Hey everyone, myself and family are stuck in lockdown and I've been trying to think of questions to post in the forums as a way of keeping myself occupied and sane.
Here we go, this is for both the women and men of lpsg.
All my life I've always burped a lot, I mean pretty excessively. They're always loud big belches, bigger than you'd expect to hear from a guy never mind a woman and mostly involuntary. Over the years I've spoken to doctors about it, some think I might suffer from meganblaze syndrome, others suggest it may be due to the way I drink, what I drink, how I eat, because I'm a heavy smoker, because I chew gum etc. Other doctors have suggested it may be a combination of meganblaze and everything else. Whichever they've all said it's most likely that the route is the way my throat works and it takes in a lot of air and medically there's nothing really to worry about so this isn't a question looking for a solution, it seems that I'm stuck with it and that's that.
My question is more about offending people as I burp or belch frequently and wherever I am, trying to hold them in just makes it worse when they do come out.
I'm pretty thick skinned so it doesn't particularly worry me but it certainly appears to offend other people, I understand that people won't automatically realise I can't help it but even so when I've gone to the trouble of trying to explain myself when I've had the opportunity people still appear to think it's deliberate or something. Even some of my closest girlfriends feel embarrassed when we're out together which I do understand but again makes me feel awkward, so really I guess my question is kinda How would you feel or react if you were either in my company or happened to be at a restaurant, bar or anywhere really and heard me burping? Would you automatically be offended, would you stop to think there may be more to it and I actually can't help it? Or maybe you'd just find it amusing? I'm just interested to see a more general opinion from my friends here if that's ok X
