm me. I have to physically escape or go mad. I find it so fascinating that other misophonia sufferers describe their response to trigger sounds as rage. For much of my life, I attributed the rage to genetics. The most baffling thing has always been why the sounds that infuriate me don't seem to bother other people.As far as my dad...he may very well have misophonia as well. He has always been plagued with ear problems such as hyperacusis and tinnitus, as am I. Now he is virtually deaf without his hearing aids. I doubt the two are related but I was curious to see how many people suffered from a "short temper" or "short fuse". I struggle very much with a short fuse and get agitated very easily and I have such a short temper that I snap very quickly, not only with trigger sounds but with many things in general. I have limited patience so many things get me aggravated very quickly. Does anyone else experience this? It is probably just a coincidence but I was just curious. Thanks.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2011 Report Share Posted December 1, 2011 , I'm in agreement with you/I share many of the same traits. The recent being insomnia but I'm sure that was my last boyfriend who snored, or the landlords who were harassing me, or menopause...As far as movies go, I guess I subconsciously avoid/ed for many reasons. Same with taking classes-I've just quit if there was a horribly obvious gum popper/chewer that I knew would make me miserable/angry. My family always complained I was too sensitive.I was always a loner even as a child, I like the arts and that is something one does alone, except for music, so I just figured I'd always be alone.To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Tue, November 29, 2011 12:58:43 PMSubject: Re: Short Temper?
