Is it normal to hate chewing/gum cracking noises?

I absolutely cannot stand the sound of people chewing, be it food, gum, or ice. It makes me angry if I hear it (watching doesn't really bother me) and I get distracted from whatever I'm doing. And when people chew with their mouths open when I'm eating and I can hear them, I lose my appetite. Am I the only one like this? How can I stop getting so annoyed?

    Dont ever eat with Greek ppl my friend!!! We always make sounds when we eat... We eat very fast most of the times with the mouth open. Even when it is closed you can still hear as eat!!! It is a grate plesure if you try it at home!!! You will find that you like it!!! You are propably raiced in a family with good maners, but if you can be honest with your self you want to dive in your food too!!! If I am wrong after you try eat with noise and you still not enjoying it then try to eat with music around others so you can focous on the lyrics!!! Bone apetite my friend!

    Ugh, I hate the chewing smacking noise too. And when people talk with food in their mouths. I hardly ever go out to eat anymore and I purposely eat before the rest of my family, so I can go do something else while they eat. It honestly grosses me out so bad to the point where I feel nauseated.
