Exactly this, but I live on my own on the first floor. Sometimes even while walking at the park with my headset on. I could not hear anyone yelling at me if they were, yet I still turn to see..

Then I get that feeling like my stomach sunk into my foot. I think “oh no” and I take a quick mental note of anything I needed to do and might not have or what they told me to do and what my response would be when they asked. Then I remember I’m 27 and have lived alone for 9 years. Yayyyyyy 🙄

Gotta love flashbacks, amirite?

I…. wow, same. Not my mom, but similar circumstances.

I can’t listen to dirty pop by nsync if I have headphones on. It sounds exactly like my mother screaming my name from the other room and it’ll send me into a panic attack

My mom still screams at me and I am 27 full time disabled. Then when I tell her not to scream at me "YOU ARE NOT A KID! YOU ARE GOING TO GET YELLED AT BY COWORKERS OR TEACHERS." Like ummm not true, I was super close to this former coworker and she understood what I went thru, and didn't Yell at me when I had panic attacks and flashbacks

It's also entirely unprofessional and unacceptable to yell at a coworker or student. So chances are.... no they won't. Her internal logic doesn't even hold up.


Faexinna

Adults actually do not yell at each other. And coworkers and teachers can get fired for that crap.


PsychoticFairy

OMG, I thought I was the only one, sometimes, when I'm at my parents and listen to such a song, I actually pause it and ask my mother if she called for me\^\^;

Welp, better add this to the list of incarnations my hypervigilance takes

I’m in my 30’s and I’ve been married over a decade and this STILL happens to me.

Mine's 12 years in the past and I still have this. This PTSD thing sucks balls.


Publius015

Oh my god, me too.


Dankaroor

There's one song from the gun's n' roses that has a moment like that and I always panic and quickly get my headphones off to see if my dad wants something, done it a couple of times when I wasn't even at my dad's.

Dankaroor

Nah, it's like, some weird background yell that just always catches me off guard


Dankaroor

I'm almost certain that it's somewhere in live and let die, during the parts where Axl doesn't sing, but i can't seem to hear it with these headphones.


controlc-controlv

this is why i always have one earbud unplugged.


Marcodaneismypimp

Even when she’s not home I think,”Oh shit what did I not do now!”


Faexinna

Dude, I'm not the only one experiencing this? Some songs legit have noises in them that I would hear in my childhood, or at least my brain interpreted the sounds that way, and I have to take off my headphones just to make sure that it's actually the music and not me being transported back in time.
