Guest guest Posted January 3, 2012 Report Share Posted January 3, 2012 Hey Liz (and everyone else), Speaking of the noise in grocery stores, do you think they should outlaw the so-called background music they play there and in other stores? (Just a friendly reminder also that there are kids here, so maybe “freak’n” might be better – and we’ll all know what you really wanted to say J ) From: Soundsensitivity [mailto:Soundsensitivity ] On Behalf Of LizSent: Tuesday, January 03, 2012 6:31 PMTo: Soundsensitivity Subject: Sandwich of doom I am squashed between 2 things: fear of social gatherings (and the noise therein) and annoyance in my house. Sounds immature and bratty to bring up, but that's exactly how I'm feeling. I've had misophonia for years, and my main triggers are loud " people noises " : talking, yelling, laughing at certain pitches or volumes. It doesn't always break me down, but I can get pretty freaking exhausted just going to the grocery store sometimes. I wish I wanted go to bars and parties (I'm 21) but because of my issues you probably couldn't pay me to go. I've drifted away from my high school friends cause they all went to college like normal people and are loving it. I have one good friend (who is also at school) and my boyfriend, thank god, lives nearby and is there for support. I want to make more friends, but it's so uncomfortable for me to do even the simplest things when around other people. I feel like I hate all the things about life that I should love.And on the other end of the sandwich is my grandfather. I live with my grandparents (and my dog, who usually makes me feel better)but I can't stand to hear/watch old people eat. I did not know this about myself until I moved here last year. It's just...disgusting. I don't care how numb your face is or how poor your depth perception is. NOT ALL FOOD NEEDS TO BE SUCKED OFF YOUR FORK. DINNER DOES NOT NEED TO BE IN SURROUND FUCKING SOUND.Yes, I do feel bad about thinking this way. But I've been beating myself up about my issues for 17 years. At this point, I'm gonna let off a little steam in any way I can, aside from aggrivated assault and setting the house on fire. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 I've always wanted to DJ a supermarket.That should really be a legitimate job, especially during the holidays. Those Xmas music-blasting sadists need to be overthrown.
