And the much more important follow up; who's sneezing wrong and needs to stop?

Im a maximum force sneezer (though I always take care to never spray or do it next to someone), anything less 1 hurts like hell if I try to supress it and 2 feels unsatisfying in a way I just can't accept

Stifle Sneezers are the worst. its not that I actually dislike the noise or have issues with them, I just get sympathetic dissatisfaction and start imagining the sensation of when I stifle a sneeze and :why don't we have any shudder emotes: it almost makes me want to make myself sneeze just to get rid of the feeling

    I'm good at stifling sneezes, but that's mostly because I hate making noise. I sneeze into my shirt if I'm not wearing a mask. I guess normal for me is sneezing like a cough where I don't activate my vocal cords.

    I hate it when people sneeze and get vocal. Force is fine, but I don't think shouting is necessary

    I've always been a stifle sneezer, except if I'm already in a bathroom or secluded area.

    The way you talk makes it sound like you don't uphold your volcel pledge.

    I'm a loud and violent sneezer to the point I've had to stop sneezing through my nose or else I'd risk blowing out my ear drums from the overpressurization. I try not to active my vocal cords while I'm sneezing too but it's still loud as shit.

    Every time I've sneeze in public I've made people jump from being startled by me sneezing.

    The Communists disdain to conceal their views and sneezes. They openly declare that their ends can be attained only by the forcible clearing of all existing nasal cavities. Let the bystanders tremble at a Communistic sneeze. The noses have nothing to lose but their snort. They have air to win.

      Fun fact, the communistic sneeze technique is also how Sputnik was launched into space: every worker in the USSR sneezed into those pneumatic tubes at once, thrusting the rocket into space!

    Just 2 days ago I achieved the level of "dad sneezer" and caused a localized earthquake under the foundation of our house with the force from it.

    My sinuses are fucked and I sneeze no less than six times in a row every time, it's the loudest thing you've ever heard and everyone hates me, no one says bless you anymore they just roll their eyes and I feel like I have to apologize for my hideous internal deformity

      I had a friend who would never sneeze, I lived with him for years and I never heard him sneeze, then he got a cold and would sneeze 7 times in a row every hour or so

    I stifle mine because I produce a lot of saliva and tend to spray like a fire hose if I cut loose.

    I'm also a champion at gleeking.
