Misophonia
 

I just saw a post about this on FB, and while I generally don't like to be the type to diagnose myself, this is SO FUCKING ME

http://www.misophonia.info/symptoms-and-triggers/

Some of the examples they give are so specific, it's almost scary. A really bad one for me is feet shuffling on the floor.. when I am eating at a restaurant and a server walks back and forth with their feet shuffling on the floor, it's all I can do to not attack them and beat them with their own shoes

Mind = blown :ahwow:

Anyone else have these issues?

Here's an article that introduces it: http://www.nytimes.com/2011/09/06/he...nnoy.html?_r=1

For me:

Whistling, chewing, slurping.
Ask my brother about the whistling anytime. he's come close to getting beat on multiple occasions

Studying in the library. Any sound is multiplied ten fold so I have to go to the silent room always or I'd never get any work done. Same as at my house.

lip smacking, loud chewing, foot dragging, loud yawning, i could go on and on

You guys are lucky, I wish I had a superpower.


:troll:

loud civics too :troll:

Never noticed... I guess these things don't bother me.

Most people can tolerate them, even if they're annoying. Normal people only seem to be affected when trying to concentrate or whatever. For fuckups like me, it's violently aggravating ANY time. I came close to attacking someone on the bus who was smacking their gum behind me... If it wasn't for the threat of deportation, I might have done it. I've also snapped at my own wife several times for various things that were never really her fault :(

i was in the dmv once and wanted to strangle this chinese guy in front of his mother for lip smacking his gum, like fucking loud!! did it for like 10m i had to summon every ounce of my will not to confront him about it.

sound of styrofoam packaging being removed from a cardboard box. just thinking about it makes my body tense up

Fingers on balloons... makes me cringe everytime

If I ever meet any of you I'm so coming back to this thread :troll:

forks and/or knives against ceramic bowls.
:denied:

Knuckles cracking gets me everytime

chewing with mouth open, harleys when they rip it by you, loud mouth breathing, to many to list....

There's a difference between misophonia and 'being annoyed by annoying noises'

A lot of things annoy me but only truly annoying, ignorant shit makes me want to punch someone in the face.

Guys like Skinny just have a really thin tolerance filter for annoying things.

the worst is going to school in the summer

all you can hear is the "scrape scrape scrape" of the clumsy, uncoordinated asian girls wearing flip flops

which is to say all of them

for me it's not annoyance.
Once i hear someone whistle my blood boils and I have an almost uncontrollable rage. It's not after a period of time, it's spontaneous.

Once that sound is gone (ie: headphones or telling whoever to stop) I revert back to normal mode.

Dragging shuffling feet annoy the hell outta me and saddly I'm in richmond I never heard so many shuffling dragging feet till I moved here.
I figure the reason why it bugs me is when I was a kid my dad would walk behind me and kick me in the ass for dragging my feet cus "shoes dont grow on fuckin trees!"
And sloppy open mouth chewers....yeah I get annoyed alot out in richmond lol

see you Friday :ilied:

Exactly I don't think people here are saying they have an issue with it, they are just listing annoying sounds now lol

Is there a condition for hating stanced out herrafrush cars? I'd like to seek help
