Question Obsess about people eating..

When I am around people who are eating I really obsess about the noise of chewing. It is very hard for me to not get mad, and sometimes I yell at the people in my family if they walk by me while chewing on something. Sometimes it is hard even for me to eat because I don't like the sound of my own chewing, and I can never eat without the tv on or having music playing.
I was just wondering if anyone else has this problem with their OCD...

KaTeR,

You sound just like me!!!! I can't stand the noise of people chewing, especially my family. I don't know how they can possibly be unaware that they chew and swallow soooooooo loud!!!

Supper time has gotten to be torture for me, I end up turning the TV up real loud to try to cover their noise, but it doesn't work well. I get really frustrated and mad, too. I just wanna yell, "Shut up!!".

Ever since I was a little kid, I couldn't stand the sound of my mom swallowing, but I didn't realize it was part of my OCD until a few years ago. I just seem to keep getting more and more compusions, but next month I will have insurance and be able to go to a doc.

The only difference between your chewing thing and mine is that my own chewing doesn't bother me. Weird, huh.

Well, I am sooooooooo relieved to know that someone else has this problem. If you ever want to vent about it, I'll be ready to listen. By the way, I'm just curious if you are on any meds or are going to be?

Cupcakes:
"I don't know how they can possibly be unaware that they chew and swallow soooooooo loud!!!" <-- My thoughts exactly!
I am not on any medication right now, but in a couple of weeks I'm moving to my moms and we're going to look into treatments once I get there. Have you ever taken anything, and has it helped with the way you feel about people eating?

Re: Obsess about people eating..

some people have very sensitive hearing, chewing is a perfectly natural noise and I dont see how it could be done any quieter, unless someone is chewing with their mouth open
