Is it normal for me to be disgusted by seeing other people eat

So for the longest time I absolutely hated seeing/hearing people chew but recently it has came to the point where I hate just watching people eat in general. This has also started making me eat less because when I eat I just cant stop thinking about how disgusting I probably look.

    Yes. I'm the same + I cant stand others watching me eat. As a kid I never ate outside of home, i'd grab food at school but not eat much of it.

    I'm in a similar situation like you.

    It's a very common pet peeve. I think it's gross too, and whenever I'm having dinner with people I just try to ignore it as best as I can

      I always got called out by my parents as a kid for "chewing loudly" despite the fact my mouth was closed.

        My sister would do that to me. But when I looked at her eating she would chew with her mouth open.

        When I was a kid, I used to drive one of my sisters nuts by scraping my teeth across the fork.

        I think calling people out for it is kinda rude. It's a gross sound, but it's not like anyone can chew food without making any noise whatsoever
