HOW DO I GET MY FRIEND TO STOP CHEWING SO LOUD AROUND ME 😭😭😭 I feel bad because she’s not responsible for me or my trigger sounds but it’s so obnoxious and loud and makes it hard to be around her sometimes

unless there’s an underlying reason / need to, i think it’s insanely rude to chew with your mouth open 😭 -someone with misophonia whose friend is chewing chips so loud it’s making me wanna cry

Not doing it on purpose *

Maybe: “I don’t want to sound rude, and I know you’re nodding it on purpose, but could you please chew a little quieter? It’s a bit distracting” (?)

you could try to plan hangout times without snacks / not at mealtimes? but if shes chewing with her mouth open that is on her and would be a dealbreaker for me personally

Literally don’t say anything. I have severe misophonia but it’s not worth making anyone else uncomfy. If they’re my close friend I just say, “You know me and chewing sounds. Gonna leave the room now. Love you 🫶” if they’re a good friend they’ll understand.

I learned that people who chew loud simply do not know how to be quieter. You can’t control other people but you can protect your peace by leaving the room or adapting with headphones/earplugs (which have gotten me through many family dinners)
