[quote=Anonymous]NP here. Thanks to the PP who suggested looking up "Misophonia". I think I have this!

I was on the bus yesterday and this guy was sitting directly accross from me listening to his head phones and he kept bobbing his head and moving both his hands and fingers as if he was playing an imaginary piano.

I wanted to punch him in the face.

I was looking down, reading my book and his behavior was very distracting. I kept seeing his head bob and hands move out of the corner of my eye. I just put my book up right up to my face to block out all vision of him. He was annoying as fuck.

I also have sound sensitivity as well. I can't stand when I'm alone in a room with someone and we are talking and it sounds like they are screaming or using their "outdoor" voices. My mom does this and it drives me nuts. I always interject and ask the pesrson if they can speak in a lower volume.

Same thing with the radio in a car or the TV. I cant stand loud playing radios or TVs. I'm always asking DH to turn down the TV. Or to turn down the volume in the car and he gets annoyed.

Yeah, I definately have misophonia!

The symptoms of Misophonia are listed as:

People who have misophonia are most commonly annoyed, or even enraged, by such ordinary sounds as other people clipping their nails, brushing teeth, eating, breathing, sniffing, talking, sneezing, yawning, walking, chewing gum, laughing, snoring, whistling or coughing; certain consonants; or repetitive sounds.[7] Some are also affected by visual stimuli, such as repetitive foot or body movements, fidgeting or any movement they might observe out of the corner of their eyes. Intense anxiety and avoidant behavior may develop, which can lead to decreased socialization. Some people may feel the compulsion to mimic what they hear or see.
