I don't wan to be a Pikachu!

I had a very weird experience recently. it's all started when my i feel static charges with my earphone. All tis while i use earphone more than speaker. I stop using the ear phone i feel there is a static charges.
My aunt and my sis complain that i disturb then lo by using the speaker.. Ya right! They can on the tv speaker loud yet i cant turn on my pc speaker. There is this night, i only turn on the lowest volume of my speaker and they still complain. Swt"
So i assume is my wall socket problem, cos many people told me the earth wire might had spoiled. So i asked my uncle to fix it for me. My uncle tried but still couldn't solve the problem. The following day not only my earphone got static charges, my mouse and my keyboard oso got the same problem.
My friend still assured me that the culprit is either the wall socket or the extension. But i had try plugging in 3 different wall sockets and two extensions but i still experienced the same problem. Then he told if this is not the problem then it should be the power supply.
My hubby oso asked his friend they also say its the power supply. Since hubby know how to change the power supply, we replace a new power supply. After changing the power supply, i still feel the shock, although it is jus a mild shock but it is very uncomfortable.
I told my friend my problem, he crack his head and finally ask me to replace the new cable. I asked a second opinion from another friend, he told me he had the same problem before but after he replace the cable ( the one connected to teh power supply and socket) everything is back to normal. So i try using my cousin cable to plug on my pc but i still had the same problem...
Finally, i called my uncle friend a computer merchant. I told him my problem and told him what i had replaced. You know what he told me, he said maybe is my body that had the static charges. That time i tot he being ridiculous. But i start to agree with him when i feel static charges when using my cousin pc. My cousin had no problem when using his pc, i use his pc the day before i oso did not have this problem. I dunno its my mental problem or my body really had that much static charges. Not only pc, when i touch any grounded metal objects i can feel the charges as well. It is because i had an electric shock last few days that causes the static charges in my body to increase? i desperately wan to remove this static charges from my body, those who know any methods or tips please tell me. As i don't wan to be a pikachu!

You can try ground yourself by connecting to earth. The best way to do if you work in factory, there must have groundstrap. You just need to touch it and it will ground yourself.

Another traditional way is, go swimming because the swimming pool sure have ground when they put build their pool. Just step on the ground in 4 feet water wil ldo. This is try to reduce the charge from your body.

3th way is "kaki ayam" walk to the road with water. But not help much..

i get it recently too but only when i wear my shoes that has rubber soles. when i wear them, and touch my kids, i can feel some spark and it hurt my fingers a little. avoid wearing rubber sole shoes if you are wearing them for some days.

go barefoot more than wearing shoes. but not sure if it will help.
