I get ANGRY with some sounds and not with others. What is that about?

[Guest guest]

Let us say that with this " thing " we have there is also a disposition to

powerlessness...... Politeness at the cost of our own comfort/self

acceptance/reason. How would someone with the same over-sensitivities to other

people's sounds BUT with the audacity and carelessness and crassness to call it

out? " Hey @# slob! Cut it out or i will come over there and jam that crud

you are chewing into your throat! " Over and done with. No anxiety by the

person with the oversensitive ears. Chewing doesn't quit? Slam! Get it? Don't

mess with me....I hate that! The chewer has no power.

There are noises more invading that do not bother me. It is only when sounds

are made by mouths that i go ballistic. Genetic? Yes the sound sensitivity

might be. But we are selective with what bothers - no, MADDENS us and that is

most often when sounds come from the lungs, throat and mouths of living things!

OK, a clock incessantly ticking gets me after a while.....but time is a personal

thing that talks to my concept of myself sitting idly hearing a

clock....probably when i am MADE to sit silently against my own

will....otherwise I would never hear the tick tick tick of a clock. Birds

chirping at 5 in the morning get me after a while....but that is from a throat

and seems to have an agenda to rudely awaken me. However, screeching of breaks

or mechanical sounds that have no connection to human activity or intention do

not bother me. People's laughter after midnight when I am trying to sleep in a

hotel? -----crazy making.... How dare they not think of us tired people trying

to sleep? Their gall! Loud sounds, motors, constant turbines, traffic,

wind, these sounds sometimes soothe me and don't bother me....I can sleep

through them.

In my mind there is a cause, an emotional connection and mental power thing

going on. Mother in law? Boss? Cubicle peer? Mean sibling? The stranger who

is taking up our collective sound space in an elevator with gum cracking? There

is a power thing going on.... and we find our politeness stifling us. It

MADDENS us that we were taught to be polite and care about others and we have to

bear the rudeness of clods. Why would sounds make us ANGRY otherwise?

I believe that studies could be done to find out WHY it bothers us. THEN, we

could be able to focus and re-engineer our auditory visions of what is happening

and be able to cope and function better. My opinion is that we as a group feel

helpless in the face of discomfort. The pain is the feeling of torture and

helplessness. It is why we get ANGRY with the pain.
