I'm wondering if anyone else has similar issues as me, and what they do to deal with it.
In my case, it is a particular song that everyone loves and plays out loud(including stores, tv, radio, etc), and I absolutely can't stand it. The "Let it go" song from Frozen. It makes me physically feel really frustrated and crazy, like I get a heavy feeling in my head just from how annoyed I am at having to listen to that annoying song every-single-day, and feel like I will snap if it goes on.
Not only is this popular among general public, but my brother... he plays it multiple times every day, on really loud volume. I have been woken up by it many times, and he's been playing it non-stop ever since the movie first came out. He still plays it religiously, and it woke me up just last midnight. I seriously cannot sleep unless he is either out of the house or sleeping(usually after 2am). I can never have a normal sleep-schedule and have had to pull all-nighters because I can't sleep with the loud Disney music.
Wearing earplugs doesn't work, and the only thing I can do is play my own music really loud to mask his song, which I don't like to do because I can't fall asleep with loud music, and have a bit of a phobia against loudness. I have to ignore that fear and put it pretty loud to drown out the Disney music, and for long periods of time, until he's out the house or decides to watch loud movies(usually Disney), loud talk shows that sound muffled from my room, or play shooter video games with loud-ass explosions that vibrate the house. All of the noise he makes is louder than the planes that pass by, and we live near an airport. I can't understand how he's not deaf already, or how neighbors haven't complained yet.
So, clearly most of my insanity is on my brother's actions, but it really doesn't help when everyone else also loves it to death and feels the need to sing/play it in public.
Even my friends love it, and I have had to tell them seriously that I can't stand it and that I'm already being driven crazy enough at home. At least they respect that, but it's not like I can't just go and tell everyone in the world that and expect them to do the same, especially when you have people that simply refuse to lower their volume or play something else.
I hate most modern radio music as well, and that plays a lot too, but I am not driven crazy at all from hearing those as much as that Frozen song... So yeah, this is pretty bad. I feel like I've lost all hope of becoming sane ever again, as long as this song exists.
It's not something I can just "calm down" about, and I feel like I'm one of those victims of music torture. If you've ever heard of governments torturing spies/enemies with repetition of music, that is what I mean. I think the only way for me would be to move out into my own home, which I do plan to do eventually anyway, but who knows how long that will take.
:shoe:
So, does anyone have or have had similar problems? I feel like I may be the only one who's this crazy, though, and I wouldn't be surprised if people found it silly, since a few of my friends can't do anything but laugh at me for it...
