is it irrational. ...

...to want to kick my dad and DH. Theyre watching monday night football, and theyre bothdeaf as balls. The tv is sooo loud i want to scream. My dad chews so loud and DH keeps clicking his beer can. I can not stand noises. I was trying to be social butni cant even stand them right now. Looks like im going to bed and leaving them to be disgusing boys by themselves.

  • depends on the day/night I'd be annoyed too. Can you move locations?

  • It's normal. I've been really irritated by loud noises lately. I've always been sensitive to them and I'm an introvert but I think lack of sleep makes the sensitivity a lot worse.
  • I have a severe issue with loud chewng in general. It makes me want to rip my ears off. Tonight, with the added exhaustion and being cold (which i also despise) i just had it. I did end up going into bedm LO slept from 930-230!! And i got to sleep around 10. I dont feel so homicidal anymore :)
  • Omg! I hate noises like chewing, eapecially my husbands! I have had this issue for years, the name for it is misophonia, but I swear pregnancy made it worse! I feel like my ears have been tuned to super sensitive! Nothing gets past my ears these days. I have days when it's really bad and i get so agitated and cry!!!
  • Omg x 2! I have the same problem. During dinner I have to sometimes get up and eat in another room. The sound of crunching drives me insane. It's pretty horrible. I hate not being able to eat with everyone else.
    Chips, cereal, sunflower seeds, ice, and apples are definitely a NO! I'll walk out before anyone even starts eating.
  • Im so glad im not alone! My dad eats pistachio ice cream...and obvs. It has nuts. But the fact that he chews the oce cream sends me up a wall. That and slurping coffee!!
  • Slurping is the worst! The struggle is definitely real.
  • I am dreading thanksgiving dinner as my crazy aunt is now coming. She's an ex druggy and is constantly slurping spit from the corners of her mouth from the nicotine gum she chews like its her job. Not to mention the loud mouth breathing. And I have a sister that smacks when eating. I just know the lack of sleep will make the annoyance worse. I better stick with a plastic spoon to eat with.
  • @whitemn04 def keep the knives ingood distance away. Then by the time you reach them youve calmed down.
    Im a home care nurse and work with a lot of elderly, i had this little old man one that kept smacking his gums. I was like really what the heck are you tasting??! Denture cream?? I had to really cut that visit short and was in a bad mood the rest of the day.
