I think there is something bigger going on here. I'm sorry that people are calling you disgusting; flushing is something you are not used to doing by yourself. I noticed that you said you don't like the sound.
Are there other sounds you don't like? I would speak with a school counselor, and see what kind of referals they can give you on campus. It doesn't mean there's anything horribly wrong with you, but talking to someone might help make adjusting to college life easier.
Its a big change from home schooling! Something like cognitive behavioral therapy might help with the noise and action of flushing the toilet. Did just thinking about flushing it to write this post make you cringe?
If the answer is yes, this may be a good option for you to know about and consider. Best of luck to you.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
