Simply ignore such rude, crude and shallow people!  Do not allow them to embarrass or harass you; their complaint is their problem, not yours.  Frankly, such people have far too much time on their hands and are too d*a*m lazy to find something constructive to do, so they get their cheap, tawdry, tasteless little thrills by trying to bug others.  Next time one of them complains, look 'em right in the eye and say "Yeah? Deal with it!" and then just ignore them.

I do just for the simple reson that I can't stand silence. another alternative is using a fan. it will make just enough noise to break the silence. Good luck

Let your friends know that you expect them to respect your space. If it happens again wake them up and say go sleep in your own room, and tell them they are not very respectful.

confused, that is a great name for you, Why are you asking medical questions on Yahoo Answers, if you are having problems breathing then go to the doctor and have him/her check you out, this is not something to fool around with especially if you or someone close to you is a smoker.\n\nDO NOT RELY ON ANSWERS FROM THIS FORUM ON HOW TO CURE OR DIAGNOSE YOUR PROBLEM AS THE WAY TO GO.  see a doctor.

just try to remain calm and stay away from it as much as possible, if certain people are doing things that you find frustrating tell them about it, they may not know and it may do some good to get how you feel about it out in the open so that they can correct what is frustrating you so much...

Ohh....  So many things annoy that pants off me.  Lets see... When people say "mines is"- its so redundant.  Or people that seem to be only able to talk while swearing and are limited to two topics- drugs and sex (involving them).  When people don't speak clearly or loud enough for you to hear them...when people stop right in front of a door....When people are mean just 'cause you know something, or when they're asking everyone in sight something but totally ignoring you as you answer...Oh so many things.  When you're in a jammed parking lot behind someone who has to have that spot and the people who are getting out of it are taking FOREVER!!  Stuff like that.

People can get used to their own smell and not realize that it's offensive to others.  So chances are that the "Something smells in here. Can you smell it too?" approach isn't going to work.  If they knew that they smelled they would (hopefull) do something about it.\n\nIn some cases, when someone doesn't just smell dank but is truly rancid I think it's a passive aggressive maneuver on their part. If the stench is that bad, others who are close to him/her must have mentioned it and the person is choosing to ignore their suggestion/request/plea and is therefore being passive aggressive.\n\nThe easiest way is to enlist a child to inform them of their problem. Kids are brutally honest and people seem to handle their criticism better than an adult's. One morning I hadn't brushed my teeth yet, and my wife's young cousin was sitting next to me on the couch, and I said something to her at close quarters and she scrunched up her face and said "Pew! Your breath stinks!" I laughed, apologized, and went to brush my teeth w/o any hurt feelings.  \n\nIf that isn't an option, the best way is to be direct, but not everyone can be that direct. Although if you can, I would suggest -not- being extremely apologetic, and don't mention that everyone has noticed it, and that it's been going on forever. Best case you say something as soon as possible because to me the real awkwardness comes when the person realizes s/he's been gagging people for weeks or months without realizing. Even if it's a lie you might say that you just noticed it, that way you avoid the "OMG how long has this been going on?" shame.\n\nSo if it were me I would not want, "You're a great person, and we respect you, and [...5 more minutes of buttering up...] but you have an odor problem, and we've all been suffering, and we've been trying to decide how to tell you for the last 6 months." Instead I'd rather get, "Hey, you probably don't realise it but you have a real odor thing going on and it would really help if you could try something different in your routine. I just thought you might want to know, no big deal."\n\nBe direct, be straight, be as concise as you can without sounding like a bastard. Most people try to add as much verbal padding as possible when they are trying to tell someone something that's bad news, embarrassing, etc. Just cut to the chase and get to the point, make the moment only as long as it needs to be.

my friends don`t say the words but they show it everyday...Actions speak louder than words...though I need to be told..it`s more than enough

I do 15 minutes of deep breathing before speaking.  By that time I am very mellow.  \n\nIt helps to know your subject matter and watch for receptive eyes you can make contact with and talk to one person.  Don't overwhelm yourself with the number of people listening.  \n\nThis is something you CAN do and you can even have fun with it--eventually.   Best of lick to you!

i know what are you making through, i hate it too when my neighbors make loud noise at night , making a party all night long, and sleeping over the day over,... you have many solutions, first of all, find some people in your building who does not like this noisy thing too, ask them to make a list or something and go to the person who is in charge of the building, you can show him this list and he should make a conversation with the noisy neighbors, or you can do it very comfortable for you by using ear pads or headphones and play on your CD player or radio some music which helps to make you feel peaceful with yourself at night, ... there are in the market a lot of Cd's for relaxation , nature sounds and so on, so you can not hear the noisy neighbors at all, or use some ear pads, that people wear in factories to protect themselves of hearing loud noises...

If they are talking that bad I wouldn't want to talk to them. Just walk away, because if you stay and listen they will think you like to hear that junk. Just excuss yourself and go do something else.  If they say any thing just say you don't care for the way they are talking, there is no need for it.  If you stay and listen to it they don't have any respect for you or your friends. Even if your friends stay I would leave.

You can either move or buy some earplugs.\nYou are probably just jealous because it isnt you hanky panky-ing....lol !

Keep on ignoring it. Dont let people see that them talking about it gets a reaction out of you, coz thats what they want. If they get no reaction, they get bored and shut up.

just ignore them, those people are trying to make ur self esteem down, have confidence in urself. and don't allow anyone to degrade you.\nIf you had to answer then tell them:  Yes I am mad because I allowed myself to talk to someone silly and  shallow like you.

Honestly, just ignore them. Tell yourself.. "Who cares", smile, and walk away. If you get upset by what they say, its their gain cos thats what they want. The key is not to take what they say seriously, even tho' it may be a major OUCH phrase they use. Just think of it as (the lamest and unfunniest) joke ever, and move on. :)

Does he have a hearing loss ? I have been cussed out for talking loud by co-workers. And when they asked if I was deaf, I'd tell them no, but I do have a hearing problem.\n It is possible, myself, I have to be near people to hear(understand) them. And I used to lock eyes with people, this would help me to focus on them so I could listen better, but most people do not like that.\n If he does have a hearing problem, l am sure he would like to know when he is talking loud. PArt of the talking loud part would be to hear yourself talking so you can speak clearly. Otherwise you mumble and then ...............\n Wouldn't hurt to ask him. If he does, ask if he'd mind if you tell him when he starts talking loud.
