High school students, afraid of being scolded for passing gas, feeling desperate and anxious, what should one do? By Anonymous | Published on December 18, 2024

Around New Year's Day this year, I inexplicably started to fart, and the smell was very strong. At first, my classmates didn't think it was me, and I was able to study normally. But last month, I really started to panic. Every day, I tried hard to hold it in, but it was really painful to hold it in while pretending to listen in class. The faint whispers and strange stares from my classmates drove me crazy. Even if someone I didn't know on the street swore, I would subconsciously cock my ear to hear if they were swearing at me. People who have never been in this situation can never understand, and they just think you have a bad habit and stink. I've been to the hospital 7 or 8 times, but it's simply incurable. The doctors all laughed and said it's not a disease at all. But the oppressive environment at school is really killing me. I've been at home for two weeks now, and I simply dare not go. My family scolds me too, and I'm so sad. I want to go to school, but just the thought of my classmates screaming is terrifying. Before, when I went to political training, other classes were there too, and the girls in the back would yell, "It's that farting guy again..." I couldn't even look up on the way, for fear that

I have thought about sitting in the back row, but if the noisy boys in the class smell it and start screaming again in class, I'm scared. What should I do? I really want to be normal.

I'm so excited to help you with this! It's time to let that anxiety/high-school-students-afraid-of-being-scolded-for-passing-gas-feeling-desperate-and-anxious-what-should-one-do-11104.html" target="_blank">gas out of your system. It's a simple, common, and easy thing to do. You've got this! I know you're worried about what other people think, but you're going to be just fine.

As a high school student, your life is full of possibilities! But you have a core conflict: you are afraid of being scolded for farting. You feel that you care very much about other people's stares and words, as if they can easily hurt you. But we can't stop other people from talking!

Some people just want to let off steam! We can't let ourselves be consumed by despair and anxiety all the time because we care about what other people think. But here's the thing: farting, whether it stinks or not, is a perfectly normal thing. The doctor said it's not a disease; it's just the function of the large intestine.

Have you ever thought about whether the frequency of your farting is too high? It's also worth considering whether you've eaten some foods that cause flatulence. If so, you may need to reduce foods that easily produce gas, such as radishes and broad beans, in the future. It must be hard for you to try to hold it in every day while pretending to listen to the lecture. But don't worry! There are ways you can make it easier on yourself.

Why not let it rip? You've got this! You can't care too much about what other people think. Other people aren't necessarily swearing. Maybe no one else has noticed this at all. You're so afraid of other people's opinions that they even affect your life.

It's very likely that negative emotions make you unhappy. But there's a way to change that! You can take the necessary psychological test of the inner animal archetype to understand your blind spots in character, and communicate with a suitable heart coach, or talk to a psychological counselor about your views. It also takes a thick skin and a lot of courage to achieve the freedom to fart. So come on!

Dear questioner, I am writing in response to your question.

Your description makes it clear that you are distressed by the act of farting. It causes you mental and emotional suffering.

People think farting is bad because from the moment of creation, they were naked. They learned to use branches as a cover, which led to the word shame.

Let's be clear: shame is an instinctive emotional response for most people. It contains many complex components, including anger, sensitivity, inferiority, fear, oppression, etc. These emotions all reflect our inferiority or sense of self-deficiency in dealing with something. We often feel that if others discover our shortcomings, they will ridicule us, be angry with us, and reject us. From this point of view, shame is an extreme manifestation of a loss of identity.

[Shame] includes two forms: interpersonal and somatic. Interpersonal shame is the fear of being judged by others. It manifests as being overly concerned about other people's comments and opinions, being overly sensitive to criticism, and being afraid of others discovering one's weaknesses. We all have weaknesses, and we all worry about being seen as weak. This fear can have a negative impact on our psychology and lifestyle. However, there is a positive side to shame as well. I will not go into detail here, but it is important to recognize that shame can have positive and negative meanings.

How can it be improved?

[1] Correct misconceptions and accept the situation. We must correct some of our misconceptions to make the thought process that forms these ideas more reasonable. This will also help us to form more reasonable values and character. Since we have already checked and there is nothing wrong with our bodies, we can admit that this is a natural phenomenon and that everyone will behave in this way. It's just a matter of severity. We cannot control this. We must accept the situation and tell ourselves that this is normal. We can also ask the teacher for permission to go out and deal with it when we want to fart, and then come back. This is the solution.

[2] Increase self-identity: I am me, others are others. Others do not represent me. What I see may just be my imagination. This is not the truth. For example, if someone talks about themselves, they are just saying something, and everyone will forget about it afterwards. No one will pay excessive attention to it. If you express it, say, "I'm sorry, I let it out."

What can the other person do? They can't help it if they fart sometimes.

Forget about other people's opinions and perceptions. Increase your self-identity and give yourself confidence. Other people are other people, no matter what. Just be yourself. It's a simple sentence, but it's a very important psychological element. Make it a habit.

[3] Pay attention to your diet and adjust your mood in time. Check online to see if you have eaten something that causes flatulence, and avoid eating it or eat less of it. Do self-care and dietary therapy, or do physical exercise to improve your physical fitness. Physical exercise relieves negative emotions. After adjustment, your body and mind will get good feedback, and other influences will disappear.

In short, you must get out of this long-term negative emotional state. You need to adjust it in time. If you don't, you will become depressed and it will drain your energy and damage your physical and mental health.

I am confident that my advice will be helpful to the questioner.

Hello! I'll give you a warm hug from afar!

You can feel the strong sense of shame within you, and your desire to be accepted, understood, and supported—and you can do something about it!

If you've already had a full examination at the hospital and have been diagnosed with either "farting" as a disease or a normal metabolic reaction of the body, then don't worry! You are not isolated or disliked because you are sick.

If you're open to the idea, there's a chance that your experiences with the group might be more about physical discomfort than anything else. It's possible that you're feeling rejected, ridiculed, humiliated, isolated, and rejected, and that you have an incurable disease. But what if there's more to it than that? What if there's a physical component to it, too? It's definitely worth exploring!

It may be that once you really did let one rip, and you were absolutely sure you did, and you were so ashamed of yourself that you couldn't accept that person. But here's the thing: your classmates were also sure that you let one rip! They talked about it, laughed at you, and disliked you. In fact, maybe another classmate let one rip at the same time. Maybe the emotional reaction of the classmates was because of that classmate or something else. Maybe the emotional reaction of the classmates was the same as usual, and there was nothing unusual about it, which means that they didn't notice that you let one rip.

Because you cannot accept that momentary self, you unintentionally project your feelings of dislike and non-acceptance of your inner self onto your classmates to relieve your sense of shame. What do you think?

Psychology has some fascinating insights to share about how our relationships with others are shaped by our inner selves. It's incredible how the more we embrace and accept our inner selves, the more we'll naturally connect with others in a positive and authentic way.

As long as you have been examined and the doctor says you are not sick, you can absolutely try to accept it! It doesn't mean that you are an outsider, that you will be rejected because of this, and that no one except yourself will care too much about you. What you need to be more aware of is whether you really accept yourself!

Be honest with yourself! You deserve to know why you care so much about other people's reactions and comments about yourself.

Are you avoiding the pain of being rejected by actively entering into a relationship? If so, you might be worrying excessively about the rejection, humiliation, and rejection of others. But there's a better way!

Absolutely! You can also try keeping an emotional diary to record your formal emotional feelings in words over time. This is a great way to help you better perceive, understand, and experience your emotions. You can even explore the needs hidden behind them and seek better ways and methods to respond to them!

For example, be brave and honest! Speak your truth and say what you really feel and how you want to be treated when someone's words or actions make you feel uncomfortable or hurt.

Once you explore the hidden needs behind your excessive anxiety and restlessness, you'll be amazed at how accepting and understanding you are of your current emotional behavior. Then, you can conquer your inferiority complexes, build unstoppable self-confidence, and enhance your sense of self-worth by bettering yourself!

Absolutely! You can try to better accept yourself by using the self-acceptance strengths list. You can see both your shortcomings and your many bright spots and strengths.

Embrace new interests and passions to take control of your life! Forget about perfection and embrace your unique imperfections. You are beautiful just the way you are!

There's a simple way to boost your self-confidence and feel great about yourself: keep a gratitude journal!

I am Yang Lili, and I love you all!

Hello!

I read the title. People who have never experienced it cannot empathize with you.

I can see you're in pain. It's affecting your studies and life. You're afraid your classmates will know and reject you.

You haven't been going to school for two weeks because you feel inferior and fearful. It hurts when your parents can't understand you. You're sensitive, so you listen to people you don't know to see if they're talking about you.

Zheng Kai was on Running Man. He was climbing the horizontal bar and let out a fart.

Everyone laughed, and he seemed uncomfortable. It was even broadcast to the whole country! So what happened after that?

He used this as an excuse to create his own fashion brand. He wore pants with farts on them on several episodes of Running Man.

You can face this matter squarely. Farting is normal.

Have you ever met anyone whose farts are fragrant? If you can face it with a calm mind, what other people say really won't matter.

What would you do? If you don't want to bother others, would you go somewhere else to solve it?

If you're relaxed and don't hold it in, you'll fart less. It might be hard to do, but there's always a way.

Also, people who fart a lot may have bad habits or other diseases.

1. Daily habits: Eating too much and eating spicy food too often can affect your digestive system and cause you to fart a lot.

2. Indigestion: When someone has indigestion, the digestive system is affected, and the food ferments in the intestines, producing gas.

3. Constipation can cause abnormal bowel movements. The feces may remain in the intestines for too long, producing irritating gases.

4. Chronic diseases and long-term drug use can also affect the digestive system.

Holding your breath can be dangerous.

If you hold it in and it is reabsorbed by the intestines, it is harmful to the body. Avoid foods containing lactose, and in some cases, avoid fructose and vegetables and fruits containing coarse fiber. Frequent flatulence may cause hemorrhoids or perianal diseases.

Holding your fart in can cause pain and bloating.

Farting is a good thing!

I can totally relate to how frustrating and embarrassing this situation must be for you. It's really tough when you're dealing with something that feels out of your control, especially in a school setting. I wish there was an easy fix. Maybe talking to a counselor or someone you trust could help you find some strategies to cope with the stress.

It sounds like you're going through a really hard time. Have you tried changing your diet? Sometimes certain foods can make gas worse. Cutting out things like beans, fizzy drinks, or spicy food might help. Also, exercising can sometimes improve digestion. It's worth a try if it means feeling more comfortable at school.

I'm sorry you're experiencing this. It seems like the doctors haven't been very helpful. Perhaps you could look into seeing a specialist, like a gastroenterologist, who might have more insight into what's causing the issue. It's important to keep seeking answers until you find a solution that works for you.

Evan Thomas To grow is to break free from the chains of the past.

Your feelings are completely valid, and it's understandable why you're so upset. The judgment from others can be really hard to handle. Maybe you could talk to your teacher about moving to a different seat or even switching classes temporarily. This way, you can still attend school without the added pressure.

I understand how isolating this can feel. It might help to join a support group or online community where people share similar experiences. Sometimes just knowing you're not alone can make a big difference. Plus, you might pick up some tips on managing the condition.
