I hate it so much it takes everything I have in me to not punch the person doing it! My boyfriend thinks it's weird that I can't stand it when someone whistles.
It did irritate me immensely but I knew I was the one who had to deal with it. Today I left a coffee shop because I was trying to write an essay when a guy kept tapping the soles of his shoes in my direction. I have a bit of dislike for some sounds myself, which is why I try to limit my whistling when around my coworker. I think it is more practical for the person who is experiencing the discomfort of anger to seek help because they will never be able to go through life shutting every up! I don't think anyone is making one behaviour pathological over another one, except that it is far less acceptable or even practical in society to want to punch someone out for whistling when they are happy, than it is to whistle when you are happy. We talk about it and I explain I am not doing it to purposely anger her and she says that her anger isn't personal. I do not whistle all the time, but sometimes I whistle when I a happy. You might get expelled, but take it higher, cause that should not been allowed. Grab a bottle of coloured drink, pour it over his papers, and say to him "You F* my life up, I F* yours up too". Wouldn't be allowed in ours, you should have went up and asked him to stop, if not. That poor girl in exam, that should not be allowed. If that doesn't work, get a whistle and make sure to blow it hard every time they do it, so it drains his out. Please don't build your hopes up, looking at probabilities, the hypothesis looks completely nil, nah! someone as pathetic and petty as you, I wouldn't even think of giving you the same privilege as you have for me." If I ever find you that important in my life or even find you a tiny little space in my intellectual brain to do the same, begging for your attention, I will let you know. "You will probably still have me and the whistling in your head until the day you die. If someone does it on purpose try saying to them, If someone at work keeps passing you and doing this, turn and say to him, "I don't fancy you, I am not interested in you, so please stop passing me and trying to get my attention by annoying me, or I will take this further for harassment". Here's an article that discusses recent research into this syndrome: I can't stand the idea of being trapped in the vicinity of a trigger sound. Plane flights are nightmares for me, and I rarely attend performances or go to movies. The problem has limited my opportunities throughout my life.
There's nothing more hurtful than to have a loved one mock you by intentionally making a trigger sound.īut I wish I'd sought out treatment. When I was younger, I went out of my way to prevent others from learning about my problem, in part because I was ashamed of it, and in part because I didn't want to give anyone the means to torment me. I urge you to investigate this and, if your son is indeed a misophonia sufferer, to handle it with seriousness and compassion. I immediately go into fight or flight mode. I suspect that fingernails on chalkboards, for example, annoy me just as much as they annoy anyone else. Please understand that I'm not just annoyed by certain sounds. Many years later, my daughter sent me a link to an article in the New York Times about misophonia, along with this message: "You have this." She was right. Since then, I've picked up several other sounds that drive me crazy, like whistling, slurping, gum snapping, and the sound of magazine pages turning.
I began reacting very strongly to my brother's sniffling when I was ten or eleven.
