Can't stand the Sound of Chewing? You Might Have Misophonia | This Morning

[@VaeVictis96]

I definitely have this condition, the number of times I've felt like punching people eating and drinking loudly near me.... there's no need to eat like a toddler or a farm animal

[@ramosuljic97]

I’m the same way

[@mamamememoo]

Sometimes you’re hearing it a lot more intensively than what is happening actually with them.

[@kartikshetty5420]

😂

[@7773-i1u]

Same😂

[@TruckerJenkins82]

Never knew this was a thing. Since around the age of 10 I've had a real problem with people smacking their lips when they're eating, especially with my dad. Sends me absolutely mental.

[@Aj69808]

Hearing family chew makes my rage 10x worse than hearing strangers. I don't know why

[@TruckerJenkins82]

@@Aj69808 Same!

[@Mel-hl1bb]

I have this, its horrible. I could rip my ears off sometimes when people eat ir drink loud 😡

[@bigjohno242]

Sadly like many manners and considerations , table manners are a thing of the past - (and I don’t mean daft ones like drinking your tea with your little finger extended - I mean not chewing with your mouth open and slapping like an animal or shouting into your mobile phone in a restaurant 😕)

[@kangab1387]

I am another one. My pet hate, is a breakfast function. The noise of the cutlery clanging drives me crazy. I just don’t go to any eating functions anymore. Another one being on the phone and someone starts eating. I always say now, ring back when you have finished your food it is extremely debilitating

[@vmh3962]

I’ve suffered for decades with misophonia and had no idea it even had a name, I thought it was just me. Until I had my DNA done by 23&me to check for other things completely unrelated. My DNA results predicted that I would have misophonia. Since I’d never heard of it, I did my research and was blown away. Finally!! An explanation for what I had been suffering with my whole life. You say your not sure what causes it or where it comes from etc., but 23&me nailed it in my DNA. It fascinating to discover this and completely unexpected. I don’t work for 23&me or have any affiliation. If people think they have misophonia I recommend getting the DNA test done. That way if you have a skeptical physician or partner you can show real data that it’s in your genes.

[@Stumc46]

There is absolutely no need to eat or chew noisily. Its disgusting.

[@bethanydavis9023]

Some people chew loudly even though their mouth is completely closed. It's probably something wrong to do with the jaw in those cases, so not everyone can help when they chew loudly, just wether or not they chew with their mouth open or closed.

[@joannam.1198]

Or something to with their manners. Some people can eat really very loud with yet open mouths…it is awful rude.

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

I know a lot of noisy eaters & people who are not triggered by ANYTHING. I’ve walked out restaurants, the cinema, family gatherings. I eat Christmas dinner alone 😅

[@arafa408]

I know people doing it without eating or drinking they just keep moving thier lips for no reason 😢

[@rachellel]

She doesn’t make the tea too hot. Tea is hot. People have to wait for food and drink to cool before eating.

[@MabLikesBeans]

I’ve been wearing headphones for almost THREE HOURS this morning because my Dad’s video games AND my moms max-volume radio are just SO LOUD. About a third of the time I’ve been wearing headphones today have been spent CRYING because I just can’t get away! Sometimes it gives me suicidal thoughts because it’s just so stressful! I want to live life. I want to go and do the things I enjoy… but because of misophonia I just CANNOT do anything! Whenever I ask someone to stop making a noise, they just tell that I’m fussy or rude… it really annoys me! Some noises I don’t even know why I don’t like them, like why?! It shouldn’t be annoying and yet that trigger sound just makes me R A G E ! Every single day I just have to sit there with my headphones and accept my fate. I’ve tried to get away. But I just can’t. Next year, I’m going to Japan with my family, but how am I meant to enjoy it if I have really bad misophonia? Sometimes even if I’m wearing headphones just even SEEING them make that sound ENRAGES me to the point where I just want to throw myself out the window… heck maybe even I’ll through THEM out the window, I don’t know!

[@cameroncurrie7208]

I freek out on crunching . That's why cavemen carried big clubs.

[@karenohanlon4183]

😊 tea too hot so thats why he slurps. Dont buy that some people are attenrion seekers. They love to make noise its like saying I am here notice me. If the tea is too hot all he has to do is cool it down. Ruth you should bring a set of ear plugs for travel. Fidgeting and drumming fingers is a trigger as is fake coughing.

[@aco8714]

Doctor/ everyone with misophonia: This condition HURTS and causes a reaction sufferers can't help Eamonn: You're the problem.

[@kristyreynolds8334]

In individuals with this syndrome, the irritating sounds are processed in the limbic system casing an extreme fight or flight response. The ability to apply reason and logic in these moments is nonexistent and out of the person’s control. Interview an audiologist rather than a psychologist to understand this syndrome.

[@bethanydavis9023]

Up you go!

[@janewhitely964]

This guy is so dismissive of his partner and this disorder. Horrible.

[@rachellel]

Agreed

[@cannonball9478]

These aren’t people trying to make a fuss. The feeling is one of rage towards the person making the noise and it’s not a conscious thought. It’s a serious problem that wrecks relationships

[@justin-xo6wo]

First thought was if he eats one of those apples its getting turned off instantly.

[@myworldautistic6839]

I am misophonic and I had a huge reaction to his slurping as well

[@STARIZZY458]

When certain people eat loudly especially popcorn or ice cream i just want to shout every single slur i know at them and curl up and hide

[@Iceaiden]

Whispering and whistling for me are the 2 worst triggers for me

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

The list of triggering sounds is just endless. Thankfully now I’m using noise cancelling headphones & sound therapy otherwise I’d end up in prison 😅

[@enlilly2405]

I don’t like the sound of eating, cutlery sounds, reading, talking through phone etc. it’s horrible

[@okamuspanulirus9614]

Hate the sound of liquids being poured in a container

[@JillK-re4gv]

It’s no wonder these two split up. Ruth is so high maintenance.

[@WaynesPokeWorld]

This is started for me as child at the breakfast table. My brother would always choose crunchy cereal & I smacked him with my spoon & burst his lip. I become enraged.

[@donnad634]

I jus turn off any video with people in love with their mouth noises assuming others should change, not them. I get very angry at people like him. So egotistical and rude. Spoiled by their parents? Childishly stubborn attitudes to adjusting their beloved mouth noises, spit slurping, as if they enjoy their right to be disgustingly annoying. To drive others away.

[@Tikutae]

oh my goodness i can't go to the movies naymore, everyone munching and slurping burping, rustling bags!!! eww!!!!
