I mean physically angry like you want to punch somebody. The sound of it is the most annoying thing in the world. The subject matter of what people are whispering about does not bother me, it could be gossip or something more innocent like asking for a writing utensil. There's something about it which completely derails any train of thought and is genuinely painful.

Googled it and turns out I'm not alone:

i think what thatgirll and the asker of the question are talking about is NOT that they hate when people seem to be gossiping about them when they whisper. what thatgirll and the asker of the question are referring to is the NOISES people make when they whisper. i dont know WHY i hate it so much..i literally feel angry to the same point they mention! i want to punch a wall or something! i hate the intimacy of it or something...i wish i could say why! part of me wonders if i have some kind of trauma around whispering bc i despise it THAT MUCH!

^That poster hit the nail on the head. That is exactly how I feel. It doesn't seem to be "Misophonia" either, which is a hatred of more ordinary sounds but I suppose it would be a similar type of disorder or fall under that same umbrella.

What the fuck is wrong with GAF

This in all its forms.
Figure most people aren't serious.
Least I hope they aren't. Seems like OT would be a pain to hang around.

 

[Floridian]

It doesn't bother me at all.

 

[Salmonax]

Here's what's wrong with you.

Double rage.

 

[True Savior]

Girl whispering in my ears....good. Very good.

Batman , not so much

Was 100% sure this was going to be a docpan thread

There's a set in the population that were bullied growing up so there are certain triggers such as whispering that can set it off. As you can imagine whispering to some people can imply that they are secretly talking bad about them.

 

[jmood88]

I'm glad I don't go through life getting upset at the type of things that upset so many people around here.

 

[Vyer]

Sub_Level will look up and shout "Does anyone else.."

And I'll whisper "no".

Like I said, the subject matter does not bother me.

They could be whispering about theoretical physics or buying groceries. It does not matter. It's the fucking audible texture if you will. How it sounds, you know?

 

[CarpeDeezNutz]

Sorta like that, except it's when people whisper sing, kinda grating to me.

 

[FiggyCal]

It doesn't bother me at all.

I just know they're talking about me.

The fuck did they say?

 

[Angel_DvA]

Does anyone else get angry from people whispering?

Week-End Gaf is best Gaf !!

 

[Orbis Tabula]

Yo, I think we need to have a group therapy session or something. Some of you people are acting weird, lately.

Seriously. Half the people on this site are so socially inept it's ridiculous. They'll make a thread like this then like a week later they'll make another thread asking people why they don't have any friends.

ᵇᶫᵉˢˢ ʸᵒᵘ

Lol.

 

[Floridian]

I just know they're talking about me.

The fuck did they say?

It's a secret.

 

[CountAntonius]

Welcome to hell.

 

[Paskil]

Only when people are having a side discussion during a project meeting. So obnoxious. Take it into the fucking hall.

 

[Xe4]

Nope. Whistling pisses me off greatly, however.

 

[Fritz]

I think at the workplace in general. Otherwise I don't care.

 

[Pai Pai Master]

why are you guys so fucking mad today. first bless you, now whispering?

 

[strafer]

I love it when people whisper softly into my ear.

 

[Charles Foster Kane]

Makes you physically angry?

...

 

[Trey]

Rest assured that if they're whispering ills about you, they do so because they are cowards before your might. Otherwise, it doesn't concern you.

Ease up a little.

 

[Floridian]

I'm waiting for the "The expression Thank god it's friday is offensive to me" thread.

[umop_3pisdn]

Uh, no, that's weird. I don't like the sound, but it doesn't infuriate me or anything close to that.

But people who smack their food should all be locked up in dungeon.

 

[Rawket Lawnchair]

dude, wtf

 

[Sub_Level]

Again, the subject matter of their whispering does not matter.

The whispering of their whispering is what incites anger. Just talk normally, text each other, write notes, whisper low enough so I don't hear it at all. But for the love of christ, do not whisper in my general vicinity.

 

[studyguy]

I get annoyed at people drumming their fingers impatiently due to years of working retail in early college life. Doesn't mean I'm going to get physically angry or let it bother me for more than a second. It's not a big deal.

 

[Foxtastical]

Jesus, who gives a shit. Deal with it. See the forest for the trees in life.

 

[Sub_Level]

Oh rest assured, it will reach a point where I will deal with it one of these days.

[Mr-Joker]

Yes but it's only because I am profoundly deaf in both ears so I can't hear whenever someone is whispering to me and no matter how many times I tell them that, they don't get the message.

 

[Anteater]

I'm not sure if it's the same thing, but I hated the deep and lower sounding whispering voice, like if someone is speaking really quietly in another room I can still hear it, but it would sound like mumbling, it's annoying and it does get on my nerves.

What happened to you, though?

 

[Twilight Gap]

the WORST

 

[Bladenic]

Seek professional help. Hate to hear what else sets you off.

 

[Cybrwzrd]

What the fuck is wrong with GAF

Insecurity, sociopathy, and anger issues.

 

[HammerOfThor]

It annoys me more when people are whispering in quiet areas(like theaters and quiet cars in trains) than if they where talking normal.

But does it make me rage? No. It just annoys me.

 

[The Incarnation]

It's not an attractive quality, especially in males, neither is mumbling. It implies one has a malevolent mind.

 

[Salmonax]

Makes you physically angry?

...

It's a neurological disorder called Misophonia. My friend has it, and he'll angrily leave the room if someone is eating noisy food like chips, popcorn, or carrots. Like he's actually upset by it - it rattles him deeply.
