I think we all have to remember too that sometimes they don't know they are making the sounds. We can't fully blame them, we're asking people to be hypervigilant of everything sound they make, spend a day yourself trying to avoid every sound/movement that bothers you, you'd go crazy trying to avoid them. Yes I get angry at people, especially when I know I've told them, my mother tries and the rest of my family seems to have completely "forgotten" I've said anything, same goes for my co-workers.

I realize you probably don’t want pity, but I feel very sorry that your family would intentionally inflict you KNOWING that it affects you the way it does. When people learn of my intolerance for said sounds, they sometimes intentionally make them. I think they feel that your intolerance is simply something that can be thrown like a switch. They don’t understand, so they act out of spite and ignorance.

I don’t get mad because I’m able to avoid my trigger noises right now.

I have only one (very) noisy coworker. I wear Hearos earplugs under my noise-cancelling headphones playing brown noise. The ability to escape gives me tremendous comfort, so I don’t feel trapped and the noise doesn’t bother me much during my brief exposures.

People don’t interact much where I work, which has its good and bad sides.

I’m lucky for now,

Hi ,You wrote this in the past tense, like this doesn't happen any more. Have you moved on from reacting like that? How?Liesa______________________________ __To: Soundsensitivity Sent: Tuesday, April 3, 2012 11:10 PMSubject: Re: What do you think causes rage?I remember getting real angry with my family. They knew that the sounds hurt me, but sometimes they would make them anyway. Now, I hide my misophonia so I won’t feel that someone is intentionally or carelessly hurting me.I also remember talking inside my head about someone making my trigger noises: they were “lazy” or “gross” or “ill-mannered”. I remember thinking “Don’t they know they’re hurting me?”, which was ironic because they didn’t know, because I didn’t tell them, because I didn’t trust them not to hurt me.I also got angry when I felt trapped while hearing my trigger noises. I could get angry with someone who was preventing me from leaving, or with the noise-maker. The anger I felt inside was more likely to be evident to others if I had to talk. I was short with people who weren’t making the noise or trapping me, but I was angry while I talked to them, and it showed.Wow, I had forgotten what it felt like,
