What's new

Little things that gross you out.

Hearing people chew. And not just the obvious open-mouth, lip-smacking kind of chewing, either. Even when someone is trying to be quiet, I can still hear it. I find it to be so disturbing that I have to leave the room or put headphones on. Seriously grosses me out. And as it turns out, there's apparently a reason for this: a neurological disorder called misophonia, which is an intense dislike for soft noises.
NO WAY!?
There is a proper disorder for that?! Oh, you made me sooo happy!! Can't wait to tell my friends, husband and family!!! But still I doubt they'll forgive me...
I also have problem when I'm about to sleep and someone is breathing so I can hear it, not to mention snoring....

So it's not me it is a neurological disorder! I'm a legitimate freak! me happy :)

Thank you so much for giving me this information and I thought I'm the only one in this world! Seriously!
 
The sound of someone filing their nails - don't ask my why but GAH can't stand it. Same if they make a scraping sound on short carpet (you know that kind that is just long enough to have "hair" but its all really short and firm

How about this ?

These are the exact same reactions I had when I found information about this. It had gotten so bad that I thought there HAD to be something wrong with me, especially when everyone else seemed so oblivious to the same exact things that drive me insane.

Check out this website: Misophonia Online | The HUB

About 6-7 years ago, I bought a white noise machine and have it on every night when I go to sleep. It's a godsend, really.
This is the one that I bought and it's held up just fine for the entire time I've had it: Amazon.com: Marpac Dohm-DS Dual Speed Sound Conditioner: Health & Personal Care

There's also this website in a pinch: SimplyNoise -- The Best Free White Noise Generator on the Internet.

When someone talks to you while brushing their teeth.

Oh hell yes - and it also seems to turn up a lot in movies, TV shows, whatever - a character wandering around brushing their teeth, spitting, dripping, while talking. Whoever thought this was a cute bit of business to give actors needs their head examined. :puke:
