Have you ever found a sound impossible to ignore? Can you think of sounds that make you feel on edge or anxious? How about sounds that are so disgusting you can’t bear to be around them?
For people with misophonia, these kinds of reactions can happen with everyday sounds that most people barely notice, like eating, breathing, loud footsteps and rustling chip packets. At the more severe end of the spectrum, they can experience a fight or flight type reaction. Sometimes both: fight on the inside, flight on the outside.
