I hate when i can hear my relatives chewing.

It really really irks me when I can hear the chewing/swallowing sounds of the people I am related to. I have no problem hearing my friends chew, or just random people who I don't know chew. It has nothing to do with the process of eating or chewing itself. But if you are related to me and I can hear the digestive process starting in your mouth I just want to die then and there. IS IT NORMAL?

    It really only bothers me when my father and husband do it cuz they are especially noisy. On a deeper level the reason I hate it is because my dad would make me feel like s**t when I was little for the way I ate while hypocritically noshing away. Now when it bothers me I just ask the culprit if their food tastes better with their mouth open.

    HAHAHAHHAHAHA, You Are A Ridiculously Funny Man!

    Of course this isn't normal, but it is acceptable. Can you cope with your own chewing?!

    I feel the same way. My dad does it all the time and it drives me crazy. I'm so embarrassed my friends are going to think he's gross and it's just so rude! It drives me nuts!

    Well, I have something vaguely similar.. I don't like sharing drinks, or biting into food they've bitten into, with people I'm related to (Except the very very few I have a good relationship with, who I haven't actually seen for years.) But if it's with a friend or even someone I don't really know then I'm fine.
