Is it normal to have misophonia?

There are certain sounds that drive me crazy, like loud chewing, smacking lips, even loud vehicles going past the house. Not all sounds, just certain few that really aren't bad sounds at all but for some reason they drive me nuts!

    I have the same thing! We are allowed to eat in second period and the sound of chewing makes me want to pull out my hair literally!

    I'm like that when I have an anxiety attack. So my advice would be to get help for anxiety, and see if that helps.

    I have it, big-time, and my hot older sister is worse..Cannot stand those noises. We've walked out of dinners and gatherings just to get away from people making those noises..

    My solution
    At all times I have at least 2 iPods on me and a set of earphones and headphone, so something is always playing to drown out everything else you don't want to hear

    What the fuck is smacking lips? If i'm writing a lab report up every single little noise really annoys me.
