. I already have some anxiety and ocd, yet the last couple years the sound of my parents eating their food drives me mad. I’m not talking eye rolling teenager mad, I’m talking crying and running away mad. I get very aggressive and the only thing that makes it better is telling them to shut up and being very rude. They get very upset with me but they don’t understand how I can’t control it. They are notoriously loud eaters to begin with but don’t do anything to eat less loudly, in fact I think they do it on purpose now because they think it’s going to make us get over it but it’s not. The same thing happens to my little sister but they just tell us to shut up. There is no known cure it seems but it’s driving me insane. Other noises don’t bother me unless I’m super sick or upset; it’s generally just body noises mostly eating liquids foods.

Can You and your Sister sit somewhere else too eat. Your Parents may then take the hint

OH boy I have the same problem, I always tell them to stop lol. Or when my mom eats a candy she literally sucks on the thing and it makes me cringe
My gosh I used to hate that sound as well. I used to think they can't even eat properly. Total animals! But as time went by and I decided to focus more on the love, the thing with the chewing stopped. And in fact I began to realize I was probably doing things too which were driving other people mad. It's just the way it is. Focus on the positives and eventually certain things will stop troubling you, I promise.
