    I have pretty bad misophonia. It’s only really triggered by certain sounds (sand paper and chewing being the biggest offenders) but when it happens I literally go into fight or flight mode and freak the fuck out. I am a machinist by trade and needing to avoid sand paper at all costs really affects my life severely.

      I’m probably neurotypical and I don’t get how people like me don’t understand misophonia

      Almost everyone experiences misophonia. It’s rare to not be upset by the sound of fingernails on blackboards and similar sounds; what’s so odd about some people having a wider range of problem sounds?
