Well Done for explaining misophonia and the effect that misophonia has on so many aspects of one’s life. I am in my 50’s, I only learned the name of this disorder in the last year - was absolutely a relief to know it is a real thing. It has been progressive for me - worsening with age. I have recently had to leave my job as I couldn’t stand the office noises any longer (am currently recovering from the ordeal of trying to keep working in that space). I hope that in time there is a way this can be eased for all who suffer.

Complex ptsd/TMS mindbody syndrome. People really need to stop isolating alk these sensory disorders in highly sensitive people. Argue if you want, my words are my truth. I definitely have this - but now I know I can cure it.

Thank you for this video. The teens did a great job describing the condition. It was spot on. Great video that will help others. ❤

To be quite honest I am crying after just a few minutes into this video. I am about to learn if I have an official case this month and that will be the best thing possible

Very very important movie! Thank you!!!!

Its heartwarming, thank u for making this video and for sharing their stories it feels good knowing that there is other people feel this pain like me

Whats really awful about this condition is it impacts dating or relationships too, it becomes hard to get a girlfriend if for example going to a restaurant and hearing all the smacking lips is bothersome, or eating together with a date/girlfriend in silence is triggering. She likely will be offended, annoyed or turned off and quit, and it would be hard to find girls who are understanding enough to tolerate it in their partners. Just another reason I never bothered dating and gave up.

Thank you for putting misophonia on the map

I have had times in my life I was a captive audience to problem sounds and I got lots of shaming worst time was in mid to late teens and my 20s Twenties was the worst

When teens or children complain about noises upsetting them please believe them I am autistic and have been upset by babies crying people shouting and several other sounds that are too intense I’m thankful I’m not bothered by chewing or breathing It is so sad that the sounds that bother some people are everywhere I am usually able to avoid problem sounds

I remember was I was 10 and I noticed that I was sensitive to some sounds my mam was my trigger and it caused me so much anger I couldn’t even sit In a room with my family because I’d go crazy, and they would say that I’m being dramatic and i started to think I was ! I would tell my mam to keep me dinner and eat it when everyone’s done because I didn’t want to cause a fight because the noise of people eating would make me so anxious! Then I met my partner and every noise or movement he does drives me insane! He sniffs, slurps, loud breathing, snoring it causes fights because he doesn’t understand and tells me I’m being selfish and dramatic I hate it I hate feeling like this it controls my life!! I wish I could control it so much, my mood changes and I’ve began to hate myself so much because it’s starting to push people away

Bring gum with you and chew louder? I am not sure how many people can do this but the hatred of such sounds doesn't exclude the individual feeling it. I can't listen to my own self either. Also, I'm 41. This is a lifelong issue. I have used it to improve my spirituality because how can I have something no one can help with.

Thank you!!!❤️❤️❤️

I literally cried during this, i was so relieved when i found out i wasn’t bratty, dramatic, crazy.

That was excellent and very helpful as now I know I have a son with misophonia and it is real. I think everyone should watch this video.

I have misophonia and my main trigger is the sibilant s like the esss is drawn out or almost like a whistle, I know there are many with misophonia that have the same trigger so I feel really bad for them if they come across this video like I did it's so bad in this video I almost threw my phone!

My triggers- Chewing smacking Crunching Breathing Sniffling Tapping foot( even if i can’t hear it) Dogs liking paws and cats liking Barking Basically any repetitive sounds Like beeping or anything else I mentioned Breathing and chewing at the same time Misophonia makes me nauseous and angry and panicked like I just need to break down and cry and throw up at the same time

I hate when others blow their noses it's drive me crazy and I also hate the sound people make when they are trying to get piece of food out of their teeth😭😭😭 but I hear it every day and I can't tell my family to stop ..

Makes me angry that I have this problem. Oh Im 53.

When I hear certain sounds my mother in law makes, I hit my head or if I have a rubberband around my wrist, I snap it hard. The other sound is the sound of one of our cats licking. I have to move her, stop her in some way like throwing something at her (never to hurt), or walk out of the room. Someone chewing w mouth open annoys me too. Nail biting is a less triggering one but does bother me. It all started when I was a teen & noticed my dad chewing w his mouth open. I can tell my husband & sister to stop that but I cant tell my mother in law so I hit my head. I DID had some success with listening to certain soft music thru earbuds when around my mother in law. What wonderful conversations we could have had all these years if I wasnt that way. She annoyed me in other ways but at least we could have talked some.

Thank you so much it a great help especially those advices you shared.I thought im just an introvert person but now im sure i am suffering from misophonia.since im her in philippines i live in a very noisy and crowded place/house and our room is near the table and kitchen.sad that makes my everyday life sucks i feel sad and i feel like theyre doing the noise purposely so i will be mad it felt like i would have heart attack because of anger. Thats when i hear somebody washing dishes noise od dishes utensils drivws me crazy

Misophonia has just made me feel so guilty throughout my life. Guilty when I am overcome with anger and a need to hurt someone I love, guilty when I cry at night obviously knowing loved ones can’t just stop eating. Sometimes I wonder if I can even be in a relationship, I get so angry when my boyfriend eats. I hate misophonia.

I have misophonia. On a daily basis I have to deal with *constant* heavily triggering sounds that I can’t do anything about. Be it my friend talking to me, the clicking of pens, the lady in front of me *loudly chewing her gum,* it’s hell. It is absolute freaking hell. And I just have to learn to deal with it. Except with misophonia, that’s not an option. Let’s show an example. Imagine having an intense emotional and physical reaction whenever you saw the sun. You’d go outside and suddenly your heart is pounding in terror and there’s so much rage building inside you that if you saw someone right now you’d probably punch them. That’s what it’s like having misophonia. It’s unavoidable. Unless you stay holed up in your room all the time, you’re basically *forced* to be around it. All the time. And nobody understands. Nobody hears it the way you do. You feel like you’re going insane, like you’re trapped in your own mind. Like, it’s literally just someone eating! My life isn’t in danger or anything, so why am I feeling this way?! When I first noticed it, I was told, over and over, that I was being irritable. That I needed to stop being so uptight. That I needed to just *ignore it.* But you can’t ignore it. This isn’t a situation where the more you’re exposed to it, the better it gets. It’s the opposite. The only reason my misophonia is so bad to the point of me almost having a panic attack at the mere sight of someone chewing with their mouth open, is because I was told to *ignore it* and *stop being so sensitive.* Every damn day, I had to just tough it out. And even though more people close to me know about it now, it’s nowhere near being better. *Constantly* I have to physically force myself not to react with violence or screaming. No one should have to go through that. It’s a living nightmare, and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy. Thank you so much for making this. Everything said in it was 100% percent accurate and I teared up many times while watching it. I felt so *seen* and it always fills me with joy to find others that know what we go through. If people like you continue to spread awareness, more and more people will know about misophonia, and the ones who suffer from it. Maybe someday, it will become treatable just like so many disorders before it. And if that’s not possible, just a way to *manage* it would mean to world to so many people, myself included. So to everyone that participated in the making of this video, thank you. :) ~~Flynn

Excellent video. Well done!

So many triggers in this video

THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU so much for this video!!!!! My 12 year old son is suffering so much from this and this video has been very helpful to me and to him. Very well made. THANK YOU so much for taking the time to do this. You don’t know how much it has helped!

So thankful to have stumbled onto this incredibly insightful video and the further info links. I'm dad of a spunky 22 yo daughter who I think may have miso. The thing is she also has Down syndrome, and imo was misdiagnosed and misprescribed earlier this year when she had what her mom and I and her therapy team thought was a psychiatric breakdown. I kick myself for what those psychiatric meds did to her.

When i found out it was an actual thing i was relived that i wasnt some insane crazed abomination that came out wrong and is alone in the world. Some people that KNOW what i have still say im overreacting but at this point ive heard it so much that i shut them up

I'm going to make one of the main characters in guardians of Amara (it's a TH-cam series, search up Team Rosewater and you'll find it) have misophonia to help raise awareness. This video was very helpful, thank you!

sometimes when my mom moves or does a type of little dance, it makes me so angry and I feel so bad that it makes me mad.could that be a trigger ?

i’ve never felt so heard, god the tears are flowing. thank you for this. ❤️

Thanks Vivien, I am 51 and I suffered misophonia especially the last 3 years, Thanks for the Video, Great Job

29:08 idk what she sniff but I want it

My parents just don't get it they blame me for having attitude problem. I get so frustrated trying to explain that the noise makes me want to almost hurt myself physically.

My mum has ASMR in the background as I’m listening to this, I think that says enough of how she respects misophonia

This is amazing. This shows me that I'm not alone, that there are people my age that suffer with this too. Thank you.

Is it natural for misophonia to get worse as I age?

I just found about this, omg I am not crazy! Thank you so much.

I can't stand it when people use the word 'like' for no reason: "I was like crazy. It is like fun. I am like tired..."

This is the most amazing video I've seen yet, that talks about misophonia! My teenage son has suffered since he was 9 years old. I cried for all of you.

Thank you so much for making this, and someone finally mentioned paper, one of my worst triggers is the sound of paper and also the sound of certain sheets. I actually can feel it, it makes my eyes hurt it’s horrible it’s actual pain it makes me very angry.

i was so younge when it first started that when my parents told me i was being over dramatic and i need to stop thats what i belived.

As a teenager with misophonia it’s hard and at first I thought something was really wrong, or that I’m going crazy....but when I told my parents they start to do some research and found out I have misophonia. My tiggers are breathing to loudly, chewing, sneezing, cough, mouth noises,and many more...when my parents didn’t know they are always saying to block out the sound and/or to stop being dramatic. And at this point it’s gotten so bad that I can’t even eat in the same room as someone who is eating or I will get really mad or even start to cry..(I normally have to leave the room to whomever is doing it, and I repeat “stop” over and over under my breath..and people don’t understand, it’s a strange feeling but I want it to stop) it’s been horrible but I’m trying to get better and I might even go into therapy...but I need coping mechanisms so if you guys can help me with that. Yes, it can feel like your in a bubble because you really can’t do anything about it...and no one understands..it makes me mad

I have this and have been hiding it for awhile. The sounds that get to me are all eating sounds, which sucks because my parents are huge on family dinner. Tonight I finally snapped, I started crying and yelling at dinner, because I didn't tell them they didn't know what was happening. Don't hide it from people, I tortured myself for years, trying to hide that it upset me. I still haven't explained what happened but I'll do so tomorrow.

Hello! I really want to show It to my parents, may I translate It to Portuguese?

I’m going to send this to my dad. He claims to understand but when I bring it up he talks to me like I can control it. I started tearing up while watching it. Thank you. This is an important topic to bring awareness too.

This is touching. Especially for someone with Misophonia like me. It’s nice to know that there are other people out there who have it as well. I love seeing more representation for this to bring awareness.

I believe I have misophonia and I get very angry and stressed when I hear any chewing , sniffling or slurping noises It gets so bad to the point where I yell or walk out of the room and I can’t control it my mother thinks I’m dramatic, sensitive and crazy when I get upset
