people treat it as if it is their problem and tell you to just 'tune out'
that's not how it works, it's literally like your brain automatically focusses in on it. there is no tuning out. when you hear a trigger that's all you can think about, the sound and getting away form it.
then the casual dismissal. I guess I can't blame people because it is a very alien idea to them, they just don't get that it isn't 'annoying' it's...rage inducing. it drives you to punch something...activating the flight or flight response.
if you have friends, family or loved ones with #misophonia, please give respect. It's not just your problem. However much inconvenience you think it causes you, you have no idea.
