Anyone else deal with this? The hatred of sound. Especially coughing, clearing of the throats, loud chewing, dishes clanking together. It makes me so angry and have to isolate . How do you deal?

Hey Guest,
An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.
Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

like nails on a chalkboardI just focus an ANYTHING else but my husband slurping his drink!
No kidding! I would have thought the look I give him would have been a clue ... But nope. He is completely oblivious to how what he does affects others. We fight so much about " important shit" that I just grit my teeth and order another glass of wine ...

My previous best friend has misophonia and something we did when I had to eat or we had to go into a situation with noises he didn't like, he wore ear defenders.
I would assume noise canceling headphones would give a similar result or even better if you put music on

Yep,it's honestly one of main reasons I like working nights so I don't have to hear my coworkers chewing around me all day.

I bought myself earmuffs last year and have been wearing them 24/7 at home, including when I sleep, and I often double up with my wireless earbuds. I made a profile post on why I bought them.
Personally, "human noises" and click-tick-tap sounds annoy me but they don't induce anxiety. I'm annoyed but fine nonetheless when I hear the to be expected noises from the environment I'm in, such as eating sounds in a cafeteria or sniffles in a busy waiting room. The reason I wear earmuffs at home is not knowing when and how long the next noise will disrupt my peace. I expect irritating noises from my neighbors and not knowing when they come is dreadful to me.
On another note, I'm pretty sure my mother has Misophonia. She hates little out-of-place sounds and shows a lot of telltale signs. Imagine you have Misophonia and your child has Tourette—that's my mother and I. I love my mom no matter what but I still remember the hurt I felt when she told me to be quiet or leave the room, the constant glaring I pretended not to notice, the stress of trying to suppress my tics in futility, and her anger. I suppose this seems rather mild but that's not how it felt. GTS is a part of me, and telling me to leave the room to not hear me is as painful to hear as telling someone with a deformation to leave the room to not see him. I understand GTS and Misophonia don't pair well so although I was hurt at the time, I don't feel angry or sad about it now.

Yeah, I've got this. Wish I was in a position to move out to the countryside, the boonies, where "neighbors" are at least hundreds of feet apart. Just too much, and the wrong kind of, noise in a city.
