I have the worst trigger meltdown ever. No one can top this one.

[Tony Ramirez]

Really no one hear can top this one as I met no one anywhere on this planet with billions of people with this issue. I was diagnostic with Asperger's when I was about 19 in college after I dropped out.

Anyway backstory when I was a kid I felt different not to get into my life story here but my meltdown trigger is hearing/seeing swearing yes that bad. Well really the F-Word is the only word that triggers a meltdown. Although I don't like the other swear words, S-word I hear it at home it just irritates me. Other swear words again just irritates but the horrible F-Word if I hear it or see more than one I can go into a major meltdown.

Since it is everywhere and I mean everywhere not only do I have this stupid AS but I can't even hear strangers talk and have to use a word profanity filter online and on my phone. When I am forced to go out, therapist, doctors sometimes store I wear in ear headphones and listen to music "at moderate volume" long as the earbuds isolate the sound so I don't hear anyone.

However since taking Prozac 40mg (might increase it soon) after trying many horrible medicines I have been better however I have very little exposure to the F-Word since I don't go out and when I do I wear headphones. So for me I would like to go back to the Church which I liked "had friends lost them" same old but that's another story but I am afraid of my trigger meltdown.

Good news had no real meltdown since taking Prozac for about three years. So I know all you have issues but try living with that one no wonder I get depressed and sleep all day.

Yes, this specific word and others like it are everywhere and hard to avoid - it's part of daily speech for most people and I don't think you can avoid it except for to avoid sites or shows with adult content. Here, it is censored and you won't find this - or if you do, it will be written with ** to be implied but not directly spoken.

Why would you want the worst trigger?

I don't like swearing either. As far as the 'if I hear it one more time' thing goes. We had to go to Disneyworld AGAIN for the national cheer/dance competition my girls were in. Our rooms were even inside the park. A few times I had to get out of the area and go somewhere else - if I had seen one more Mickey or Donald I was going to scream.

This is great for the web otherwise I would not go online except to come here I even donated $5

I mean I have the worst trigger. Sometimes I go into a mini meltdown with annoying commercials come on TV but otherwise or if I get stressed trying to figure something out on the computer "what always helps is taking a break then I figure it out" but the really bad word I need massive control.

 

[tducey]

I swear from time to time, myself, but I do get uncomfortable when someone swears to much around me.

 

[Fino]

I've never liked swearing either, and I'm nearly incapable of doing it. Do you have any idea why it's so bad for you?

I hate walking the streets these days. Even walking to my front door, school kids were shouting in a group the F-Word repeatedly in one sentence just because I was the only one around their presence. (Not to me directly) They only do it to show off and they think it’s cool and an acceptable way to be. If I wasn’t around they wouldn’t of been swearing. Obviously, I didn’t look their direction and it disgusts me. It is literally everywhere you go.

I'll join the "doesnt like swearing" club as well.

Always found it mildly annoying. I mean, if someone does it as a sort of automatic reaction to something like, say, banging their elbow on a door, I can understand... sometimes it just pops out, right?

But SO MANY people do it just because it.... makes them fit in more? I dont understand how dropping F-bombs every 2 seconds makes one more likable, but that seems to be what people have decided on.

Me, on the other hand, I usually just let out long strings of gibberish in anger and then maybe kick something. You're more likely to hear a sudden "DGOIAIEHRHOAH!!!" followed by a loud THUD, rather than a traditional swear word. Usually it translates to "Windows is doing things again", basically. That's usually what sets me off.

Or I'll just use the word "bloody" alot because I read way too many Discworld books and seem to assimilate speech patterns that I see in books if I read them enough. Not on purpose, mind you. Certain family members think it's hilarious.

"Dang it peace of crap crashed again."
That's all the swearing I do.

 

[Nervous Rex]

I can’t stand profanity either. It doesn’t send me into a meltdown, but if I hear too much profanity, it will be the only thing in my head when I am trying to clear my mind and go to sleep at night.

Same for anything too explicit, violent, or shocking - the moment I clear my mind of my other concerns, anything shocking comes forward and demands to be processed.

When I first started going on the internet I had to learn to block out all the swearing just so I wouldn't go insane. But sometimes I feel like I need to wash my ears out. How can these people use their mouths to kiss their mother?

Well, they dont, really.

They're too busy trying to fit more f-bombs in there.

It's a wonder they can even breathe.

 

[Fino]

Where on the internet is a lot of cursing? I only go here and facebook.

Do many people really kiss their mother or is that just an expression?

If you really dont know, consider yourself lucky.

The internet as a whole is... a dirty place. No... "dirty" isnt the right word. I probably cant say the right words here.

I tell ya, properly peaceful sites like this seem more and more rare as time goes on. They're like little shiny boats floating on a sea of cat turds.

As a teenager, I went on a debate forum, the people there were also amazing, and that sums up my internet life, so I guess I am lucky! Thank you!

 

[Southern Discomfort]

Ah, then you and I would not be compatible as friends!

I have coprolalia and copropraxia as part of my Tourette's; I swear a fair bit. Nothing I can do about it. Most of the time though I just bark and howl.

 

[Mary Terry]

I think vulgar swearing is a substitute for lack of vocabulary. If someone has to include the F-bomb in every sentence, then they need to expand their vocabulary to include acceptable words that accurately describe their thoughts. Some inarticulate people use the F-word as a verb, a noun, an adjective, and an adverb, all in the same sentence.

 

[WildCat]

I don't have a problem with it being both a user and receiver of profanity. My problem lies with the few people who don't understand the concept of self-control, knowing when it's safe to cut loose and when it's not safe to do so.

This forum is an example of one such place and I think I'm doing a fine job here.
