I had a ticking wall clock in my apartment that the previous person left there. Some nights it would just drive me completely crazy even from my bedroom with the door shut. Other times I would just sit there and enjoy listening to it... but it just distracted me from getting things done.

Hmm, a good topic question could be if sensitivities can change or transform to one other. Until my late teens I'd found pleasure in clock ticking, in fact, I had a mechanical cuckoo-clock on the wall of my room in which I paced a lamp behind the bird and enjoyed seeing it's projected waggling silhouette on the opposite wall every time I awakened to it's sound at nights. It's ticking was no problem to me then. Now I can hardly stand any kind of ticking in the room in which I sleep or have a nap. When I was younger, I had much more issues with foods and clothes, and less with sounds and smells.

I always stim when I hear a ticking clock.
Usually I sway from side to side in time with it.

All sounds are vibrations.

Does anyone else feel comforted by the sound of a clock ticking? I've been fascinated by the sound of clocks all my life. I find them relaxing.

Am I weird?


you are here, you are weird. as for the clocks, now that i think of it the ticking does seem incredibly comforting. Also now that i think of it, i think i am very suggestible, of susceptible to suggestions . . . In that for example if i think deeper i am not as much attached to clocks, as in my imagination it seems i am at the initial suggestion. Sometimes tick tocking has rather annoyed me. But i do feel comfort from repetitive noise. I think fans are more comforting to me generally
