Is it normal that yelling scares me?

When people yell in anger or frustration, it scares me very badly, even when they're not yelling at me. I get scared that they'll hurt me. Is it normal that when people yell, it makes me want to cry and hide?

  • Me too. And long time afterwards I'm still nervous about talking to them. Even though they have calmed down meanwhile.

    • I have the same problem! And I think like if they yell that easily he might hurt me again (not by words but by sounds) and even if they don't mean to hurt me.

  • I hate it when people raise their voices too, because it reminds me of my father, who would lose his temper with me all the time over nothing.

  • I've been told I start to smile while i'm yelling, but I love, love, love confrontation. I love seeing others involved in it, and love being involved in it.

  • I never did to well with yelling either, but it gets better, eventually you just get irritated and ignore it.
