it’s not that i find the sound of gum chewing annoying or bothersome, it’s that i find it completely intolerable, to the point that it makes me want to kill myself and the gum chewer and babies and kittens and grandparents and ministers and rabbis and nurses and bankers and magnates and everyone else in my proximity/the world. to the point that it’s GREATLY (or terribly) affected my life. to the point where i consulted doctor after doctor, none of whom were able to diagnose it. and it’s been this way for as long as i can remember. recently, my friend and fellow sufferer brought the term “misophonia” to my attention. and my response was unbridled elation and relief. A NAME A NAME IT HAS A NAME AND IT’S REAL. and now? now, i stumble upon this article (mere moments after having to leave a social engagement because someone was chewing gum and i almost had a full-scale panic attack, mind you). i feel vindicated. i feel validated. i’m moving to amsterdam. cc: Brian Elerding motherboard.vice/read/the-horrible-anger-you-feel-at-hearing-someone-chewing-is-called-misophonia
