A new or undiscovered word to many, misophonia is condition in which certain sounds provoke strong negative emotional reactions in people (anger, panic, or disgust) to a person with the disorder. One or more "
trigger" sounds can cause these emotions. Common
trigger noises include (but are not limited to) chewing, snorting, slurping, whispering, whistling, shushing, lip-smacking, and sneezing. Misophonia tends to develop in children and gets progressively worse over
time. If someone with misophonia tells you to stop whistling, slurping, ect, stop. If you
don't stop, you are a twatmuffin and we can't be friends.
"Why does Alex
get angry when I whistle?"
"He has Misophonia. It's a little like
OCD but with certain noises."
"Well, I'm not a twatmuffin so I'll
try to work on not whistling around him."
