'Annoying' sounds vs. Misophonia

For me, it depends on how angry i get.

Annoying noises like yippy dogs, really just hurt my ears / give me a headache more than anything. They’re super annoying but i can tolerate it with ear plugs or something like that.

Chewing type noises make me mad. Like irrationally mad in an extremely short time. Sometimes it feels like a light switch. If i hear anything like it, no matter how quiet, i just get angry.

I have never acted on anything miso related but i do end up leaving if i can’t get it to stop after a while. I have learned how to disassociate myself when i hear the miso related noises. If i don’t go to my “happy place” in my head, i can feel my heart rate increase and all that too.
