Has anyone ever yelled at you?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was working at a student newspaper, I twice got verbally abused by a member of the staff. I think I could have avoided the whole situation, which was pretty traumatic, by telling the staff I had autism which I didn't. Has anyone else had such an experience??

I was working in a warehouse-I got yelled at a couple of times, rather there were a couple of people who like to yell.

One of the people yelled at me to cover up a mistake that they had made and gotten yelled at for.

To much imput!

I was yelled at all through childhood-
I would look into my blind eye to escape the ugly yelling faces.
The lack of desired reaction really pissed them off.
Then I was yelled at AND beaten.

(....awe c'mon you yelling people, what will make you stop, if I learn to cry??? why didn't you just say so....)

I told my new boss, that he hurt my feelings and I went home and cried.
That's all he needed to hear to put me on his 'kid gloves' list.
strange world...

I understand NT's have certain things they do...
One of them, unfortunately, in addition to crying to show emotional pain, is engaging in yelling to reach a conclusion. Not engaging in yelling results in guilt on the part of the silent party. (I am not a doctor this is my personal opinion) I could for instance say to someone that I went home and cried-as a way of telling them that what they did hurt my feelings. But I could not engage in yelling unless it were to come to blows.....and I save blows for actual self defence. Though one of these days I might risk my non violent record and disgust at violence and just haul off and pop somebody who is targeting me like that.

I quit, by the way, from the place where I got yelled at. I always will leave the place where I get yelled at. It's all that I got-this peace that I keep guarded in my head.

Are you o.k. now?

I immediately cover my ears as there hypersensitive. If someone shouts something but I cant understand it, I get confused. It's not nice to be yelled at IMHO.

I got yelled at at the department of motor vehicles. Here's how it went. I was helping a friend get his driver's license. On the day of the driver's test I had to go in with him because he was using my car. I had to take the vehicle registration in to prove it's my car. When I showed the woman my registration, she yelled at me because it was expired. I told her the correct one was in the car and that I had just grabbed the wrong one. I ran out to the car to get it and when I came back in she was no where in sight. By then I was very upset about being yelled at and I was disoriented. I didn't know where to sit until she came back so I just sat down anywhere. When she finally did show up she yelled at me again very loudly for being seated at the wrong place. The good news is my friend got his drivers license.

um ive been yelled at by my vocational rehabilitation caseworker before, actually alot of times. we butt heads often and i have decided not to return.

I've been yelled at, many times by many people. I still get yelled at, by my Parents, and I'm almost 32. The last time that my Dad yelled at me, I've told him that I can't do anything right and that I'm giving up on Life. My Mom yelled at me, Last Thursday, because I was having something that NT People like to call a "Pity Party". After she left the house, I've slamed the Sliding Glass Door that leads out of my Bedroom, to the Back Patio open, and I've managed to take a chunk of Skin out of my Left Knuckle. Yelling does not turn me into an obedient little Autistic. It causes me to become rebellious, hence the name, CockneyRebel.

Many, many times.

Is this supposed to be a rhetorical question? Of course I got yelled at, many times in my life.

I got yelled at the other day by intimate family members. I used to have alot of trouble keeping my voice controlled in reaction to this but I have much more control now. I continue to attempt think, and speak based on reason as best I can. I think this causes anger though in itself. Eventually I broke and mocked by detractors screaming, and cursing as shallow and pathetic.

"Stop playing your games!" was yelled repeatedly. Also: "We know what we are about!" I was accused of "making of lies." In the past the focus has been on my "arrogance." When people yell they yell the same phrases, or at best phrases with the same meaning again and again. There is no deepness to any of it. One of my father's favorite angry sayings is: "This (house) is a dictatorship, not a democracy!"

Does your father mean that in, he disagrees with the idea that the house is a dictatorship not a democracy? Or that he agrees with the idea that the house is a dictatorship not a democracy?

Exactly! I've never heard anyone in my family yell anything with real meaning. My parents use the same words every time they fight.

My mother yells at me a lot, and invariably she says I started yelling at her first; I try to explain that I don't always realize that I'm yelling, but she insists, and once it gets started it's almost impossible to get either of us to calm down.

In high school I got into a lot of fights with teachers, secretaries, and librarians, for things like asking for clarification of the rules, or for not hearing a direction the first time it was said. (I might have CAPD, which means occastionally I go temporarily deaf and can't understand what people say.) When I took the SAT, I got into an argument with the person giving the test because when I raised my hand with a question she assumed she knew what I was going to ask; needless to say, she was wrong, and she yelled at me for telling her so. I literally had to beg her to come back and answer the question I really wanted to ask; I would have just left the room, but I had to take the test.

I'm really glad I'm out of high school, but I'm afraid there'll be more incidents like that. Why are people so particular?

In the pass and sometimes now my boyfriend will not hear what i said cause i have a soft voice and tend to swallow my words. He will go What? and i will reply in a much louder voice and then he will yell at me because he says that i yelled at him first. I've been trying to explain to him i have trouble modulating my voice and i'm not yelling at him, but just trying to speak louder so he can hear me

I get yelled at on a regular basis.

Hasn't everyone been yelled at a few times. I have never been yelled at by anything really big before, like a whale, for instance.

I would think, knowing what modern science has learned about some whale's subsonic* vocal capabilities, along with the increased efficiency and speed at which sounds are conducted through water, that having an irritated whale ten feet away from you belting out his anger at an explosively high sound pressure level could be fatal or at least the cause of severe internal injuries.

Is this thread for real? ... or is there a punchline coming?


EDIT:
Sorry but My Brain wasn't working very well at the time of this post. A more proper word to have used instead of 'subsonic', which refers to speed, is 'subaudible' or 'infrasonic', which is the meaning I was trying to convey. Some species of whales are capable of vocalizations which are in the 5 Hertz to 18 Hertz range (a full octave or two below normal human hearing ability) and powerful enough to communicate with others of their species thousands of miles away from each other. I wouldn't want one to get p155ed at me and start yelling.

Crap. I'm thinking of that Star Trek movie now. The one with the whales.

I was wondering the same thing. Everyone gets yelled at now and then. People have bad days and take it out on the closest target. This world is full of @$$holes who take pleasure in making other people feel crummy. From an Aspie standpoint though, I've managed to confound and irritate many a parent and superior.

He is stressing to me that the house is a dictatorship, not a democracy. It supposed to be a metaphor, obviously. (ie: it is my house I and can run it like I want). The wording is "strong" (the use of the word "dictatorship" suggests all powerful), and I'm supposed to be easily overcome possibly. I don't like to talk in metaphors if I can avoid it, and it drives me crazy when people repeat the same/similar metaphors again and again and refuse to even try to speak with any real depth.
