I get this too. I also get 'I can't help it'.

[DoomyPanda]

i don't know if this counts, but both the sound and sight of someone scratching a piece of paper makes me feel so uncomfortable. i kind of feel it myself through my own fingernails, even if it wasn't me. >.<

Come alive! This thread is really nice.
I've had Misophonia since I was at least 5 (my mom says). I can't stand nose sniffing, eating noises, snapping, and actually this little thing my sister does with her face to supposedly 'lift up her glasses'. I hate how when I tell people about this they just think I'm a brat or am exaggerating, but every time such extreme panic and rage hits me that I'm literally scared I'll hurt someone or even myself. It's horrible, and I'm really glad it's being discovered more and researched more. I'm glad some of you guys can relate c:

I despise so many noises. Mainly, crying, coughing, sneezing, breathing, shouting, feet shuffling, chewing noises, snoring, sniffing ect, And it's so unbearable. I always try to hurt myself in one way or another ((I'm not suicidal at all)) by biting my arm or bashing my head onto pillows, beds and doors. Snoring is so annoying, I share a room with my sister and she sleeps before I do because she's younger and her snoring is so terrible, I have to shake and push her so she stops. And my mother chews in a horrible way. When I ask her to stop she will start doing it more and most likely right in my face. I haven't actually told my mother I might have misophonia because she is the shouty type and will probably say it doesn't exist. Also, during school assessments the whole class will get a cold within 3 minutes and will cough for a hours straight.

I think I got a new superpower
I freak out when I see people eating

[city of angels;]

Oh my gosh, I'm so glad I found this thread.
I got this from my dad, he and I have it pretty badly. If someone sniffs, crinkles paper, chews loudly, coughs, anything, you name it, I get so angry. Sometimes it makes me want to cry. I've learned how to relax and deal with it, since none of my friends can seem to chew with their mouths closed...but sometimes I still snap and get really angry at my family if they are loud. Sometimes, my own chewing drives me crazy ;n; it's so bad.

[arbor fray stain]

oh my god this is it
my brother smacks his lips so much and it makes me want to smack him ;-; when i tell him to stop he just does it louder. my parents attribute it to 'he's a boy' 'calm down' when i say i can't calm down, my dad gets really mad, like 'yes, you CAN control your feelings!' um, no. this is a pure hatred.
i also hate just annoying weird sounds in general. and the sound of my sister playing the piano. not anyone else, just my sister. it pisses me off so much. ;-;

[theatres]

this is it, this is it, this is me 100%

my "triggers" are mouth sounds of any kind, foot tapping, clicking, sniffles, throat clearing, scratching (like scratching an itch), cutlery clicking against plates, flip-freakin-flops drive me insane, as well as visual stuff like tapping feet, fingers, flipping hair out of your eyes by jerking your head. also, vibrations kill me. i am insanely sensitive to them, and they make me want to hurl the person off of a cliff. it's horrible. oh, also typing on those old keyboards that click. and movie theater sounds like popcorn and slurping drinks. crinkling paper, seeing people eat, crinkling paper, crinkling paper, crinkling paper

also: the sound of russian being spoken for extended periods of time. this is particularly bad, because my mom, her sister, who is here a lot, my brother and i are all russian, and i take a russian class in school. the way we pronounce certain words drives me crazy, and my mom watches russian television really loudly all the time. i can't stand it whatsoever

sometimes it will get so bad i will actually start crying and my hands will twitch. i have to plug my ears or i'll start crying, and if it doesn't stop immediately i won't be able to help myself. the warning signs are usually when i shoot a person the evil eye, or just stare at them, wanting to say something but not wanting to be rude. then i'll start twitching, which eventually progresses to full-body shaking. if i don't get out of that situation right away, i will start crying. there is literally nothing i can do about it, short of murdering the other person to make them stop, if i can't leave the room and they won't stop. it's especially bad during movies and tests at school

another way i make it stop, if i'm deperate is hurting myself (not self-harm, just to block out the noises). if i dig my nails into my palm, i can usually keep myself from having a complete breakdown; i keep my nails really long because of this. clenching my jaw really hard helps occasionally too, though not often

i don't know, does anyone else have it as badly as i do?? i manage to avoid some of it because i constantly wear headphones and blast music loud enough so that i can't hear anything else, because if i can, then it will drive me crazy. even the few seconds of silence between songs makes me want to punch a brick wall oh my god

i'm reading through some of your triggers and literally shivering as i read them

[sanctuary;]

wow i never knew this was even a thing i thought i was just super sensitive to everything

gum chewing. even if i can't hear anything, just the sight of a jaw moving up and down makes me want to scream. one time my dad was chewing gum (he really smacks with his mouth wide open) and I literally saw red in my vision. before then I didn't even know that was a real thing, just a saying.

also one time my mom was typing really loudly and again I saw red. normally typing doesn't bother me but I was trying to concentrate that day and /:

my sister singing. oh my gosh i'm so sorry because i am just as bad but hearing her sing makes me want to punch her mouth. :c I feel so awful and violent admitting that but it's true. :c

also just generally anything to do with eating. if i am eating as well then i don't mind, but if i'm not just listening and watching it makes me feel very violent.

and when people clear their throats repeatedly. i'm okay if they just do it once but lately my mom has been clearing her throat every few words. it's.. very uncomfortable.

wow this is amazing that i'm not crazy. i've been repeatedly called a hypocrite for it and now i am generally able to control it by, like others, clenching my fists and teeth. but if my mom tries to chew gum in the car i will ask her to spit it out before i punch the windshield. x3
ugh I just get so angry, to the point that i have honestly wished people i love would die. and then felt godawful about it after the trigger has subsided.

i think I got it from my dad, he hates it when people fidget. D:

[apricity]

ugh I can't stand a handful of the things listed in common triggers e.g) loud popping noises made with mouth, cutlery against teeth, pens, when people smack their mouth after eating, ahhs after drinking, drinking loudly, etc
i thought i was the only one uwu ;
humming when breathing oh dear lordy
