Does Anyone Else Hate to Make Sound?

Post Reply New Topic

People tell me that I sneak up on them all the time. Truth is, I hate being loud while walking down the hallway; so I have trained myself how to walk in order to make the least amount of sound. This probably didn't help my already "bizarre gait."

I think that is the most disrespectful thing that NTs do: making a lot of pointless and annoying noise.

I'm one of those, I don't want to bother people, wake people, annoy people, give them their own space people . . . kinda person.

Except for my mouth and my music, everything I do is quiet. I simply do not enjoy making a lot of extraneous noise. Anyone else like this?

I do not mind making noise. but I can be completely silent if need be.

Last Crazy Horn, yes.

I've heard my shoes making sound while walking on the concrete outside so I started walking on my tip toes instead like a tennis shoe wearing stealthing ninja.

I have a habit of rubbing my hands together while talking to people but I hate the sound so the sound is what makes me stop.

Sister always being scared by me i dont mean to do it, im only purposely quiet if i think so one new maybe round, i wont just walk downstairs unless i know the situation first.

Actually thinking about it im often in stealth mode

Meh... I'm always aware of how my walking sounds, and I try to walk quietly - but it depends on my mood. Also, I sometimes have a really good rythm, and I tend to prioritize that when it's there.

I have two modes of movement: a heavy, confident stride that alludes vaguely to gestapo; and complete silence. I have different defaults for different places. But like others here, I seem to have developed a habit of startling the bejesus out of people by approaching unheard and suddenly speaking. My son's mom (whom I've inadvertently startled about a zillion times) swears I've got some Blackfoot in me; only in spirit, I tell her.

The one person who I have difficulty sneaking up on, even when I try, is my autistic son. He always seems to "sense" my presence, even when I know I'm being completely silent. Interesting.

Good fortune,

My stupid gait prevents walking in complete silence, unless I am only wearing socks, which is not practical this time of year. My feet tend to smack the side of my leg, and my feet tend to land completely flat on the floor, which turns out to be quite loud. Me running is this faster. Yes, stealth mode would be very nice, if it was not for my stupid feet. Stupid feet, who both failed to get into college. One of them was no good at sports, so I had to leave it in the changing room until break time. The rest of me walks in silence.
