some people do well with religion I respect that, I was a Christian first 18 years of my life, non-religious people would ask me what about this and that, but I always had something to answer until later questioning myself and one can't lie themselves! when I became non-religious I started being open minded, like Nate's example of Homo-sexual people, I found myself respecting more types of people than before and I was really proud of myself!
I’ve called my boyfriend a “sensory nightmare” in terms of sounds he makes and I’m worried for us tbh. Didn’t realize I had sensory issues or misophonia until dating him. But he’s lovely and understanding. Idk. Hope we can work something out
I know i'm super late to comment but: ear defenders and sleep ear plugs are great in situatons where you need noises to sound less harsh or only drown out the quiet noises. For example if a teacher is talking to a quiet classroom and i put my ear defenders on i can hear the teacher less but i can't hear people writing and the sirens 3 streets away. They're also great for keeping a level head fir slightly longer periods of time to get out of triggering situations. Hope that helps someone :)
I know someone already said it but FINALLY a video showing a realistic small one! Small is wildly different to what I consider a step in to a child's shoe box! 🙏🏾😊 Thanks!
I know why it doesn’t bother me when I do it but it does when others do. I know I can stop it, whereas I have the fear they’ll keep doing it if I ask them to stop
Are you guys still together? Did misophonia tear you apart? My partner of two years has misophonia and it's absolutely brutal. I'm nearing the end of my rope, honestly. I do everything I can to not make the trigger noises but it's never enough.
I'm kind of a love guru 😂😂 so don't ask me why but I feel like you know how couples do cooking lessons and painting lessons, I feel like you guys should take dance/acting/movement classes together as a team. I feel like yall would enjoy it.
am i the only one who kinda thinks the dude is saying mmmhmmmm with an attitude? like hes sick of hearing this and just wants her to shut up? his mmmmmhmmmm-ing is buggin me now. i have misophonia too sarah, im sorry, i feel you big time.
nate and Sarah you two are hope for the future where race does not play a part us coming together as one Sarah and nate keep going don't stop you ate the future
I have misophonia too! My partner wants me to do therapy of some sort, most recently he suggested psilocybin therapy. My sister has is too and has tried hypnosis and other therapies to no avail. I’m not sure what to do! Huge relationship issue.
Ugh I’m so sorry you have it too! It’s definitely a big challenge. I’ve never tried therapy for it but definitely interested. It’s so hard to find understanding people, I’ve definitely been able to cushion things with some tools. AirPods, wax earplugs for sleeping, Loops earplugs for events, playing music or a show while my nate and I eat together, Nate will sit between me and anyone who we know is difficult for me to be around, and having excuses at the ready if I need to step away from people that are making sounds that are to difficult for me to handle. Hope some of that helps! -Sarah
@@sarahnate853 Thanks! Your experience sounds next-level. My eating sounds aversion is almost exclusively linked to people I’m close to, which is weird. My misophonia is mostly related to that. But still hard to manage, especially since my partner LOVES eating and cooking for people. The fact that eating is a huge trigger for me is very distressing to him. My misophonia actually started when I was about 11 when my sister pointed out how disgustingly my parents ate! Sounds awful, I know. She would glare at me and then glare at them and then slam her utensils on the table. My sister was about 9. We had a lot of family problems so eating and tension/anxiety became inextricably linked for me. White noise (especially the stove exhaust fan) works best for me but it’s a daily battle.
