| I obsess over a new thing every month or so. My obsession, if that may be the correct word, is with research. I will find a topic that interests me and I just delve completely into said topic. I'll be like a sponge, absorbing every little bit of information I can find about the topic, be it the Holo... |

| I am incapable of eating dinner with others, due to the sounds of silverware scratching on the plate, on other silverware, etc. The shrill sound it makes is worse than nails on a chalkboard to me. I literally cringe at the sound, and it causes extreme anger. I can't stand eating with others because ... |

I do indeed suppose that misophonia is different for everyone in ways. |

| Evidence you are American: you are taking a commercial too seriously. If dragging language that would be used to describe sex is pretty bad, the borderline pornographic images that some stores have should be addressed first. If this post was directed towards me: I do not understand? I did not inten... |

I never really think of things in a sexual way, so I guess that's that.
Writing on teeth? Oh no thank you. |

If you want to see it, it's located here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pYhMo-Kpm9I Does anyone else get absolutely horrified by the little noises that are made dur... |

| I've attributed it to a "need" to control things. Big things I accept are beyond my control. I expect small things to remain in my control, so I get unwound real fast when they go wrong. I understand this sentiment completely. When my father burps, it sounds absolutely disgusting, and I tell him no... |

| I got 31/36. The multiple choice made it rather easy. (It was quite easy to cheat on this test, and use process of elimination.) But I suppose it would have been impossible if it were open response, due to there being such a wide variety of emotions. One would have no idea where to start. Still, I e... |

But I don't know what my sense of humor would have been like had my family not had this same deadpan sense of humor; I learned from ... |

| I learned so much of my still limited social skills by studying sitcoms and movies. I assumed everyone did. No? Do you think that even those with naturally excellent social skills use comedy shows as a reference? I wonder what it's like for them. Oh, and I don't like watching movies. Movies progres... |

I'm just trying to straighten out a jumble of things that don't make sense to me, and would love a second opinion. I watch sitcoms because... Hm, how do I put this? It's almost lik... |
