Noisy eaters

[Delta Shell]

I do have misophonia, it's bad enough that I go into full on attack mode (internally) when people eat noisily around me. No-one would ever know because I don't react and I just manage it using music or i'll leave for a bit or just do some mental exercises, whatever. I've always had it and I have no idea why, there isn't a cure, I know i'm just fucked for whatever reason but whatever it's not super debilitating.

The guy that sits in front of me at work though. He ohhh he has been sent to test me. I've never met someone so generally loud in my life. Shouts doesn't speak. He types SUPER LOUD (poor keyboard). He might be a little hard of hearing, I dunno. He eats crisps every day (Chips for those across the pond) and I genuinely don't know how he manages to generate such impressive echoes with each bite. He then smacks the dust off his palms after consuming one. It's honestly like a round of applause. People look up from their desk when he does it so i'm not JUST being hyper sensitive (even though I am). My music volume has gone up anyway but it's not fully drowning out his lip smacking and constant seal claps. This is only ever a problem for me when i'm trying to concentrate.

If I read a headline that says "Man found dead, suffocated on a giant cork" I know where to start looking

Cork and oven gloves.

Just start shoving things down there until the noises stop

I'm always a moment away from this.

loud people in general grind my gears

like some people just talk so much louder than the norm and/or just have some quality to their voice that's impossible to shut out that you're across the room from them with multiple people between but you still home in on their annoying ass voice because it has some kind of inseparable resonance with your ear drums and you can't shut it out

aaaaa

i didn't know there was a word for that but every time someone loudly chews with their facehole open wide i want to impregnate their brain with a tactical nuke

i have a friend who has pretty bad misophonia, i try to be conscious of the sounds i make when around her

i'm usually ok around people eating but if they're open mouth chewing, especially something like pasta, sends me up the fucking wall

Ah man. You're a good friend. It can actually be really bad at times, it takes a lot of self control not to react externally in some cases.
And like I know that sounds super extreme but that's how badly it can set alarms off in someone's head. I'm super aware how stupid that is, some flight/fight wires deffo got crossed in the brain for people that suffer with it.

I have a bad tendency to bite my spoon, as I hate getting my lips all smothered in food bits.

I AGREE LIKE FUKN USE UR INSIDE VOICE LMAO

 

[Delta Shell]

OMG he slurps his tea so loud too. Why. Nobody else consumes things in this way. How can one human be so loud.

Yeah I dragged this up for that.

 

[jane]

oh yeah, slurping is a big thing with my friend too lol. i will get a (half joking) death glare if i accidentally do it around her

Authoritarian blowjobs only.

 

[Vermiform]

I make the same sound eating as I do fapping, silent barely noticeable inhales and exhales.

 

[jane]

thank you for letting us know

 

[Vermiform]

thank you for letting us know

I mean no one else in the vicinity ever will anyway.

Imagine having synesthesia and misophonia

Imagine having synesthesia

Well I googled the term.

Synesthesia is when you hear music, but you see shapes. Or you hear a word or a name and instantly see a color.

How the hell is this not considered normal? Who doesn't see anything when they hear music?
