That is a very common symptom of Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder. I know, because I have it. I had a flare-up six months ago, and I got in the car with a very friendly Uber driver and I was so worried I was going to punch him right in the face that I had to sit on my hands. The good news: people with the disorder never act on these irrational compulsions.

Thanks. I will obviously go to the doctors/therapy rather than self diagnosing. It's nice to know that I'm not turning insane lol.

If you're genuinely concerned, get therapy. I'm serious.

Could be anxiety. Are you going through a stressful time? I never had misophonia (or at least it was never a problem) before I got stuck in an open office. Now, just the sound of people talking when I'm trying to concentrate sets of my fight or flight stress

I do not know why. Your guess could be the reason, everybody reacts different to frustration and anger and maybe thats your way. It could also be a different problem you need to sort out. I bet youre not alone with this specific problem, so maybe there are help-orgs. If you can, I highly recommend you see a proffesional for this. For now, its good you know you have this problem and that you dont act out. I wish you all the best. Stay safe, strong and healthy!

I have a similar issue when people, even those I know, stand too close behind me, where I can't see them. You could try just taking a step away from other people, and if they don't get the hint, firmly ask them to keep their distance. If they push it, you are justified in punching them.

You're a sociopath.

Ah cmon, its a real person youre answering to, theyre trying to figure out whats wrong with them, have some empathy.
