I have both OCD, and Sensitivity to saliva sounds.

[Guest guest]

Even since I was a child, the sound of the letters P, C, K and G have driven me

up a wall. It started with P. One day when I was 9 years old, whenever my

teacher would lecture us in class, she'd sometimes say a P word (Pie, Park,

Appropriate, Pine, Pile, Pint, Pioneer, Pain, Paint, Champagne, Apartment,

Popular, People, Part, etc). It's not so much the letter itself, but the " wet "

sound that escapes from the lips when people say it. If someone says it with

totally dry lips, it does not bother me. Unfortunately 98% or 99% of the time,

it comes out sounding wet. Also the hard sound of C and K, like: Car, Cat, Con,

Carl, Cop, Card, Kind, it's the " cuh " sound that the mouth makes. Basically

mouth sounds drive me crazy, to where I want to smack the person who is making

them (but I never have). I also have pretty bad OCD. I can't stand to see it

when someone rubs their face, licks their lips, sticks their tongue out (which

my dad does all the time, every time I look at him his damn tongue is out of his

mouth), bites their fingernails and spits them out (the sound is awful, my mom

does that and I yell at her). I hate it when people run their fingertip around

the edge of a wine glass. There are so many things that bother me, I cannot

even begin to name them all. I also don't like repetitive sounds or tapping

sounds.
