Is it normal that i can't stand the sounds people make when chewing?

Whenever someone near me is chewing, I can hear everything! I hear their spit moving around their mouth and the smacking of their lips and if the substance they're chewing is something like gum, I can hear it sticking to their teeth with every chew. It is SO annoying. I feel as if I want to punch whoever it is around me in the face. I have found myself beginning to crying while close to someone who is chewing exceptionally loud or just really annoying. It is so frustrating. I try to ignore it, but I really can't, I have a serious problem with this and I feel it is making my life significantly less enjoyable.

    The way that certain people eat can annoy me or if it's a person I don't like. I will sit there and want to punch them in the face. This happens with my mom when I'm mad at her. I will just be like "STOP EATING. OMG. THAT'S SO FRICKIN ANNOYING" and she looks at me like I'm crazy. But yeah, pretty sure everyone has gotten annoyed at one point in time about this...

    The loud chewers deserve a slap. There is no need for it in my opinion! And those who chew with there mouths open... Ugh.
    You're normal but I don't really think crying about it is normal... It is incredibly annoying though!

    It's SO ANNOYING my brother is such a picky eater he puts a single bean in his mouth with his hand and then smacks his lips and tounge around in his mouth and makes one bean sound like a meal. He chews it so you can see everything and until the bean is liquid!!!! He sucks so bad not just cuz of this

    My son is the same way. He hates "mouth noises" unless they are his.
