Control is important, and so is intention--I think that's why a baby's noises are okay. The baby's not trying to annoy you. If the dog next door barks, I get irritated, but if I see he's barking at a stranger coming to his door, it doesn't bother me as much. He had a reason to bark, he's not just being annoying. Now that's silly, I know--it's a dog, for goodness sake.

Construction noise doesn't bother me as much if I know the situation, when it will end, why it's needed, etc. People's sniffing and throat-clearing are easier to handle if I know they have a cold, and they're not just habitual noise-makers.

I'm trying to reframe my thinking about noises, so that I assume the best about people (and dogs) instead of the worst. When the dog barks, I'm going to tell myself that he's protecting our cul-de-sac, not just being annoying. When my husband cracks his knuckles.....well, that's a little tougher to reframe. I'll have to work on that one

Hi ,For your husband's knuckle cracking, just remind yourself of how vulnerable, kind, innocent and sweet he can be in general or any situation, this may help you remain calm. I know that it works for me with most people )Thanks,andraTo: Soundsensitivity Sent: Wednesday, December 3, 2008 3:41:23 AMSubject: Re: Brainwave Entertainment Session Test 2 High Beta Ent Trance Embe

, I have been trying myself to do this and at times I can do it

and at others... forget it. It must have to do with that time of the

month when I'm already crabby! LOL. I have a problem with my

neighbors dog barking too and I love that dog. But for some reason

it just gets to me yet their other dog could bark all night and it

wouldn't bug me. I don't understand that! Intention is intersting

to me too because I know my dogs are not licking their paws to make

me mad but it does. But if my husband says " see if this bugs you "

and chomps a potato chip really loud, it doesn't but me. He's

intentionally trying to make me mad but it doesn't. Maybe it's

because I knew it would happen since he sort of warned me? If he had

just chomped his chip I probably would have gone bonkers on him! I

don't know it's all so strange. As far as your husband cracking his

knuckles... you could tell yourself that he would be in horrid pain

if he didn't? I know that sounds weird but I have a weird problem

with my breastbone and it will start to hurt very badly. My only

relief is to pop it. Yes, I'm strange in more ways than one

Thanks, andra. You sound like a very nice person. I'm working on liking people more. I really do like people in general, but I've become bitter from years of suffering with 4s.
