Are you the type who screams easily?

No I am not.
I rarely scream and cannot remember when I last did -even in severe pain I would not scream.

I also do not scream at people as hate being screamed at myself.

There are screams and 'screams'.....I would scream if I saw a huge spider right near me or something else frightened me. However, if you mean scream in anger....no, I have learnt it is best to try and keep calm when someone is trying to provoke you in anger...or just agree with them or remove yourself from the situation...

Not at all. I try not to raise my voice especially to my children and my spouse. I a work setting I will raise my voice but not scream.

Only in pain, and then it's usually a single curse word, then I do the Peter Griffin inhale through clenched teeth. I am rarely angry enough to yell at someone, it's happened, but it's very seldom.

I do not scream very easily at all.It is such a total loss of self control,and I believe,self-respect. Just lately I have been in the uncomfortable position of hearing my neighbour screaming at her son every single day before she goes to work. This is a dreadful way for ANY one to start a new day,let alone a poor 11 year old kid! They say you learn what you live with,so what chance does this boy have when this is what he is subjected to each day? I only scream if I am in the most horrendous pain after a fall or similar,and even then it is basically instantaneous.

No I am not.
Screaming in my day was only done by people in deep deep trouble....it was not something that one could do....
Only time I do really scream, is in my dreams...and that happens from time to time.

That must be scary for your son, jonaj. I've heard of talking and singing in one's sleep, but never screaming. Though it does make sense.

Yes my son does become concerned....but also a great help :) I'm blessed.

Not really,no

No I am not the type to scream easily at things

by AJ

Firstly, her glasses are freaking me out. Secondly, no. I am not the type to scream easily. I don't like raising my voice and will only yell if I am exceedingly annoyed.

by Vee

No, I don't 'scream easily at anything' at all.
I do scream if I get a fright, though, as would anyone. And it's usually just the one 'ear piercing'
scream! That's enough!

I am. I find it very cathartic to have a good scream and release all that tension and negative energy.

Was reading an I/V with a Policeman, & he said he goes to a local NP, close to a cliff edge, & just screams & screams, to let the tension from his job out of his system! 'Sounds' like a good idea!

Not at all, and I find it really jarring to be around people who screech and scream for no reason at all.
When I was raised to scream was a sign that you were in trouble and needed help.

So I tend to reserve screaming for life threatening situations. I am happy to report that the need for scream has been so long ago I can't remember.

No!

No, I don't scream at all, even when startled or frightened. Probably just a sharp intake of breath. Don't see the point!
