I can't stand the noise people make when
eating/chewing. It is a horrible
anxiety/phobia to have, it effects every
aspect of life. Has anyone heard of this
before, know of anybody. I have been to
several doctors and none of them really
knew what to think of it or how to treat
it.
Any suggestions

I never knew this to affect someone as a
phobia or anxiety?! I hate certain
noises, but it is not enough to frighten
me or really send me running for my life.
I hate when people crackle a chip bag or
grocery bag. I hate when people tap their
spoon or fork against the bowl or plate
and I cannot stand when people chew with
their mouths open and smack gum or food!
It irritates me like no tomorrow. I
really can't suggest much except that
maybe you should look it up on the
internet some more. Go to a search
engine....Google,ask jeeves,etc. Go to
the library and check out some books on
phobias and see if this is listed
anywhere?! Good luck!

lol.. Sometimes I can't stand that noise
but the noise that I really can't stand is
snoring.. I have a hard time sleeping
with anybody because of it and the nights
I do sleep with my bf...I just happen to
sleep before him and I have earplugs in
and can't hear it. I really don't know
what you can do about it.. Sorry I can't
help anymore than that.

After getting into yet another arguement
with my mum about this exact phobia I
decided I would look it up on google and
came across this forum. I joined this
site so I could post a reply to this
thread. I need to find a way of sorting
this out. I have a fear of eating noises
too. It drives me absolutley crazy. I
feel like i'm going insane. I got so
frustrated and angry and upset when I hear
somebody crunching/slurping/gulping. It's
been happening for a few years now to the
point where I have to leave the room when
I know somebody is about to eat crisps or
an apple. I need to do something about
it. Help please.

I Hate Eating With People Posted: 07-04-07 18:08pm
I hate eating with people and I have never
heard of any kind of name for the
phobia---or just plain the hate of it! I
hate the noises and watching and if I am
not eating, I cannot stand to be with
people who are eating. My son--age 30--
actually is the same way and people just
do not understand why we hate being around
eating of food! What is it? I hate hearing
clearing the throat over and over and over
again also. Does any one understand me? I
feel bad that I hate it so much, but I
just can't stand it! I have to leave the
room, it makes me CRAZY! I can't stand
being around a cretain loved one becuae he
clears his throat over and over and
over---no kidding---10 times a minute. I
hate it so bad!

I just wrote that I have the very same
hate of listening to people eat food.
It really is the most horrible phobia, if
that is what it is. I feel bad that I hate
eating with loved ones. And I mentioned
that I hate hearing clearing of throat
over and over and over again. I had to
ride in a car with a peson who cleared his
throat every 3 seconds---no kidding and it
was loud. I almost wanted to kill myself
it was so horrible. I felt like it was
abuse even. What is wrong with me? I am
intersted to learn about others who share
my hate! Do you hate any other kind of
noises, like clearing the throat---maybe
it is the repetitiveness of it--eating and
the throat thing.But what can we do? The
noise lasts so long---over and
over---crunch crunch---etc.
