MISOPHONIA in RELATIONSHIPS (A Conversation with Misophones about How To Deal with Misophonia)

The lady in the stripped shirt in the relationship for 17 years really hit the nail on the head when she said ‘ it’s like auditory abuse’

I am crying out for happiness to be seen and to know I'm not alone or angry all the time. My Psychologist told me that's what I have today, and I just turned 36 finally; I get this part of me, and I feel so seen by all of you. Looking forward to healing with more of a different lens and being kinder to myself!!! So much love for all.

You start thinking people are doing it on purpose… just to annoy you… and it’s a horrible feeling.

My mother used to overdo any sounds I complained about around the house and tell me how annoying I was with all my complaints. It’s hard for me to not take it personally and think people know they’re being loud or annoying and they keep doing it to irritate me. But I know they’re just being themselves and living their life.

This really is such a great video. I really try to explain this to people, but we all know how hard that is. This video will be a great help. I always try to tell people, “It’s not YOU that bothers me, it’s the sound.” My now ex-husband used to intentionally do things that triggered me, & then mock my response, or use my guilt & shame of my response to manipulate me. It’s just so hard to live with already, & his behavior really caused me a lot of emotional damage that set me back in my coping with this disorder. Terrified of dealing with this in future relationships, but I hope this video helps.

I always have Misophonia and found out it was a thing on social media about 2 years ago… im 49 and i hate to have to explain this to ppl. Is just keeping me from socializing and away from crowds .. im glad im not alone in this .😢

Awesome to hear from other sufferers.

Thank you for acknowledging the abuse you put your partners through! The guilt is justified, you're emotionally abusing your partner a lot with this issue.

I've always had this strange fear that if people knew I had it they would make these noises intentionally.

This is so spot on. Thank you for producing it. A great tool to share with your partner or friends.

I see myself trying to read people’s minds about what noises I make might annoy them, so I won’t do to them what I don’t like they do to me. If I’m cleaning the house and someone is watching tv, I try my best to not make any noise so they won’t turn up the volume. Watching this video makes me feel less weird.

This video is so helpful. Thank you.

As an aspie the noises that I hate : crisp packet rustling, sniffing, whistling, cultery tapping against plates while people eat, banging, tapping, certain peoples voice tones, and many others, it really stresses me out and causes me anxiety. I have extremely high auditory over sensory overload, its horrible. It causes upset just thinking about being exposed to those sounds. I also hate things like people flicking the feet, typing fingers, waving arms etc. I feel embarashed when I get angry by those things but just simply can't help it.

My only concern with a lot of this video in ERP / OCD terms a lot of it sounds like avoidance, compulsion and reassurance which could actually fuel the problem?

I have a brother with mesophonia and here are the things I cand do with out him throwing a tantrum Eat Sing Dance Wistle Hum Listen to music Sniffle Sneez Dance Couph Blow my nose Snap Clap Use my keyboard Use volume And more

thanks but the sounds I could not get through... strange you had so many instrumental to introduce the concept and disorder

The woman with vocal fry was intolerable.
