Does anyone know why I act this way>??
Question:
<3
Answers:
My daughter is this way, and she has been diagnosed as ADHD. She needs quiet to be able to concentrate, and if she can't get it she gets extremely frustrated. She does not take meds, but has had some therapy to help. The school also offers her a small space by herself to work if she needs it. Talk to your parents, and teachers or school councilors, maybe together you can come up with some workable solutions. Of course, some visits with a good doctor would be important, too!
bad nerves
It means that you are heading for a nervous breakdown.
sounds like you have anxiety issues that probably have nothing to do with the actual sounds. next time you start "freaking out", try rubbing your earlobe, closing your eyes and breathing very slowly, it really helps to calm you. I work in a very noisy busy bar and sometimes the combination of the printer, register, ice machine, tv, and patrons make me feel like knocking someones teeth in- the earlobe thing always does the trick, even if i can't close my eyes.
It seems to me that all of those things make you a little nervous. But the only thing you can really do is talk to a mental health professional about this so that they can help you out with this. On that note, you may want to talk to your parents about it so that they too can get you the help you seek.
Do those sounds/behaviors cause anxiety (a strong, nervous reaction)? If it's anxiety, the way to get better is to be around it as much as you can, and over time, your mind will correct itself. In psychology, it's called flooding or in-vivo exposure. It works. Now if the problem is something else, like...you just really really hate people with nasty table habits...you can try to trace in your memory where that very strong judgment comes from. When you remember the source, you can look back at it and try to make a more current decision about whether or not you want to hold on to that belief, or change it. When you change your belief about bad table manners, the intensity of your emotions will also change. An example: you may believe that rude and noisy people are horrible and should be punished severely. Change that to rude and noisy people are "inconsiderate, but the meal is only for a few minutes, and I'll be away from them soon." Lastly, you can be assertive, tell the noisy people how their behavior affects you, and make a request for better table manners.
