Hate the sound of people eating when I am not eating.

Hope

I hate the sound of people eating crunchy  and/or smelly food when I am not eating with them, and the person concerned is either with me or are eating in a non food related place (including supermarkets). If I am eating with them, I am fine. I do not know why this is the case, but I feel angry and as though I want nothing to do with them. I am also very pedantic and think that food should be eaten at set times, my set times. And while knowing that it is unrealistic for other people to abide by my rules, I get angry when people do things like munch on biscuits in a public walkway, shop, or when there mind is engaged elsewhere. Forgive my snobbery, but I think it is uncouth and animal like

  • You are expressing the Classic autism oversensory sound trait, for me it is white noise. HOPE, you are trying in your mind to control the environment which you can not as you correctly say. You should see me around family member who smoke, I stick my mouth under my jumper, if I do not I will hold my breathe until I near faint. But they are oblivious to my sensory needs, so my suggest is, is to just move physically and therefore psychologically distance yourself away from the stimulas. You are going to have to live with it, so just structure your response into a comfort zone, not anxiety nor anger. Good Luck anti-muncher Wink Oh, don't apply for a job feeding pigs Money Mouth
