How OP describes it sounds exactly like the description of being annoyed, which everyone experiences. It appears that people with Misophonia are not just annoyed, that actually have a panic attack or mental breakdown.
No I think you misunderstand what Misphonia is. If you look at videos and read articles, victims don't
always react the same way or have panic attacks or mental breakdowns. Sometimes they react with extreme emotional anger or can be put to tears, but that's not necessarily a direct affect of misophonia. That's just their reaction to it.
Misophonia makes it so that background noises that are normally not annoying, seem unignorable and are extremely irritating. Along with that it can, like I said, physically bother your nerves. When that all suddenly happens at once with little to no way of escape, of course people are going to react with rage and sometimes break down, it's a very intense experience. I don't doubt that a lot of people that believe they have it are exaggerating and really don't, in fact I'm sure of it. But I know I have this. What I experience is not normal
This is directed at Ceist and Fred too btw
Also I'm getting rid of the poll since there's a bunch of people complaining that everyone is going to claim to have this -_-
