Hi,
I was hoping for some help in tracking down a rubric please. The symptom is feeling that they are not listened to, or are being ignored; not totally in a delusion sense but being very focussed on the listener and their attentiveness to the extent that they will stop speaking if they feel they do not have full attention.
I'm not sure why as I can't find the reference but I associate this with Mercury in my memory bank somewhere?
Any ideas/ thoughts much appreciated.
Dave

Hi Dave!

For purely personal reasons I would be very interested to hear replies on this.

I feel very strongly about this as well atm.

I will not talk unless I have the listeners full attention. Indeed I tell my children the same.

I feel for me it's to do with a growing self-respect. Also to do with preserving my precious energy levels!!!

Any answers???

I would also like to know what you find. The remedy mercury has suddenly become quite a viable one I hadn't considered before in a case I'm hard at work on--and this particular symptom (not being listened to)figures very prominently in the whole schema.

I looked at the delusion that others will think she is crazy (which brought us to calc carb--also, that she would lose her reason ) but nothing on the listening thing--though it is a real difficulty for the patient.

I would look at the many rubrics under:-
Delusion, he is alone.

Dear Dave,

Could it be sensitive to rudeness?
MIND: Sensitive, rudeness, to. Staph. and Nat Mur. are 3's. Calc. and Colch. are 2's.

dear friend
please look in Kent's and Boger repertory with little change in term you will find . thanks

Dr. Sinha, you must have a different Kent's...the only place listening appears in the repertory is in the sleep section--for a rubric about a person who falls asleep listening to conversation. Where did you find it, in Kent's or Boger's? And what was the rubric, please?

Here's a thought: there is a rubric for delusion, insulted, thinks he is: bell, cham, ign, kali-br, lac-c, lyss, nux-v pall, puls, tarent

if the patient is so insulted at the thought that others are not listening...

Divina

dave, Can you say what it is the person feels when they perceive they are not being totally listened to, apart from being ignored, eg., are they indignant? irritated? feel forsaken? do they take it as an insult? or a contradiction? a disobedience? insolence? do they have wounded honour? feel scorned?

Think of China too.
As Chrisg says, it depends on the WHY IT MATTERS a great deal, since all of us are not listened to most of the time, and just accept it as part of the human condition.

Or, Could it be the issue of "self respect".
I found a very Strange Rubric In Hamamelis
in Boericke MM.

It is = Wants "the respect due to me" shown.

This could actually apply where parents want their children to listen to them.

Any input?
