Just Wondering????

[arenee]

I have noticed over the last 4-6 months that multiple sounds bug me......like my husband talking to me with the tv at a medium level...... He was listening to a rugby game on his laptop and the morning news on the TV and I couldn't stay in the room....it kinda made me nauseous. I have also got to where I dont like people (my children) talking to me (or other people) without looking at me......I don't think it is a hearing problem but more an issue with respecting the other person enough to give them your full attention......

Am I just being weird or do you understand how I am feeling?

I get tired of all the noise and people trying to scream over the x-box and TV. So I know how you are feeling. And I don't like more than one going at once. That turns me into a psycho mommy!

soooo there with you. I HAVE to turn commercials down, I hate taking over the radio in the car ... dh gets mad and just turns it off when I turn it down so I can HEAR what he is saying ... shesh. And yep, looking me in the eye while talking to me is very respectful. I am right there with ya.

I wonder if it's just a part of getting "older." I find that I can't have the TV too loud if I want to talk, the radio gets turned down when we're trying to talk in the car, in fact, I shut the tv off when the kids are napping. Never bothered me when I bartended...heck, we'd have the TV blaring, jukebox blasting and still would talk over it. Have I mentioned I can't go in a bar anymore? If you're not looking at me when you're talking...I don't know you're talking to me most of the time. I thought that was just common practice.

Just as an FYI...if certain people cannot seem to look you in the eye and talk to you...it could be that simply they can't. I know from researching Aspergers Syndrome...it is a VERY common trait. It's not disrespect...they just can't look at the face and listen at the same time.

I'm becoming amazed at what people with Aspergers Syndrome have to deal with to 'fit in' with the rest of the people...and the same with ADHD.

Let's see...you were saying? Oh yes...I cannot stand for anyone to be trying to talk to me from the next room with their tv on...you wanna talk to me...come here without all the noise and talk to me. lol

Laura~you said what I was afraid to put into words....Is it that I am getting older? ; }

Sharon--What I am talking about is more in my household. I dont like talking to my son's back as he is playing the Wii or my older son as he is on the computer. Or my husband who is eating his lunch standing at the counter with one eye on the news.........
