sometimes i wish i was deaf

Post Reply New Topic

i can't stand the way other people eat. they slurp and they chew with their mouth open. i can't stand the sound. it really hurts like someone scratching their nail on a blackboard but worse since i can actually stand nail-scratching.

i cant eat with my co-workers and i have to force myself to dine with my family because almost everyone i know eats like this. i told them once that i cant stand the slurping noise but they dont believe me. they thought im making it up and that im just being annoying or they just told me to get used to it. they said it's the way they eat and they're not changing it just for me. but i cant get used to it. i didnt get use to it for 20 years how can i get used to it now?

I have the same problem. I hate the slurping noise people make when eating soup or cereal. Furthermore, its simply not necessary. You just close your mouth over the spoon, as if the liquid were a solid. That's the polite way to do it anyway. Everyone I know eats like this. Sometimes I can't stand it so much I almost want to leave the table. Also some people chew so loudly and smack smack smack when they chew. This also, is not necessary. I believe it is a learned habit and needs to be unlearned. I also don't like gum chewing sounds.

Well, suddenly I'm glad I am deaf.

the sad thing is it's accepted in my country. even in instant noodles commercials, the actors slurp the noodles. sad.

I completely understand how you feel, and am extremely annoyed by the same things.

I'm annoyed by that too, but not as much as when I was younger. When I was really young, I couldn't stand to be around other kids when they were eating. It was the noises, the smells, even the sight of a kid with jelly on his/her face. It provoked my sensory issues. I still get freaked out by some food sounds and smells. I don't know if I got better at dealing with it or if it bothers me less because adults aren't as messy.

I hate watching people eat
GOD ITS GROSS

I totally agree Kilroy! I usually have to even change the channel on the TV if they're showing people eating.

thats why I hate resturants

Oh, I despise restaurants! That's not the only reason, but it's definitely one of the biggest ones.

I hate the noise, I am a vegetarian and my family aren't

the guy next door has one of those 'jackass' laughs, it's coming in the windows right now ugh.

hope my neighbours like Fleetwood Mac

Sadly, I could never be a vegetarian because the only vegetables I like are cooked broccoli and raw carrots...and potatoes, but it's not like they're very healthy. I'm such an unhealthy eater because of my pickiness.

That would drive me insane!


I do.
