I FINALLY FOUND PEOPLE I CAN RELATE TOO! I don't know when I started hating the sound of sniffling, but I cannot stand it! My family eats a lot of spicy foods often and I hear my mom sniffle cause the food is so hot. I get so mad and my thoughts completely focus on her sniffling. I feel so bad when I get upset because its something that I need to control. I cannot control others, but I can control myself and my behavior. But it pisses me off!
I go to a university and I sit in front of all my classes. I have this girl that sits right next to me AND SNIFFLES EVERY SECOND! I always turn to her and roll my eyes or look mad at her. She does not get the picture, but I don't know what to do. I always think, is it just me and I'm a very irritable person? Am I mean? Why me

. I just want to be able to sit in a room with others and not care if they are sniffling, or the big thing I hate to hear, is gum chewing/ popping.
I WILL LEAVE ANYWHERE I AM, if I hear someone pop gum. It is so hurtful to my ears I hate it. I hate being in class and the professor is teaching and people smack their gum like nothing. It is rude and disrespectful and I feel like I am going crazy.

I don't know what to do. I focus immediately on it to the point that I am basically hunting for the sound. As soon as I hear it I look in the direction its coming from and get so mad at that person as if they are doing it on purpose to me.
I want a pill to be normal, God how I want this issue to go away, but I think everyone has little things that piss them off and mine are sniffling and gum popping.
I fantasize sometimes if I was a professor, I can control the environment and say, " there is no gum chewing in the class, if I see you chew or hear you pop gum, I will ask you to leave!"
But how funny profession I am going into is medicine. I will be dealing with sick people that of course will be sniffling. Instead of business cards for your wallet, I think I will buy mini tissues with my business info on it and maybe a slogan lol.
Please help anyone.
