Phobia?!?!?
I don't know if this is a phobia, but i can not hear people eating, if i can hear people eating then i have to move or make a louder noise so i can not hear them, its starting to be really annoying, and soon i'm going on holiday with my parents and when we are in a restaurant i cant really start humming or move away and get a new table!!! what do you think i should do???
Answers:
I thought it was just me. I can't stand it either - if anybody starts to eat a sandwich or worse - crisps on a train I absolutely hate it - makes me feel like screaming.
At home, the radio goes on at mealtimes (sad I know) so I can't hear it so much.
For your holiday meals, if you have long hair to cover it, try foam earplugs to block the noise (you could say it's for earache or something).
Therapy (maybe hypnosis) might cure it in the long run - I can live with my phobia though, it's not so bad.
