Neuroses |
|
|
There are lot of things that perturb and annoy me, but there are some that bring me almost to the point of disability.
This is a thread about your neuroses of that sort.
Here is maybe the worst of mine: I can't deal with the sound of people eating. If I'm sitting at a dinner table with people, there had better be music or a lot of ambient noise, because if I hear any chewing, slurping, or swishing sounds, I will die.
Before every meal with Lexy I go into my room, get my earbuds, put them into my ears, and sit down so that I won't be able to hear her CHEWING. I don't have to have music in them, the cord just dangles, and we can converse, but the earbuds muffle things just enough that the mouth sounds can't break through.
When I'm working with one of the guys I work for, who is a monster from hell when it comes to eating, it's literally agony. He likes to eat cereal, and anybody with my condition (maybe somebody else here has this problem?) knows that cereal is one of the worst foods when it comes to sound. Or it can potentially be, at least, if you're a god damned animal. When people SLURP the fucking milk out of the spoon with every bite, which is what he does, the sound of it is spine-melting.
He smacks his lips when he eats, he slurps every shit-fucking sip of his coffee, and it's just awful. I can't say anything because we don't have that kind of relationship. I want very badly to sneak my earbuds on when he's eating, but I know he'll see and then I'll have to come up with some explanation. So I just sit there and suffer.
In my next post, I will talk about people and their bare fucking feet. The topic of sandals will be explored in detail.
But first, let's hear some of yours. |

I have a problem with odd numbers. Ive realized this mainly with volumes. I cant have it on odd numbers , with the exceptions of numbers that end with 5 such as 15, 25, etc. |

This is definitely a thing with a lot of people, and I really wish I understood the evolutionary and/or psychological basis of it. |

Misophonia.
There are a ton of sounds that I find excruciating.
Haha. Reading the article about sensory defensiveness makes me think I have that, too. _________________ @}-,-'- *~*~* Member of the FTU Elegant Tea Party Society *~*~* -'-,-{@ |

Anyone smacking their dry lips or the side of their mouths sends me into convulsions. |

OH MY GOD, ME ME ME MEMEME!
"People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by such ordinary sounds as other people eating [YEAH], breathing, sniffing, or coughing; certain consonants [CAN'T STAND IT WHEN PEOPLE CURL THEIR 'R'S]; or repetitive sounds. People with misophonia may be diagnosed with mood or anxiety disorders [HELLO!] as well as obsessive-compulsive disorder [UHHH.... A+].
People who have misophonia may also be annoyed by other people's repetitive movements, such as leg-tapping, nail-biting, the rising and falling of the belly, and typing."
PEOPLE POUNDING ON THEIR MOTHER FUCKING KEYBOARDS AT COFFEE SHOPS FORCED ME TO STOP GOING TO COFFEE SHOPS.
Life is a nightmare. |

Perhaps you should set an example and never type anything again. |

I can't sleep in the same room as anybody because their cacophonous lung activity makes me want to stop their breathing all together.
Also, every other sound in existence. This is why I used to stay up all night and sleep all day. NO NOISE EVER. |

My sound related madness can't be matched. Just accept defeat and change topics. |

Everyday is a struggle. Being a social recluse coupled with a strict adherence to anti-social behaviour covers everything else just fine. |

Haha, but seriously, I am probably incapable of bonding with other people due to the fact that I am man-skin wrapped around a lower animal.
Haha! |

MHH obviously chews like a boots walking muddy gravel, and loudly licks each finger as it becomes greasy. |
