Why do I hate the sound of laughter?

[katie126]

Every time I hear someone laughing I don't know why but I just get so angry and upset. I feel like I want to hurt the person who's laughing. It's so distracting whenever I'm trying to do something. It also isn't fair why other people can laugh and be happy while I sit and be miserable. I never used to feel this way oh and I never laugh anymore either. So is there something wrong with me. Should I get help, what are your guy's opinions.

You need to seek help, and I encourage you to talk to your parents or guardians or someone else you respect, and have them talk to you about therapy. There isn't anything you did or have had done to you that makes it helpful for you to be miserable, and I know from having been told that many times that hearing that you shouldn't be miserable doesn't help. That's why I strongly suggest talking to people about it and getting into therapy, and don't delay doing it. Figure out the soonest day you can talk to someone about how you are feeling and do it.

One thing you can do that will help is to acknowledge how you are feeling by writing it down when you feel it. A lot of people try to change while at the same time denying that there is a problem, and it doesn't work. You can help yourself accept what you are feeling by catching your thoughts and writing down what is going through your head at the time. Write down even things you wouldn't say, like "I hate that this girl is laughing and I want to hurt her." It will be hard to examine certain thoughts that you have tried to avoid for a long time, but don't stop doing it even if it seems useless at first. Being able to recognize your own thoughts and emotions is extremely important for self-recovery, and it's something you can learn to do even if you have been practicing self-denial for a long time.

Thanks! I really do want you to get help, I have been there and it is rough.

You answered your own question in your question. "It also isn't fair why other people can laugh and be happy while I sit and be miserable."

Do not try to seek misery. Many people, though they won't admit it, WANT to be miserable. They look for it and thus, find it. I've also had the same problem u do. (Still sort of have it but trying to get better).

You need to find some new hobby or some place to go that makes you happy. Today I started going to this coffee shop near my school and I've never gone before. I chatted with some people and it was nice. I'm going to go there somewhat regularly from now on.

Anyways, hope this helps a little, good luck.

Don't try to spread your misery onto other people. That's your own issue if you cannot laugh or be happy.

It would be best to speak with someone about this. Venting can help relieve stress and sadness.

"It also isn't fair why other people can laugh and be happy while I sit and be miserable."

Obviously there's a deeper issue. I'm not a therapist so I can't tell you.

[Jerusha]

I down voted your opinion by mistake :/

[Yellowbone]

@jerusha it's okay

[Jerusha]

It could either be misophonia, or you just hate the sound of their laughter because you're not happy and you can't be part of it

[ilovchipmunk]

ok , i started to hate playing these psychology tricks and most of time people feel being offensed and would not appreciate it.
girl, you love be spoted light on, aren't you?
Jealousy isn't the origin to show such a extremly aggression and jamming, and the victim you intend to duel with was a she? okeydokey , could been a he... nevermind, so iguess you don't have this wonderful family status to accompany your growingup? and may be a bit of inferiority complex, in the result, you're feeling you can't get the same normal things like anybody else then you started to resent your family background. will you be uncomfortable to stand in a crowd? feeling different from the others? your profile writed Favorite subject = Social Studies, actually no one will like sociology if the social like them.
i also know you girls like puzzle game , it's a kind of unwillingness for me to participate.
you supposed to shapes more detail if really want to get help, or it's may be just a puzzle.

This is truly odd. Like you are put off by the thought that someone may be happy? I suspect you are in the pain of a depression. Do get some help.

If you want to try to desensitize to laughter, go to YouTube and search for 'Baby Laughing'. A normal feeling person enjoys this sight and sound. If you have the urge to slap the kid, yeah, go look for help. It sounds like a fairly simple fix.

You need to laugh. Like asap. I think your giggle box is broken. ... I hate spongebob. It's infected my mind. Do what makes you happy and crack a smile, something has to make you laugh.

[JustinCaseUDontKnow]

Maybe you should get some counseling you seem depressed
maybe a change in life lead to you feeling like this i know it sucks

[mario1321]

You hate to hear others laughh because you hate you own

[theCatcherintheRye]
