Wow! This is the first time I've heard of anything that describes exactly how I feel although I've never hurt anyone physically over it even though I've wanted to throw knives. My family has forced me to just put up with it since it's illogical to expect people to change but I do have to leave the room sometimes if my mom is chomping in that deliberate determined way that makes me want to throw her plate out the the window. It helps that the TV is usually on during dinner and that there's generally a lot of background noise. The most frustrating part is how no one understands that even though I know I make noises, it still bothers me and I know it's irrational and people think you're just being a jerk. Is this at all related to being overly sensitive to noise in general? I get headaches everyday from loud people at school who totally okay with how loud they're being and I don't know how they can stand it without getting headaches too. Girls shrieking and laughing is the most painful. It's so acute and it feels like jabbing in my ears.
it's that bad, i know. i used to sleep with music on because from my room i could hear silverware hitting the plates and that drove me insane because i could imagine the sounds being made. now imagine when i was with them. i have no problem with other sounds with the exception of people biting their nails. ugh
Is it normal that I HATE the sound of people eating?
