Oh it does. My definition of a disorder is the same. I feel uncomfortable even just watching tv in my room. E.g. I've been watching the show Dexter with headphones because otherwise I feel uncomfortable. It's not even like I'm watching super kawaii moe time the anime now with 60% more girl noises. It's crazy cuz I live with people who don't care. I pay rent so it's not even like I'm in a "my roof my rules" situation either.
They were probably just joking. I doubt your parents had malicious intentions behind their making fun of you. Most likely just teasing :3 Not that that necessarily helps you feel any better.
I know, it's just harder than it sounds

I live in a fairly smallish two-bedroom house with my mom and her bf. They couldn't be nicer and have told me repeatedly that they don't mind any noise. My closest neighbors are far enough way not to be bothered. I am getting treatment. I think it's a mix if I can be arrogant for a second and call myself polite. But I'd say it's definitely more-so the low self-esteem than politeness, cuz I know most the time I'm not bothering anyone and it still bothers me. Thanks for the encouragement.
Thanks. Yeah I'm seeing my psychiatrist on Thursday anyway. Good time to bring it up. I can relate so much to movies having super quiet dialog then overly loud explosions so much it's not even funny.
Well I got electronic drums after having acoustic and I think they're still too loud. Which is absurd and I know I'm the only one who thinks so.
I'm as quiet as a mouse. Yeah, I need to work on it.
