I already commented, but after going through the other comments I realized nobody’s brought up one of the worst offenders - the sounds of eating. The squishing, chewing noises, the lips smacking, even the “ahhh” that soda commercials include whenever somebody takes a drink. It makes my skin crawl and can even make me irrationally angry.
A lot of ASMR also triggers me. It’s creepy and unsettling to hear a close up recording of someone whispering. I can’t explain it, I know it’s not rational, but there’s something about it that makes me deeply uncomfortable. I simply can’t wrap my head around how people can find that sort of sound pleasant.
Yup. I could kill in cold blood the person I love most for this. ASMR is already terrible, but the sound of chewing downright transforms me. I know one person who has it as bad as I do, we are very similarly brained, if that makes any sense. I’d love to make sense of it but when science itself has so few clues…
