I just CAN'T stand being screamed at in the face nor with a very loud voice. I will start crying without thinking. I don't even realize I'm crying until the cheeks start rolling down my cheeks. . It's just my body's automatic respond to screaming now. . And it's getting worst I believe, now I feel light headed , short of breath, I feel my heart pounding in my head, feel as if some one is sticking a needle on the side of my head, and I feel like my head is going to literally explode. When I cry , I usually lie down on my bed, before I would just break down, now I don't even know what it is. Now, I lie down, I get a headache from the screaming, my body feels numb, I feel so weak that I am left in one position for minutes. I try to move but I really just have no motivation.

My mom isn't really believing me or at least she doesn't seem to care.
'Cause the other day she was talking to me and she started raising her voice. And I asked her if she could lower it and she said "why?" . I told her why and she purposely raised her voice louder.

This happens when my mom or stepdad scream at me, no one else really does but I feel like if some one else did , my reaction would be crying . I've talked to my boyfriend about this issue.

Should I worry about this ? Is it normal ?

    How old are you? Because I hope you can soon get away from these abusive people.

    It's entirely normal for a sensitive person to cry if screamed at, especially if you can't get away from it. I'm really old and I still find it hard being yelled at, but now I yell back, even if I'm also crying at the same time.

    Can you get some help from a school counsellor or similar?

    Normal for many, you just have a very sensitive side, which is sought after by many. This makes your caring and special in so many ways!

    You should not have to put up with this abuse I dont know how old you are but this is another form of child abuse maybe you should call the police on them once this happens thell think twice about screaming at you in the future the reason you get light headed and feel dizzy is your Blood Pressure goes way up this could be Dangerous and it sounds like they dont care well God Bless and think about whst I said Love.

      What would the cops charge them with? That's a silly suggestion. Just because it's abusive and overbearing doesn't make it a police matter

    As someone who is nothing but nice to everyone, and watches everything I say especially hard so I don't rub anyone the wrong way, I get really sad when people get mad at me, even though I didn't do anything wrong.
    I also have "Avoidant Personality Disorder", which among other things, is characterized by extreme sensitivity to negative evaluation.

    Apparently, when we're born, the only two things we're innately scared of are falling and loud noises. I hate it if people scream/shout at me. And yeah, to follow on from what ScooterNyne says, people who do that are trying to get their point across but just in an aggressive and actually quite ineffective way. It makes you feel threatened which actually just upsets you and kind of makes you close off. Understandably so.

    I don't know how normal it is but it is certainly understandable. I cannot tolerate people who scream or yell at other people. It simply means they are idiots who have no valid reason for what they are saying and so they scream it to make it sound more valid. That's the delusion they give themselves.
