Guest guest Posted June 30, 2008 Report Share Posted June 30, 2008 You think gum and popcorn should be outlawed. You've ever almost wrecked while driving ... because the front seat passenger gulped from a water bottle. You've been woken out of a dead sleep because your room mate started filing her fingernails. You try to be a good person because you're pretty sure Hades is you sitting at an eternal dinner banquet with your mother and/or father. You are well versed in all the types and brands of earplugs and know where to get the best prices. You with everyone would thpeak like thith.

Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 I get annoyed when people gasp for air between lyrics, or make "hhuuuuuuuuh" noises as they take a breath on the phone (sorry if writing that set anyone off). I'm not sure if it's because the noise bothers me, or if they're breathing too shallowly to be healthy. (And I bet they're not even aware of it. Still, it makes me wonder if they ever get dizzy spells from not breathing correctly.) With singers, now, it bugs me because they're supposed to have better breath control. They're PROFESSIONALS, right? They shouldn't be making an amatuer mistake like taking shallow breaths in the chest and gasping for air after they project their voices. Breathe from the gut, everyone, not the chest! Much healthier! = M-F. ----- Original Message ----- From: Tammy Case >- who here hears the singer draw breath between notes? I love Nickelback. Love them. But there are a few songs that I just have to live without because that indrawn breath between notes just KILLS me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 27, 2008 Report Share Posted July 27, 2008 Hi Tammy! Welcome to the group. I totally screamed " yes " out loud when I read what you wrote about hearing the singer draw breath between words. OH MY GOSH... I'm not crazy! LOL. Nickelback is the worst offender for me and I really like them too! Man, I thought I was way out in left field with that trigger. Thanks for making me feel better! Again... welcome! Darlene > > i joined this group recently, i know this might be kinda late to add but i have one: I insist on driving my car when I go with friends places because I can make the rules. Rule # 1-no eating or drinking. It's not to keep my car clean. It's because it's my place of zen. In my car, there are no bad noises. I started crying when my mom got into the car with me eating a popsicle. It went something like this: " Why are you doing this to me? This my place of peace! There's no bad noises here. Throw it OUT! " Except- who here hears the singer draw breath between notes? I love Nickelback. Love them. But there are a few songs that I just have to live without because that indrawn breath between notes just KILLS me. > > > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 I HATE when I am talking to someone on the phone and they are breathing really heavy...like the mouthpiece is in their throat or directly beneath their nostrils.....weird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 28, 2008 Report Share Posted July 28, 2008 Welcome Tammy, You know exactly what I go through from what you wrote about your own experience living with sound sensitivity. I really like how you described " surround sound sniffing " while at church. That is exactly how it is for me to. And why I don't go anymore. " I don't seek out social situations because my biggest fear is that i'll get into a situation that I can't get politely out of and be stuck listening to sounds. " Amen! That's how it is with me too. It can be depressing having to give up social situations because of one's sound sensitivity. And no ones understands when you try to explain. I understand that. And I'm sorry you are having to deal with it too. I'm glad you now know you are not alone and I'm glad you found this group. -Randall Tammy Case wrote: > > > Wow.
