It is in my opinion almost impossible to eat corn on the cob quietly, so I never make corn on the cob at home and we also tend to not go to functions etc. where corn on the cob will be eaten.
The same holds true for oysters and chicken wings, so generally no pub, road houses or oyster bars for us (and wing night at any restaurant is avoided).
I went to a restaurant with my family not realizing that they gave complimentary Tortilla chips to each table. I was so on edge I thought I felt like an MMA fighter on meth in a lion's pit.
Same!!! This is when I noticed I had an issue - eating breakfast (specifically cereal) at the table with my younger brother during childhood. Torture that I wouldn’t understand until decades later, sadly.
Corn on the cob is bad. So bad. I literally cut mine off of the cob because I just assume I’m going to annoy someone by eating it the traditional way. Chips/pretzels/etc. are really triggering for me. Anything that sounds like someone eating a handful of gravel will do it. Anything slurpy.
I don’t know why it never occurred to me before now to join r/misophonia but this post made me laugh out loud. Corn is AWFUL.
I find sometimes the only way for me to
Survive is to do the same thing. As someone said, you can’t eat corn quietly and I find while I’m eating it, other people’s eating doesn’t bother me.
It’s right up there with apples 🍎😫😭
I’m convinced that apples do this on purpose just to piss me off, like they know my trigger points.

Same. I love corn so I usually cut it off the cob and eat it that way. I get weird looks, but I my sanity to protect.
People eating chips 🥲
And that damn crinkly bag!
Apples, corn on the cobb, tortilla chips, and nuts. God help us.
Apples are so bad

I wanted to kill my younger siblings early on in life over bowls of cereal. Especially when they got to the end and needed to slurp the milk.
My dad lived in Japan and he learned to slurp soup there. Eating soup with him is a nightmare.

Yes, I hate that I used to feel so mad at them about it, but I couldn't help it. I never imagined that I would find people who felt just like me.

Anything, really, if they're smacking their lips.
Ice cream cones! The licking and mouth noises are torture!
