Is it normal that i hate clapping my hands?

I hate clapping my hands. When I was a child, I hated it because it was so loud, sounded dry and it would hurt my hands. I almost always felt like covering up my ears when people did this. It still effects me in the same way. I hate being in situations where clapping is involved, it's unbearable! People used to get angry at me, because I didn't like to clap and they didn't believe that it hurt my hands. Now, I avoid those situations as much as I can. If I do clap, then I do it gently as quietly as I can. Does anyone else hate this?

    What do you do if you're happy and you know it?

        No hand-clapping for you. Or stamping of feet. Life can be so cruel.

    I hate - and hated - clapping too, for the exact same reasons!

    I once had my hands over my ears at a talent show in primary school because I couldn't stand the clapping and I got told off for it... Only years later that I realise why I did what I did.

    The only way I find it fractionally comfortable to do is if I cup my hands and clap them together like a cheerleader.

    Apparently, appaluse for deaf people just involves grinning and waving your hands like you're screwing and unscrewing a jar really quickly. [So I heard when I used to do St. John's Ambulance]

    I feel that way too! I'm not really sure what I hate about it, though.

    He has not been abducted, I think he is having a paychotic breakdown of some sort. Aliens do not exist and they do not go around the place abducting people to experiment on them. It is just humans. When something like that really happens. Humans wearing custom swimsuits and doing weird shit using the excuse of aliens,they can't use god as an excuse because there is evidence of their doings, to get away with crimes. Since it is not likely your brother stumbled into one of these guys, I'd go for the most reasonable explanation. He is tripping. Could have been taking some acid or something, or he is just coming down with schizophrenia. Or someone played some cruel prank on him, he could not find an explanation for,whatever he witnessed, so he created this delusion about aliens to give some sense to the whole thing. Rather than blaming thin air because whoever is responsible,made sure he would not get caught. So he overwritten the real memory with a made up tale about aliens. Which,seems to make perfect sense to him. This way, no investigations can be started to figure out what really happened to him, he does not even feel the need to shed light over it,because no matter what believing in something like that makes you feel like you are a part of this big thing and you are some sort of superhero choosen for whatever sort of divine purpose to carry out whatever insane mission. But really, it is just him, tripping away. And these people, making fun of him behind his back. He has not been abducted, I think he is having a paychotic breakdown of some sort.

    I like to swing my meat from side to side, slapping my thighs. You may try this as an option. Careful doing it in public though, some people are real prudes.
