Sneeze patterns?!

[CLR1313]

So I may be totally on my own here, and just bear in mind that I am autistic, but I find sneezing completely fascinating! How everyone has a different sounding sneeze, how some people always sneeze a certain amount of times, how some people “hold their sneeze in (I think it’s called stifling), some people have loud sneezes, some quiet. It just blows my mind. I find myself paying attention to the way people sneeze and there is just something that sparks my curiosity.

so all that being said - tell me about your sneezes please? Are you a one and done? Do you have one of those “dad” sneezes? Do you do quiet sneezes? Are you loud and proud? Is it always a certain amount? Do you find sneezing satisfying (I do!) or do you find it an inconvenience?

let me know!!

Me, personally, I usually always do three at a time! Quite loud (I can’t make them quieter), and very satisfying!!

It is a particular flavour or any crisps?! Maybe something in the ingredients?

Yes that’s the worst!!!!

I don’t like the hiccups - they hurt!! Would much rather sneeze than hiccup!

haha! I’m not trying to be weird but it’s something that I genuinely find interesting! Sneezes feel SO good!! And I just like hearing how different everyone’s sound etc

I have a lot of allergies and sneeze a lot. I hate it! I wish I wasn't so sneezy. It's normally just one or two at a time but I will occasionally have a fit where they just seem to keep going.

I have a friend who does these cute little "chew" sneezes but does like 15 in a row rapid fire.

Def the stronger flavours like s & v

I’m sorry you suffer! What allergies do you have? I’m lucky and have no allergies! I’d like to be sneezier!

ah that sounds cute! Lots of cute sneezes!

That’s interesting!

I hate sneezing. I have zero sneeze control, and dread potentially sneezing in public.

I also have a brain injury (cerebral palsy) and wonder if this is what makes it hard for me to control my sneezes. I would happily never sneeze again.

Always panic when I feel myself about to sneeze.

I hate perfomative sneezes same as yawns (usually men) I just sneeze quitely but with a normal "achoo" sound, my friend sneezes like a cat 😆

I love this thread @CLR1313!

My daughter is autistic and she is very interested and amused by our different sneezes 😁

I’m sorry you feel that way x

Hahaha yes I agree with the yawns! I’m not sure people can help their sneezes though!

Thank goodness I am not the only person!!!! I don’t know why I am like this but it’s something I’ve always taken notice of!

No you're right, it's involuntary I just co exist with loud people! But as someone upthread hiccups are THE WORST!

I hate hiccups!!! Would much rather sneeze than hiccup!

Oh my actual GOD seriously! I've had to do handstands up against my hall wall & try to drink water in an attempt to get rid of them @CLR1313 & don't get me started on when my son has them 😡

I luckily don’t get them too often thankfully!! But yes, when someone else has them, I want to throttle them!! Would much rather some had “the sneezes” than “the hiccups”

Yes sneezes end after a few it's not the same as the prolonged agony of having OR listening to hiccups

Me and my ds are like this, it drives my dh mad as we sneeze a lot when full 🤣
Dh never gives any indication that he’s about to sneeze and it gives me a fright every time he does it, especially when we are in the car 🙈

I find it so difficult to sneeze and it can sometimes take me 2 days before it finally comes out! I always have to look at the light or sunshine to make it happen but when I feel it coming if anyone near me makes a noise or I feel them looking at me then it goes away. When it finally happens it feels amazing and if I'm at home I let it out nice and loud 😂

I kinda wish I sneezed when I am full cos it would stop me over eating haha! I never realise when I’m full!

Oh wow!! 2 days!!

If you pinch your nose to try and stop a sneeze it increases the pressure and damage blood vessels (although I've never done this)

Oh gosh, I’ve never heard this before, sounds scary!
