Guys, I need help. I'm starting to think my neighbours are attacking me by their household noise. Ordinarily, I'm not so much affected because I know it's just ordinary sounds but as of late, everytime I make a sound in my home, I'm hearing another sound just after. Whether it's a spoon dropping on a plate or a cupboard slamming. I dont live in the apartment complex like they do but I do have a house next to the apartment. This has been happening for just over a month. I always get the feeling that they are trying to get the message across that I'm being too loud but I live in my own place and i dont do it on purpose. However, because they are making these reactive sounds (which never happened before since I'm here for the past three years) this is why I feel attacked and because I feel attacked, i feel angry and when I'm angry I'm aggressive. Guys, I've been lashing out by being even more noisy like dropping spoons on plates and banging basins, pots and pans while cooking. I was never so rowdy in the kitchen. I often think that if I was such a disturbance, they could have asked and I would have tried to be quieter. I never meant to disturb others because I'm in my own home and they live on the other side. A little christian advice would be appreciated. I hate being such a turd when I'm thinking they are attacking me. My bf says that it's all in my head and I take it personal when I hear the reactive sounds, which I do. Sometimes, they stomp the ground and slam cupboards during the day and late at night and then I get [bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse][bless and do not curse]ed and in the morning the cycle starts all over again because I wake up angry, try to stifle the anger and vent with making noise all over again. Can someone with experience on these issues help? I hate being angry all the time and I hate venting the way I do because I know its hurting others intentionally. I just hate being the victim all the time.
