my apartment is small and my computer is in a common room. i absolutely hate this because it means i am forced to listen to others chew and cough and generally be humans and it drives me to distraction. i cannot stand it. my one roommate is chewing SO LOUDLY and won't stop coughing.

i know this is my issue and she's not doing it on purpose but ugh. i cannot wait until i have a place of my own and can browse in peace.

sorry. had to get that out before i explode and scream at her.

Headphones are your friends.

This, pretty much.

Dear fuck, I cannot stand the sound of smacking. You have my complete sympathy.

It sounds like you may have Misophonia. I suffer from it, too, and the easiest way to get around these situations is using headphones+music.

JFC there's a syndrome for every little aspect of day-to-day life now, isn't there?

Misophonia is an actual disorder, it's not a label. People who suffer from it have an automatic fight or flight response to certain sounds. Like hitting the gas and going from 0 to 100 in a second. It's not just "Oh dear, that is annoying".

You silly.

I don't care what names you give every little thing. As long as you don't try to use this as an excuse for anything. Everyone has little noise pet peeves.

lol Troll. Misophonia is a neurological disorder.

Yeah, a pretty stupid one. It's only symptom "People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by such ordinary sounds as other people clipping their nails, brushing teeth, eating, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, whistling or coughing; certain consonants; or repetitive sounds."

So being annoyed by a sound means you have misophonia. Congratulations, the majority of the population have it.

Now hyperacusis is an ACTUAL auditory disorder.

Eh, it goes beyond mere annoyance, at least for me. I get incredibly violent urges and have to leave the room just listening to my cats lick their paws. My first instinct when hearing people smacking is to want to scream at them and throw something heavy at their heads. Since that's not socially acceptable for some reason, if I can't leave the room or politely plug up my ears I'll just discreetly injure myself as a personal distraction.

+1 hyperacusis IS an actual disorder (think piercing, head-splitting pain, the worst headache you've ever had in your life, in a split second that feels like forever...that's a bare approximation of hyperacusis); "OMG STOP CHEWING" ain't it.

OP needs to suck it up and accept the fact that there are other people in the universe, doling things, besides OP.

I know, right? Just like those normal sexual people who go by that fake label Demisexuals, lmao

Demisexuals: aka the vast majority of the human race.

aka poor tumblr kids that needed to feel special about something.

How do you feel about asexuals?

Oh yes, demisexual wank that is totally related to the topic of conversation. Exactly what we need.

Fucking this. When a majority of people for decades have complained about the sound of people chewing, it's not a disorder, it's just an everyday annoyance that we have to deal with.

I don't think the majority of people do though? Not to this extent. That's like saying that for decades people have complained about being distracted and so ADHD is not a real disorder, just an everyday annoyance.

I have NEVER met a person who enjoys the sound of someone chewing in a quiet room. Unless it is some kind of weird fetish.

You have a neurology degree, I take it?

Yes.

No.

People who suffer from it have attacks when triggered, some are brought to tears, some want to lash out at the sounds (Which are more than just "lawl chewing"). They're repetitive sounds, and they cause a very large amount of stress to the individual. Far more stress than a normal person would have fun these sounds. I know you're trolling, but you're doing a pretty poor job of it.

thanks for this post.... BABYCAKES
