Does this bother anyone?

Post Reply New Topic

it doesn't bother me when people move stuff around, whether in the living room or bedroom or anything. Messes bother me alot yeah, you make a mess, you pick it up. The one thing that bothers me the most, is when people touch my pillow. Not so much touch it, i can tolerate that, but when it ends up on the floor, or people lay on my bed backwards and got their feet on my pillow, then im ready to rip heads off and drink blood.






Yes, blood.

I have a little difficulty with changed furniture arrangements, but I eventually unlearn the old way.

Clutter affects my thinking... as it did for my mum... but I learnt to live with that.

Things that do get to me.

The GF saying "why is the strainer stored here... it lives over there...and always has"
HAH ! I distinctly remember this as the original storage location when we moved in.

And the biggest gripe..
Moving things into pathways...
I'm a chronically clumsy 6'6" stringbean... I run into things at the best of times.
To top it all off...I don't like turning lights on if I get up in the night.

if you put something in my path I WILL... smash it... kick it... fall over it or spill something on it.

I hate it too. I was raised in a military family so I moved around alot( that with the asperger's was hell). When ever my parents got new furniture, I would not be able to sit on it for a while until I got comfortable with it.

I amm the opposite... I like it when stuff gets moved. Get so sick of it being in the same place after a while.

reminds me of when some people wonders why I can't find their stuff even if it's 'right in front of me'-I didn't put it there that's why!



if it's say, changing a background for a comp yes I do that a lot-especially with so many pics now. Change it often once every few days..

No. Not really, at least that I remember. I was always wanting my parents to move my bedroom furniture to diffrent parts of my room. But maybe that was becuase he was moving it to where I wanted it to be moved. I used to love going to the Cincinatti Zoo as a kid. They had a birdhouse but compelty renivated it. The new bird house is really neat but I miss the old one. My all time favorite animal house was the aquarium. They tore it down to make a Florida exibit. Why was this necessary in Ohio? They had manatees which were my speical intrest at the time but I still will never forgive them for messing up the old aquarium. I was also really upset when they put an ocelot in the cougar cage. Cincinatti Zoo is just a baby factory anyway.

I gotta weigh in on this one too!

I absolutely hate it when my papers or a pile of stuff gets moved!

My $0.02

I think it all has something to do with associations. You want to keep the furniture in the same positions as during a particularly happy or contented period of your life. Somebody goes and moves something, that's all upset, the link is broken.

I had my bedroom the same for 16 years until I moved out. Everything else in the world was changing, but I had somewhere that changed very little.

My husband bought some new furniture to put into a room upstairs that had been used for storage. He cleaned out the room, put the new furniture in it, and bought a new TV, and moved the old one up there. Now, I know that logically it is more comfy to watch TV upstairs in the evenings, but I didn't/couldn't accept that for a couple wks. A few mini-meltdowns later, I have apologized for being so stubborn, and am now enjoying the new space. It just took me a little while.

I don't have a problem with this kind of thing if I'm the one doing it. If I am the one planning, thinking, and arranging it doesn't bother me. It's when other people rearrange/change things without letting me have any time to get used to the idea, or have any input that I get terribly anxious, and upset.

when things get moved, i think it is annoying because it is like my brain won't discard the old information. so if someone says, "oh, the book is on the top of the tv."

i will think of where the tv was FIRST, not where it is now.

this is also why i get EXTREMELY mad when people tell me "facts" that are incorrect. because i can't unlearn them. the bad information will keep popping in my head.

like, if someone told me a snake was a mammal, and then i learned later that was wrong, and it's a reptile, and not a mammal, i would have to go through the whole train of thought every time someone brought up a snake. i would NEVER just think- snake. reptile. i will always be stuck thinking- snake. mammal. wait! that was a lie. no. not mammal. snake. reptile. cold blood. not mammal.

I have a complete meltdown if anything gets moved around. I cried for about ten minutes when my mom took my lamp. I got upset when the firesplace was painted, when we got a new garage door, I freaked out when mom put a book case in my room (I made her take it out). I'm not very change friendly, although I can't stand the same computer background for more than a few days.

YUP!

My mom has rearranged the living room several times, and all I can do is pace, blast my music loud as I can get away with, and bang my head and bite my arm. It really sucks, as not only am I stressed during, but I am disoriented for several months to a year or so, and always bump into stuff because I am used to the way it was before. It's a lot like how a blind person will have trouble when stuff gets moved around - and I do have blurry vision, but with glasses it's pretty minimal and only a problem when reading without a magnifying glass, and with my glasses on I can tell what stuff is).

Also it takes longer to get stuff done in the re-arranged room, since I am constantly circling it, inspecting and feeling different objects in it. I do that a lot when a room has changed, such as when visiting a classroom recently, that used to be for geography and history, then was a literature room, and is now a math room. At this point my obsessive-compulsive tendencies kick in and I try to order and clean everything in sight (this currently doesn't happen often and so usually isn't a problem, but when I was a child I'm pretty sure I could've been diagnosed with OCD).

Can a meltdown trigger a seizure (or was it just coincidence)? I had two meltdowns right before my EEG yesterday (one of them in the car on the way there because we were 20 minutes late, the other, my hair was still slightly damp from a shower five hours earlier, and my mom had to struggle with me to blowdry my hair), and the person doing the EEG kept asking if I was okay and stuff, seemed more concerned than prior times when I had EEGs that turned out normal. I don't think I had any outright seizure (certainly not a convulsive one, but maybe a complex partial), but maybe epileptiform waves or something.
