Re: Re: Fear of ongoing sounds

I would love to do that but I am so fearful of his response. He was "ok" when I had asked him to stop whistling but still looked at me with that "weird look". I almost feel like its a two part equation - 1) he has a bad habit and may not realize it, BUT 2) b/c he knew the whistling annoyed me, I think he somehow knows this bothers me b/c I have mumbled under my breath when he walks by snapping so he continues to do it.

Whichever way it is, it is AWFUL! I have casual conversation with him every now and again and he is a pretty nice guy but I am so afraid to really say something. I have explained to my other coworker and she sort of brushed it off and made light of it. She is the one constantly with the hiccups. I think she just needs to go to a doctor b/c no one hiccups that much! I had even casually brought it up to one of my bosses but they laugh it off, perhaps I wasn't serious enough or they don't realize this is a real disability nor do they really care to be honest. Unfortunately there is no where they can really move me b/c I sit within a specific group that I have work with, so I don't know what choice I have. I guess I feel stuck between a rock and hardplace.

The only resolve would be for me to say something to this guy in an apologetic way that it is me, not him and its something that I struggle with as a disorder. I just don't know how receptive he will be nor do I know how quiet he will be about telling this to others and having me become the butt of people's jokes.

EcuednyjCould you print out something from the internet nd highlight your triggers and how they effect you and present it to him? Or is he just an inconcideratr @34hole? If so could you show it to someone who has the power to move you? This is a disability and they should do their best to provide you with a workable enviroment. Something like handi cap bathroom access. You can't be at your best when your mind is concentrating on talking yourself down from rage and fear.Sent from my Samsung Interceptâ„¢

Good for you. I think you will be surprised how supportive people can be and how

relieved they are to find out that you don't just dislike them:-)
