I want to know if something is wrong with me. Normally, you pick up a baby when their crying. For me, when I hear a baby screaming I pound my head as if to try and knock the sound out. I shove my head into a pillow. I yell. I make loud noise to drown out the sound. What I do isnt a normal reaction to hearing a baby cry. Does this mean anything? Does it have something to do with a health disorder? This isnt right, can anyone tell me if somethin is wrong???

Is there a particular baby that you have this reaction to? Or is it just whenever there's a baby crying, like if it some random baby crying in a store you would still feel that way?
If it's the latter, I can't really blame you. It's annoying. Obviously the point of a baby crying is to get your attention, annoy you so you will be motivated to fix what's wrong, although what you describe seems a little extreme. Maybe try working out why you feel that? I don't think it's a disorder so much as some sort of stigma, perhaps. Sorry I can't be of much more help than that. :/
replied...My younger siblings. its constant crying that makes me mad. i can ignore it for a little bit, then I tell them to stop, but if they dont it gets on my nerves. Annoying is the right word, crying is one sound i cant stand. I feel it is extreme, which is why i posted this... I'm worried i'll get too mad one of these days. Thanks for your help though.

if its not a health disorder or something like that, then what is making me so mad? I'm extremely curious now....

It just seems like a very odd and specific disorder to me...do you have the ability to go to some sort of therapist? Or maybe just talk to your regular doctor? A therapist-type person might be able to help you figure out what makes you feel that way, certainly they could do it better than I can.
So, is it just your sibs, or is it whenever something like this happens when you're around, no matter who it is? It will probably help you work it out to know...

You don't have to answer if you don't want to but were you ever abused or anything like that? I know that abuse and traumatic events can trigger stuff like that.
God bless,

The simplest answer is often the right one. Maybe you just really, really do not like crying babies? Or babies in general?

My dad left when I was eight, and my brothers are mean to me. The answer may be yes, cause someone, who was a lot older, made me do something, but I won't say what. Yet, I dont remember when and i cant remember what happened that day for myself.

I swear i love my siblings (even if they are annoying) and as for crying- it doesnt sound peaceful to me. I never got mad before at my brothers... it started with my sister...
