Is your family's chewing and slurping driving you insane? Here's what to do
Many of us know the experience of feeling enraged while sitting with a friend or a family member who's eating a little loudly and that sound makes you want to scream.
Now we're spending all of our time quarantined with the same family or friends, and every bite, chew, crunch and slurp is so LOUD. For some of us, it's worse than for others, and the subtle, seemingly irrational reaction can actually be heightened among people we know well.It's called"misophonia," said Zachary Rosenthal, a psychology professor at Duke University. That term means"hatred of sound.
Basic health guidance such as getting enough exercise and sleeping well"won't stop you from being triggered," Rosenthal said, but they will de-escalate the overall stressed state of being that can exacerbate misophonia.If you have misophonia, the National Institutes of Health's Genetic and Rare Diseases Information Center notes that other family members are likely to have it as well.
