the sound of people chewing gum loudly really makes me want to physically hurt them
I spent years fighting with my brother over the sound of his chewing. I had screaming fits when my own damn watch ticked too loudly (I don’t wear a watch any more because of this, actually). There was grinding teeth involved when my dad swallowed.
Last year there was a news report done on misophonia. After years of fighting and trying to explain that no, I don’t know why it pisses me off it just does and will you FUCKING STOP IT ALREADY, my family suddenly understood that I wasn’t just being a brat/bitch.
It’s amazing how much of a difference there is because we know at least part of what’s going on in my head to make me react with rage.
