I hate the automatic emotional reactions to certain things and how strong these emotions are. I wish I had better control over it, some of it could vanish completely and some decrease in intensity. And of course, misophonia. I wish I didn't have it at all.

@CrazyMusicLover Don't know what Misphonia is, what's that? With the other thing you mean when you have your own mind but you are taken hostage to a situation altering the way you respond?

@IUsedToBeHere Misophonia is actually one of those automatic emotional reactions that is hard to control. It's anger when you hear certain sounds. Some people have fight or flight response.

@CrazyMusicLover What sounds do it to you? Do you think it is associative?
CrazyMusicLover · 31-35
@IUsedToBeHere I won't say. I think it's quite random.

@CrazyMusicLover Fair enough. Do you have negative memories associated with these sound though? It might be anxiety or PTSD associated with those particular sounds.

@IUsedToBeHere No, not really. I have no explanation why those sounds. Many people hate sounds made with mouth, like loud chewing, crunching, slurping etc. I can tolerate those to some degree but it's also situational. At the kitchen table, I might not even notice but if someone came to eat to me while I focus on work or read a book in a quiet room, I'd be really annoyed. However, I know that those people who are triggered hard with these can't stand it anywhere and overreact right away.

@CrazyMusicLover ADHD. I have that.. When you are trying to concentrate which is difficult at times and disruption is assigned to any kind of noise or distractions. At the time it feels like that information is crucial and it can trigger an "unholy" anger.
