I've never had a stranger ask me to stop doing whatever I am doing. But in class, if I was doing something repetitive and annoying I'm usually only half aware I am and if it bothers them I stop. I'm a bouncer and a rocker, however I don't realise I'm doing it until its pointed out to me. When in connected desks/chairs I try not to and stop when someone asks me. repetitive and endless movement relaxes me
there was this kid in grade school,. he had a back brace... Then fucking nuns would smack the shit out of him for rocking back and forth.. (he couldnt help it.. If they never closed this school. I think Id of been an arsonist..
Ive been having flashback of the abuse there for a while.. the % of kids that failed in life coming from this school is pretty high.. This town is Crack Alley, Heroin Way, Narcotics Blvd, to the Alcohol Express HOV Lane... starting from the parking lot that school..
wow that is tragic! I am sorry you had to go to that awful school. I hope you werent too screwed up from it.
some folks still get pretty aggravated at me cause I tend to tap out morse code with my fingers on table tops or whatever is close by.....Hard to stop for some reason...;-) Hang in there Orison!...
the grade school shit became to much for me. I began cutting class as early as the 5th grade, about the 7th grade I was always cutting , when I did go to school there I was from the other side of town.. Not only did teacher, nuns, priest students bully and abuse me and other student, the students parents that volunteered also become bullies, pitting their kids against others.. Then one day 2 students jumped me and while fighting them I bit the fingers, then a big chunk out one the students sides(near his rib cage).. my parents were almost sued by this kids parents cause the damage I did. yet they jumped me... I then went to a public school, suspended the first day there on the bus cause some black kid was picking on this retarded kid that was my neighbor. Since ive been in numerous fights with more than one student at a time. I figured I could kick his ass, and I did... then his sister said something I smacked the shit out her too.. / fact :Retarded kid(girl) today in the manager of a Bank.... my wife knows the sister of the girl, she really wasnt retarded at all.. she was just shy and slow.... Whos the dummy now?..
Anyone bothered by fingernails scraping on a chalkboard?....Well, most of you never heard of a chalkboard anyway.....;-)
yeah eek.. just today my cat was scraping her nails off the wall, its just a hard painted wall, it made that kind of noise.. it actually annoyed me :rofl:
That's a pretty common symptom of ADHD For the record, I do this and I would be incredibly bemused if someone asked me to stop (no one has since I was in Jr High). I do it without thinking and I usually try to stop when I notice that I'm doing it because I think it's weird. But I assume I probably have ADD or ADHD since I was told to be put on ritalin when I was a kid. Luckily, my parents refused. There are plenty of things that annoy me that I tolerate... loud chewing and breathing, etc. so I think people can tolerate me. And I guess they do haha
why should they stop tapping if it annoys you? maybe it annoys them to stop tapping stop being so selfish
Im a tapper...and I shake my feet constantly Im always making weird mouth noises too and I asking me to stop just makes it worse
It's not that she's selfish, though, it apparently really does hurt her. She can't help that, it's not an annoyance as much as a sensory processing problem in her brain.
Im going to assume you thought I read more than just the first post I was just posting in regards to the OP
I've always had restless legs. One of them is always moving or bounching 90% of the time. Though I know the toe tap bugs people so now I just rest that leg on the ball of my foot and bop the heel up and down. It doesn't touch the floor, therefore not making a sound. I can bop my leg all I want in silence and not bother anybody.
