I've always hated the sounds of chewing, slurping and sniffling but now I know I'm not alone | Imbi Neeme
Briefly

If we have ever eaten a meal together, it's likely I've wanted to kill you. I suffer from a condition called misophonia, where small sounds such as eating, sniffing or clicking trigger an extreme reaction which to me, at least feels like a thousand tiny needles jabbing at my brain.
