Any yelling makes me really jittery. When my husband and I first married, I would cry if he yelled or even if I thought he might be mad at me. I was ultra-sensitive. Strangers yelling would make me very nervous and I would leave immediately.

Now I still get nervous, but I have learned to talk myself down from running or crying. Sometimes I have to block out the incident and just talk to myself the whole time...so I go into a stare; which my husband finds quite frustrating, but at least he knows that if he wants my attention he needs to stop yelling.

Seriously, I never lift my voice.
