do any of you have it? what kind of sounds trigger it for you, & is it everyone or just some people who trigger it? have you found ways to cope with it?

for those who don't know what it is, misophonia is a disorder where you find some everyday sounds abnormally hard to tolerate. most commonly those are mouth sounds, like chewing. the reactions you have to those sounds are most commonly intense anger, disgust, panic, a need to flee, etc.

yes!!!!!! just any repetitive sounds, mostly chewing and tapping. i've had to deal with it for like 12 years so i've learned how to handle it so it's rarely a problem for me nowadays. i can eat around other people as long as there's some background noise (as long as the background noise itself isn't disruptive), so eating at restaurants or at larger gatherings is fine. i just avoid doing it at home
if i'm at school or on public transport i prefer to have noise cancelling headphones or i won't be able to focus on anything other than every little noise i hear

me having every hearing related problem lmao like... bruh... Can't Hear but also i constantly hear a ringing sound that isn't there but also sounds make me angry

but yes i think i read years ago that it's more common to be triggered by your family?? and that's definitely true for me, sounds from other people bother me as well but not as intensely as my family. it's just mouth sounds for me like chewing, lip smacking, breathing etc. i have trouble with my own eating sounds as well lol that's why i usually eat with headphones on
