Misophonia rant - Shut up. Just SHUT UP! It's not hard. People seem to have this constant and pointless level of just noise noise noise! I just had two people successively get up to use the bathroom when I am up late at night. They walk in and groan, start going "Mm-hm" and "uh-huh" for no reason, burp and then groan again, repeatedly mumble things like "oh, dear" when there is no reason to, sigh loudly with a sort of whine like a dog, then get a drink of water even though there is water in their rooms, gulp the water so audibly I could hear it from the next room, then do this repeatedly and sigh "ahh" after every sip, then burp again, then groan again when they finish, then walk back to their rooms literally making random grunts.
Just shut the **** up!! ! I literally had to put my fingers in both ears to shut it out. Maybe it's misophonia, but if I am going around doing things like this, I do so absolutely silently. There is no reason to make a noise. The only time I am making random noise is a stim I have when I get stressed or threatened, which is to hum completely tunelessly. And even that serves some purpose, being an autistic stim which calms me. It annoys the shite out of me people just being LOUD for no reason, and I rather nastily wonder if they would make any noise if no one was around to give them attention for doing so.
