Why do mouth noises like gum chewing make me want to kill them?

Question

When my dad sucks his teeth after he eats (same with mommy) I shake and tickle ickly everywhere and I get the urge to throw them out of the 75 mile per hour car on the high way! Then when my friends chew gum loudly, i treaten them, and hit them, dig my nails into them, and hit them with extension chords. I have and issiue. Why?

Answer 1

umm not trying to be mean, but please stop this if you ever want to get a decent boyfriend. really, it's a little dramatic..

Answer 2

I hate that noise.  Some people do it, because of a bad habit.  There are people that just do random things, not realizing it's a bad habit.  Just mentionit to them, and see if they eventually stop.

Answer 3

lol...AMEN   i want to either kill them, or fall into fetal position on the floor and suck my thumb, while rocking

Answer 4

Don't listen to Haz12, I know exactly what you mean.  When I was little the sound of my parents chewing caused extreme anxiety and I wanted to stab their heads with my fork every night.  What you have is a very rare condition called "mastiphobia" which is where you feel EXTREMELY  agitated and anxious when people start chewing.

When I was born I had a slight sensitivity to the sound of chewing but as the years went on and my parents kept forcing me to eat dinner with them, I hated them more and more.  At this point I hate my parents so much that I haven't spoken to them in over 10 years.

I've tried all sorts of medication and therapy to get over the sound of chewing, but to no avail.

  

You may notice that I'm typing this at 3:19 in the morning.  This is because I work from midnight to 8:00am.  Not because my company requires it, but because this is the only time I can go into work without a million people chewing and snapping their gum in my ear.

I feel your pain, and if you want me to tell you more about how to deal with your condition, just send me an e-mail.
