Misophonia (Hatred of Sounds)

Misophonia (Hatred of Sounds)

Taylor Gilmore, Creative Contributor

The worst sounds that can come from any human is that of someone eating. By eating I don’t mean the crunch of cereal at breakfast, I mean the munch of an apple during lunch, the slurp of spaghetti at dinner, the large gulp of milk after dessert and most definitely the chomp of ice cubes at any point in the day. I don’t see how people can eat so loudly and it not bother them. Sometimes you an even hear the saliva swooshing around their mouth as they eat. I don’t know why it bothers me so much, but I know I am not the only one who can’t stand it. Some people need to learn how to eat quieter, or even better, just don’t eat in my general vicinity. It would be very much appreciated.
