Am I the only one who hates the sound of whispering?

Post Reply New Topic

It actualy hurts my ears. I hate when people whisper into my ear becuase I can't understand what they are saying and I hate the sensation of air on my ears. I can't understand what people say when they whisper and yes it actualy hurts my ears.

omgosh no i dont like the gentle wind in my ears at all... But when i was a kid, my oldest brother would whisper "i love you" into my ears to make me smile, i would laugh and giggle loved that feeling, he knew it too, so he would do randomly just to see me smile hehhe.. now its like "eww ughh ahhh, ok get away from me now lol". So your not alone haha.

Can't hear what people say when they whisper. I've missed many a punchline to a dirty joke because of this. "So the monkey says, that's not sshsshshshs it's me shshshshshsh !" And then all the blokes laugh ....

I cant STAND whispering!! It is painful and it feels kind of like a really sharp knife going through my ear. I can not understand it either. I usually start squirming around.

Whispering really freaks me out for some reason.

For me, the sound of whispering is definitely nerve wracking.

Yeah, it's bloody annoying. Though I suppose it's not really the whispering sound but the fact that I usually can't make enough of it out for what's being said to be clear. I am also annoyed by muttering, by people who talk to me from behind doors and walls, by people who talk to me while standing on the other side of a centrifuge that generates a strange sort of wall-of-noise between us, by people who continue to talk at exactly the same volume while an airplane roars by overhead, obliterating their words, etc. It is not so much that I am all that interested in what they might be saying at the time, in fact I can be bored as anything with the conversation as the airplane or whatever starts to drown it out, but there's something nerve-wracking about not understanding it.

In childhood, I was made quite miserable by having an earlier bedtime than the rest of the family. I was forced to lie there in bed, hearing unintelligable conversation a few rooms away, unable to sleep because I'd keep latching onto comprehensible fragments, compelled to try to make out the whole.

I don't particularly like whispering, but it's not painful to me. What I don't like is the fact that it's terribly difficult to pick up what someone is saying when they whisper. Low voices are fine, as long as there aren't any other sounds, but please don't whisper...

I'm with you on this one.About a year ago I raised a topic asking if an aversion to
whispering could be an AS trait. It's the 'gossipy' type of whispering that really annoys me
because it can make those who are just out of earshot feel like they're being socially excluded,
especially if they are already sensitive to social issues.

I might allow a child to whisper into my ear - but no adults. Maybe if I really really trusted an adult I might allow it. If an adult wants to say something to me in private, there are better ways.

Increasing the mouth-to-ear distance might help.

I can't stand it. I end up jerking away from the person and telling them that if they have anything to say to me, they can say it out loud and quietly, and not right in my ear like that either. It's the combination of the fact that whispering is really loud, really distorted, and really close to my ear, that irritates me about it.

I HATE it! My stepdad has a bad habit of whispering strange things around me, and when i tell him to stop he won't. it hurts like heck!

I've got pretty much the same issues with it as anbuend does, only I can handle it it small doses if the'ir far away.

*esplodes* yes, i do. *picks up limbs and walks away*
