Med/psych term for unnatural aversion?

I have your cure:




I've actually almost smashed things when these commercials come on. I've turned the channel almost every time, I refuse to listen to them. I've plugged my ears. I've screamed.

You too, huh? One time I grabbed the remote and reflexively threw it at the tv instead of using it to hit the mute button like I intended to do. :help:

Some people are just noisy eaters. I can handle folks crunching things as long as they aren't taking huge bites so that they have to suck in gulps of air through their mouth in order to breath while they eat. It's like some people try to drown themselves when they eat.

The wife is very diet-conscious, and not just the typical female/I'm fat thing; we both are what I call *backslidding health Nazis* :D
We do little red meat, preservatives, artificial colors, etc; lots of fruit, veggies, some fish, etc. Daughter likes pizza... :rolleyes:
Our doctor is excellent- a very sweet, old-world and motherly Latina, she knows her stuff AND cares- she calls us each *miha*(sp?)

Anyway, I will look into the younglings nutritional dealio. The wife is fine, just unaware maybe. :ninja:

Actually eating a ton of fruits and vegetables is not necessarily good for you. Many fruits are sugar or carb dominant, as are certain vegetables and nuts, and a few other things you wouldn't think of.

I'm not saying you have a poor diet, but the idea that a bunch of fruit all day is good for you is actually not entirely true. I hear this crap all the time, as the rest of my immediate family has started diets and dieting classes from this team of former Stanford doctors. I know many diets are BS or sound corny, but from what I've read it seems like these folks have science on their side. I was reading some of their literature and it's quite interesting.

I have to be honest, going to find them on Youtube and seeing people almost literally starting riots and boycotting Kit-Kat in mass numbers is both hilarious and also validating.

They have so many of those commercials - I cannot fathom how they were able to turn their ears off of the horridly obnoxious crunching sounds. I'm generally not affected or irritated by sound at'all but those commercials are cringing.

I actually think the OPs reaction and those like it are caused by a form of anxiety.

I used to be like that until I worked on getting unstressed. I still don't like it when someone chews with their mouth open.

A lot of people have anxiety and aren't even aware of it, I sure wasn't.

If it's not a named condition, it should be. Throwing remote controls at TVs, running out of a room, wanting to murder people. These are not normal responses to most stimuli. Certainly not crunching of chips. It may not be my favorite thing, but I never thought of throwing a remote or running. Not normal. Just sayin. Get to a the rapist...... I mean therapist quickly.

Man- lots of responses- Im on the iPad, which Im not great with, so bear w/me: I don't lie awake at night tripping on this(other stuff maybe :D), I and most of my family try to eat a decently varied diet- not just fruit, the two things I mentioned as bothersome don't irk me so much when anyone else does it, and yes I am an old perv/weirdo. That part Im comfortable with. I have not thrown a TV remote in recent memory. :)

It's really not that bad for me- just makes me wonder a bit, particularly the selective ness. If a complete stranger at a restaurant started crunching ice, it might bother me, but I don't think I'd need to leave. My kid does it, I'm gone. :hmm:
Same deal w/a stranger vs wife chewing- I think I'd deal w/it better from anyone else, not sure why. I have to believe I've heard others chew their food rudely and not had the same urge or I'd be at least a bit more on edge a lot of the time. I dunno... Anxiety/stress? Perhaps... If one doesn't feel either of these to some small extent then I would really wonder. :D

That's true yet I think most people have more than they know, our bodies are just so used to it we don't recognize the amount.

If your bass fell off it's stand and the neck cracked, would you scream and yell or would you have a natural, slightly upset uneasy feeling for a while?

Depends on which one. :D
On that note, my sixer- a Stambaugh- fell face-first onto concrete at an outdoor show; although only the B-string tuner was damaged, before finding out I didn't really freak too severely. Strangely, big things don't usually bother me as much as small stuff. My father is like this, and there are a few behaviors that make him nuts. But he's 89, FWIW

No disrespect intended: I think it is

Easier to throw label on it and then lean on the label than it is to do the work, it's becoming the American way

This could enrage some: It's like alcoholism; It doesn't exist until you add alcohol?

I have two doctors in my family and great respect for them, their training and their opinion on this. Yet I stand firm that alcoholism is another label to mask the real reason. My step dad and just a month ago a good friend both died from "alcoholism" they didn't want to work on their crap. I'm sure they did become addicted at some point, and maybe some have a tendency to very quickly, however, if they never drank would they still be alcoholics?

You can quote me any thing you can Google and that won't change it. We're more in control than we want to think because if we realized that fact we would have to put responsibility upon ourselves

People have several reasons for what ails them and not everyone has the same reason for their "disease" or "disorder"

Of course I'm not saying there are not real diseases and real disorders, just not as many as we lean on

Wouldn't it be wild if we actually could do something about our life and our crap?

We can
