Guest guest Posted December 1, 2008 Report Share Posted December 1, 2008 I just had to share with you something my best friend's new boyfriend asked me this weekend. He had given us a beautiful mantel clock which he found out we had to put away because of my 4S so I'm sure that really bothered him. Anyway, he asked me in regard to my 4S: " Why do you let the noises bother you? Why don't you just learn to deal with it? " This made me so mad, but I assumed he was trying to be helpful or at least try to understand. I made several attempts to explain, but he just didn't get it. I said, " Trust me, I don't CHOOSE to react with rage and panic when I hear perfectly normal sounds. It just happens. I try and breathe deeply, ignore them, etc, but nothign works. I wear headphones when I can or I leave the room, but whatever I do it disrupts either my activity or the people around me get upset. I don't expect to change anyone else. I just deal with it as best I can. " I think he feels we should put up his loud loud clock in the middle of our living room and therefore, make my OWN HOME a torture chamber, but that's not happening! After three days with it, I finally begged to move it somewhere else, but wherever we put it I could still hear it! Ugh, I really hate it when people have no clue and overly simplify something, making you feel like an idiot. I mean, like, Hey! Why didn't I think of that? Just don't let it bother me! Wow, what a revelation! Thanks for letting me vent. I just wondered how any of you respond to such stupid questions/suggestions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
