Do certain everyday sounds trigger an intense emotional reaction in you, yet seem to go unnoticed by others? This could be the work of misophonia, a disorder characterized by the strong dislike of specific sounds like chewing, pen clicking, or breathing. For those with misophonia, these noises provoke reactions far beyond mere annoyance, leading to feelings of anger, anxiety, or even rage. This often misunderstood condition can deeply affect daily life and relationships, making social interactions challenging and isolating.
