People saying ''sshhhh'' to you

Post Reply New Topic

I think my response would be more like "don't tell me to 'sshhh'!" instead.

It's very minimizing. Enough said.

When my husband has had more than about two drinks, he gets much louder. He doesn't notice and it doesn't seem to bother anybody else, but I HATE to hear him say anything when he's had something to drink. I get very angry just by the sound of his voice or his cough or his laugh. I used to tell him "Don't be so loud!" but it doesn't work. Now, I just stay in a bad mood when he's drinking anything. He's nice, he's in a really happy mood, but for some reason I just CANNOT STAND it!! !

I don't think he would hear me if I said "shhhhh" though.

I don't realize I am speaking loudly either. I had a stomach ache and told dad "Hey I need to buy some of those gas pills next time I go to the store." Dad said I shouldn't be talking about gas pills outloud. WHOOPS I guess. I also hate shhhh. I'm trying to talk! Also I talk and interrupt people as well. IMO I have to talk RIGHT THEN or I forget what I'm going to say!! !! !!

I hate it when family members shush me.

I'm a sshhher. People bug me and they need to be more quiet. I also sometimes hear things and need quiet to identify them so I don't get a panic attack wondering what that noise was. I don't shh people I don't know really well though. It's when people live with me and annoy me and they would sshhh me too if they want quiet for some reason.

I don't like it no, although it doesn't happen all that often as I'm not particularly vocal. I can't imagine many people like being silenced though.

I actually blurted out once: "b***h don't tell me to shush."
In class

It depends, like I am not too annoyed when people I watching the TV and I come in the room with a question and they say "shh!" just to hear what is on the TV, however, if I am emotional talking loudly and someone goes "shhhhhhh!" that's really annoying. I prefer "Could you please keep it down a little?" or something like that. It is worse when people put their finger to their lips. That really bothers me.

absolutely.

because it shows me they care more about how I'm saying something than what it is that I'm saying.

And take note: they never tell people who they actually want to listen to to do that.

I've even had people tell me "say it quietly". To me, that translates as "don't say it".

Style over substance is a big pet peeve of mine, and IMO a massive load.

I especially find it insulting coming from the very people who always preach to look for substance over style.

i dont get ssshhhed i get told to shut up. i tell others to shut up too but its because the noise irritates me not their opinion. i get told to shut it because of my opinion, usually by men and especially when talking politics which is sexist. usually by family members too just because they are the ones i argue with most.

I haven't been told to "shh" in a very long time. I'd get pretty upset if someone did, though--it's a very rude thing to do. It's really only warranted if someone else was being rude in the first place.
