Do you like to sneeze?

Post Reply New Topic

I despise sneezing so much I've learned how to not do it, mostly. I still get the tingling initially, followed by the squinting of the eyes and inhalation... but that's as far as I let it go. It takes immense concentration and willpower to stop it, and on such short notice usually... but I hate it, dread, loath sneezing. Hopefully I'll eventually learn to stop it as soon as I get the initial tingle.

I'm the captain of this ship, there'll be no mutiny on my watch.

No! I sneeze loudly and six times in a row and everyone stares and makes comments. And the sneezes are so hard they hurt.

And there was once I had a bad cold and all the coughing and sneezing I did pulled a muscle in the bladder/uterus kind of area. Not fun.

No poll option for this.

When I was younger, I loved it. It was almost like a short buzz.

These days, if I do sneeze, it's a long drawn out ordeal, during which it's hard to breath, and can last up to ten or fifteen minutes. NOT fun.

I hate the "On the Edge Sneeze", where your almost there but can't quite do it. I have to look at the sun to irritate my senses enough to trigger a good one! lol

No, I hate sneezing. It hurts my sinuses because I do have sinus issues.

Although it does sometimes make me feel a lot better.

I can't sneeze in public though. If I want to, it always goes back up as I'm about to do it, so I end up making a weird noise.

I dislike needing to sneeze in the first place.

I find it enjoyable most of the time unless I am sneezing with such frequency that I am unable to breathe or function.

did anyone notice the double poll options? i tried to fix it but when i went to edit the options were only single!

i hate sneezing. it makes my nose stuff up and often gives me a headache.

I don't mind sneezing....as other people have said, it can be good for clearing the sinuses, and it gives you a kind of head rush. However, I am sort of shy about sneezing in public or when there's other people around, since I tend to have sort of a loud sneeze...at least, it feels like a loud one to me. I call it a "Car-like sneeze."

In fact, for the longest time I had this bad habit of stifling my sneezes when I was around other people, but when I was told that could result in ear damage, I tried to stop. Now I'm okay with sneezing in public as long as there are lots of other people sneezing too (like during the cold, flu, or allergy seasons) or as long as no one makes a big deal out of it by turning their attention to me and going, "BLESS you!" One thing that can help when you don't want to sneeze is if you firmly massage your tongue against the roof of your mouth when you feel one coming. That always works for me.

I think I also liked sneezes when I was a little kid, too...I'd completely forgotten this until my aunt brought it up (she's always remembering cute, funny, or embarrassing things from when I was little) but she told me that when I was little, I used to do very dramatic fake sneezes all the time, and she even has it on a home video somewhere.

Not really. I hate how it irritates my nose at first, and when I do sneeze, I have to put up with other people saying "bless you". The sneezing gets worse when I either have allergies or have a cold.

I actually think I might have some kind of strange fixation/addiction to making myself sneeze. I feels good and tingly, not in a sexual way though.

One of these days my brains are going to come out when I sneeze. Maybe my eyeballs.

Absolutely not - it snaps me outta my daydreams
