when did the internet become filled with sensitive morons who cant hear someone whisper or see a bug without throwing a temper tantrum

[(Anonymous)]

you just made your own argument, anon. social interaction is hard if you have actual genuine disorders, so the best place to go is online.

and it's not like that shit isn't offline. this isn't some internet-isolated event. the joy of the internet is that neuronormal people are finding out that there's a lot less of them than they thought and that a lot of people have disorders. most are more comfortable mentioning them anon because it lets them find others like them without having to put a face to something they might not want to get teased over in real life.

like you're doing here.

one time my sister and i were on the train and there was a really hot guy sitting diagonally from us, and an older woman we didn't know sitting across directly from us.

my sister leaned in and starting whispering to me about the hot guy and we were both talking to each other about how good-looking he was, when suddenly the woman across from us reached out and touched my sister on the shoulder. we both looked up in surprise and she told us, "listen, you guys need to stop whispering. it makes me really nervous."

we both just kind of stared at her and finally i said, "we're just talking to each other about things that have nothing to do with you, and we have every right to do that." and she freaked out on us

it was insane

Sounds like misophonia again? Reactions to trigger noises can range from anger to anxiety and the reactions are usually very extreme.

[(Anonymous)]

that's possible but i'm pretty sure she thought we were talking shit about her

could be she was paranoid or schizophrenic. even someone on their meds can have certain triggers to things that they react to. hell, for all you know she could have been shoved in shitty homes and institutions and knew it was coming when people around her started whispering.

i'm not saying that that makes her freaking out on you any better or that she was in the right for doing it, but it can help to empathize with people's scenarios sometime.

that's not how someone with paranoid schizophrenia would react though.

honestly? i'm a little bothered you didnt take that woman seriously. even if she DID think you were talking shit about her, guess what? it's still reasonable to at least ask you to stop. i used to suffer from extreme paranoia and i too would freak out over people whispering near me. my oldest brother also used to be this way, and he had diagnosed paranoid schizophrenia. whispering around him could be disastrous.

be more respectful, god damn.

Be prepared for a swarm of OMG GET THERAPY FUCK YOU YOU'RE NOT A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE DON'T ASSUME ANYTHING

Nobody should assume anything about possibly mentally-afflicted people either. Maybe if people were more predisposed to just be considerate if someone politely asks you to stop doing something this wouldn't be a problem though.

so what are they supposed to do, talk about it out loud? it's one thing to ask someone to stop talking loudly but people usually lower their voices/whisper when they're trying to be courteous to people around them. they were being respectful.

[(Anonymous)]

Could be paranoia, yeah. You never know with people.

[(Anonymous)]

Text each other. Problem solved.

oh my god what the fuck have i done

1. i'm a guy
2. we were extremely quiet, there's absolutely no way she could have heard us, in fact my sister said "we weren't talking about you" and she didn't say anything like "i know what you were talking about"
3. ... we definitely weren't talking about licking his balls, jesus shit, and saying someone is cute isn't objectifying, sorry

i wasn't rude to her, i was assertive. i'm not going to go around assuming everyone around me might have some kind of mental disorder, especially when they're telling me what i can and cannot do in public space. i'm just going to be honest and treat people fairly. it's hard for me to get it across in text, but her tone was extremely rude and demanding, and she also touched one of us which was uncomfortable.

my lord y'all

Re: sa

you were in the right here, i have no idea why these people think we should bend over backwards to not talk to family members in a public space about something that doesn't concern anyone else or...anything

literally the craziest shit people have flipped out over

[(Anonymous)]

Those things and similar problems aren't exclusive to the Internet. The irony in your statement lies in that if you were actually less ignorant to the outside world you'd know this.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, it's more that the internet is going to feel more like a safe haven to those sorts of people and people feel more open to expressing themselves when not face to face with people.

[(Anonymous)]

i know there are people with genuine disorders, but i also know people who have developed or intensified their intense fears (arachnophobia and misophonia are popular, for some reason) only within the echo chamber of the internet, where anything that makes you "unique" and "vulnerable" gets poistive attention. there are a whole lot of people who can't tell the difference between "i'm annoyed, disgusted, distracted or upset by this thing" and "i'm in danger of having a panic attack every time i'm reminded that this thing exists." people with the latter condition do exist but it's very rare.

[(Anonymous)]

not to special snowflake myself, but i do have legitimate triggers over things and a few disorders, such as arachnophobia (was the anon that left the huge 'arachnophobia sucks btw' comment), misophonia, social anxiety, and severe sleep disorders (that are exacerbated by my anxiety attacks). they suck. it's not fun. but other than bringing it up here, anon, to clarify a few things or agree/disagree with comments, i don't put my name to it and run around expecting everyone to cater to my needs or conditions. i deal with them as best as i can and try to avoid what i can't.

the problem comes from, as you said, people that think it makes them unique or special to put a disorder on a mild irritant (don't get me started over how annoyed 'omg i'm triggered by that' gets me over someone just not liking something) and they are vocal and annoying and abrasive about it and it detracts from people with actual disorders. appropriating neurological disorders to make it seem like you're less of an asshole just makes you more of one (general you, no YOU), and it leaves the people like myself and others with genuine disorders to have to sit through people slinging 'legit autist' around. not everyone is a tumblrina using words they don't know.

and ftr, people with actual conditions aren't as rare as you think, they're just less likely to legitimize it with their name because of the potential fallout.

as misophonia anon on other page i genuinely didn't mean to start this frankly embarrassing discussion, i just wanted to see if anyone else here experienced it. i'm not expecting any coddling, i mean, i haven't told my parents because i don't want them to feel awkward about it so i just deal. but it gets unbearable and i really need to vent sometimes.

some of y'all are being some salty bitches about it though.

[(Anonymous)]

the train woman probably isn't in your same situation, and you (as far as you've let on) are not an entitled bitch about it, so you aren't the topic of discussion here.

i'm sorry you aren't able to talk to your parents about it. i hope they're understanding when/if you do.

[(Anonymous)]

i'll honestly take the 'i'm a special snowflake look at how special i am' people over the 'you're faking it and you think you're so unique' people.

i mean, if i had to choose. the former kind of person can still fuck things up for the people who have legitimate problems, but not to the extent as the people who completely disregard even people with legitimate problems on the basis that they might be a special snowflake. most of us aren't doctors. this isn't our determination to make.

i find it better to err on the side of caution and assume someone actually has the problem they're claiming to have than to default to scorning them for alleged attention seeking, because that's the consideration i would want offered to me.
