Nearly everyone finds loud eating noises annoying. It's only "misophonia" if your dismay hearing such noises leads you to irrationally fear communal eating. You'd rather eat alone in the toilet than have to deal with what most would consider merely an irritation.

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

Fear or anger, misophonia hits the fight or flight response. I definitely have it and I get very upset with myself when I hear a noise that is pretty normal but my brain interprets it as the equivalent of someone flipping me off. Brains are weird

I'll never forget going to a fancy steakhouse and there was a guy at a table next to us on a date, smacking his lips, chewing his food like cud, moaning, and talking about every bite of the meal with the type of passion typically reserved for lovers. It was so disgusting, but also made it a memorable dinner for me in the long run lol.

I don't think you have misophonia. It's not a matter of being annoyed at certain sounds. In my case, its not being able to process a cacophony of unrelated or discordant sounds. I can go to car races because the engines sound relatively the same, despite the decibels. But take me to a sports bar for example, and within minutes I have to get out of there before I get claustrophobic-type anxiety. I can't handle people nearby trying to talk over the TVs, TVs tuned to different channels and kitchen noise, all at similar volume-levels.

by Antonettawatsic 4 weeks ago

Dowmvoting because I agree. Absolutely cannot stand eating noises from specific people, so I know it's not a condition that makes all eating noises unbearable.

by Sad-Manufacturer-335 4 weeks ago

I hate having a radio on while I work but just before COVID hit I was working in an office with only two other people. The manager liked to talk to herself and the other one drank with loud gulps from a flask and noisily ate snacks all day, so when our manager suggested we got a radio I agreed enthusiastically. I even turned the volume up on a regular basis. When we returned to the office after COVID, the coworker who used to drink and eat noisily no longer did so. I suspect that as she had to work from home while her children were going to online school they complained so much that she finally learned some manners. She was close to sixty so it was about damn time. (The noisy coworker also showed up at least an hour late but left " on time" at least twice a week and if her sixteen year old daughter got ill she HAD to stay at home and look after her. It must be nice to be the manager's pet)

chewing with your mouth open is disgusting

by Herminavon 4 weeks ago

The second paragraph reads like you believe people with misophonia chew loudly. As someone with misophonia (manifests in me mostly as a fear of communal eating due to chewing noises), I do my best to eat quietly because I do not want to add to anyone else's pain. I would like to add that one thing that can help my misophonia from flaring is making the same sounds as the ones I am getting annoyed by (which I understand can really suck for the people around me), but if this is the case for the misophoniacs around you, maybe reconsider what you are doing.

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

Not liking people who can't eat normally isn't unpopular. If you get ragefully angry just because someone is eating chips in the same room in a normal fashion, that is misophonia. My husband has it, and it's not remotely what you are comparing here. He can't sit at the dinner table with normal eaters because just normal sounds of people eating make him viscerally upset.

by Anonymous 4 weeks ago

I think the point is that the NORMAL sounds disgust them lol. That's what makes it a condition.

It's only misaphonia if it causes you significant distress. I have misophonia and it has completely ruined my life. It has destroyed my relationship with my parents because I can't stand being around them, and so I can't spend any time with them and it has given me intense anger issues. I was completely fine before and then bam one day my brain decided to turn against me out of nowhere.

I'm confused... Nobody enjoys people slurping like a 90yo barely able to chew and swallow without making the noises of a clogged toilet. But to counter your unpopular opinion with another one, most of those who claim "misophonia" are the ones struggling to be around other humans and who need to claim suffering from a (controversial) neurological condition to excuse their lack of tolerance.

I eat with my mouth closed, breathe normally, and am generally polite and aware of myself when I eat. However, I totally make "mmm mmm" noises sometimes when something is really good.
