I am sensitive to sounds and easily annoyed. How do I regulate my emotions?

How was your weekend?

Please take the time to carefully read your description. Do you feel any confusion?

Your sensitivity to sound may be attributed to your heightened auditory sensitivity or an unpleasant experience associated with this sound.

1. Identify the underlying cause.

It would be beneficial to ascertain the reason for your sensitivity to this sound. It may be because this sound evokes negative emotions or experiences, or it may be that what bothers you is not the sound itself, but the fact that you feel this way about the way your mother makes gagging sounds, and you want her to change this habit. However, after repeatedly providing feedback, your mother does not take it seriously or improve, and you feel that your requests and expressions have not been acknowledged or accepted. This may also be one of the reasons why you feel annoyed.

2. Communicate and resolve.

It is important to communicate effectively with your mother.

Could you please try to express your feelings again in a calm manner? For example, you could say, "Mother, I've noticed that you like to stick your tongue out after meals. It may not be a conscious action, but it does sound unhygienic and unsightly. I've mentioned this to you on three or five occasions, but it seems you may not have heard me."

Additionally, propose alternative solutions, such as the use of a toothpick. Strive to find a mutually acceptable compromise, such as limiting this behavior to a specific time or location.

3. Relaxation techniques:

It would be beneficial to learn some relaxation techniques such as deep breathing, meditation, or progressive muscle relaxation to help calm down when you feel irritated. At the same time, it is important to accept that everyone has habits, habits that may make others feel uncomfortable. However, unless the individual realizes the need to change and takes action, worrying about it will only lead to negative feelings.

Additionally, it may be beneficial to consider alternative perspectives, identify potential solutions, and maintain a positive outlook.

4. Avoid stimuli.

It is advisable to avoid exposure to sound environments that may trigger negative emotions. If possible, you may wish to consider leaving the room when your mother gags you, or wearing earplugs to reduce sound stimulation.

It is important to note that sensitivity to sound and the most suitable coping method vary from person to person. The most appropriate method should be selected based on the individual's circumstances. Additionally, it is essential to be patient and understanding, as changing another person's habits may require time.

I hope you have found this information useful. Best regards,

It seems like you have a lot of inner energy, so when something gets to you emotionally, you feel stressed and release the energy that has built up in your body by letting it out. I don't know if you've noticed, but is your mother the only one who stresses you out, or is it the same with everyone? This might have something to do with your lifestyle or values, and we need to think about what this voice means to you.

You can also talk to her about how she feels about doing this. There's always a reason behind every behavior. You need to figure out what she is thinking in order to correct her behavior. Just expressing your dislike of the behavior won't make your mother change it. You need to explore it from a cognitive level.

Additionally, emotional control is tied to how you view anger. If you feel guilty after losing your temper, you need to learn to control your emotions. For instance, when you hear your mother's voice, try to distract yourself. When you stop paying attention to her voice, your emotions may also be relieved. Or use the delay method. Every time you want to lose your temper, count to ten in your mind. If it still doesn't help, it's not too late to lose your temper.

If you don't express your emotions, they'll just stay there. It's important to feel the emotion and explore the reasons for it.

Another way to handle it is to try to accept, respect, and understand others, which is also an important part of family relationships.

If that doesn't work, you can avoid the situation in advance if you can predict that your mother will behave in a way that you can't hear.
