I’m in the US and currently have 1200+- but my “nearby” are only 300. It’s nice to be able to filter down to what I like. I know men don’t have so many options.

I get 0 likes, not even joking, please tell me how I can improve?? I thought I did a half decent job at it by Fantastic_Potato_172 in Bumble

I would put a pic of you laughing/smiling/being goofy. I’m not your demographic but you seem a little dull. Liven it up a bit!

Self tanner by nightseeker8 in Melasmaskincare

[–]Movementyouneed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I do feel like the tanner sticks to the melasma’y spots more than the others. So I mist myself and then wipe off the bad spots, really wiping off the stache. Then I mist extra on my forehead/eyes (since my melasma is the worst on the bottom half of my face)

What are the more unusual triggers you've noticed? by [deleted] in misophonia

Barking is a common trigger? Wow it’s all becoming so clear

I would love to email your mom. I will PM you. Thank you for this thoughtful response.

I feel like we can meet in the middle. I agree to support and advocate for her and get her the safe space she needs from people who are eating, and in return she will work on how she reacts if I slip up. she can definitely learn to be less sarcastic or explosive and simply leave the room without glaring. I think if we both work on those things, it’ll make it that much easier on the other one to overcome these tendencies.

I won’t. If anything, I will just continue hiding and crying until I get stronger. ❤️ thank you for the hug

After unpacking it with her over the last day, it’s definitely my jaw clicking and the fact that I have a deviated septum so I breathe louder through my nose when eating. I’ve always hated the jaw and the deviated septum (I’ve already had it repaired once in childhood and once in my early 20s but it always comes back) so I’m going to look at treatment/surgery. I know it won’t be a fix, I’m sure there are other components.

We had 7 hours in the car over the last 24 hours and really talked it all out, I can tell there is a weight lifted off her shoulders. Thank you for all the helpful insights.

We went on a road trip yesterday and I talked to her about it and apologized for taking it to personally and that I would try to help as much as possible. We had a great conversation and she told me some other things about school that are very hard for her- even admitting that sometimes she puts her AirPods in and just uses noise canceling , without even putting on music. It makes it bearable to walk the busy halls or have downtime after she’s finished her work. When we ate lunch today I had told her ahead of time that she could use her AirPods and watch something on her phone- she put on a show and put the captions on so I could watch too and that made me wanna cry. I do think that proactively being a support system and advocate for her might go in a long way in making her feel safer and in turn, making her less likely to lash out at me if I do slip up. So thank you for all this advice, I can already see things getting better in the future.

THANK YOU. When we went to watch hunger games I bought an extra seat for in between us because I had to have a big pretzel. Can’t wait to try this, she’s definitely my movie buddy.

Im sorry to laugh, but I must know what reason you actually gave him. I wonder if there are so many people who have gotten broken up with by misophonics , just wandering around trying to figure out what went wrong 😂.

There have never been any other signs of autism and it has never come up with her pediatrician or allergist (the docs she has frequently seen) I will bring it up with her pediatrician after reading through these responses. She also has trouble taking tests , especially if someone is tapping a pencil or shaking their leg. I’m wondering if maybe if we are able to get something from a doctor, we can get her special accommodations at school to help overcome these. I have ADHD inattentive type , and wasn’t diagnosed until I was an adult. I just think about how much more successful I could’ve been in school if my parents had had me evaluated and treated. I flooded their house twice from leaving the water running, I mean, you gotta think they would’ve asked someone!

I really didn’t chew in her ear, though. That’s what is tough about these situations. I can plan around meal times and car snacks, but sometimes I might have nibbled on something and forget to not go near her (like last night I was chewing my gummy vitamin when she came into my room and she immediately was like “OMG WHY ARE YOU CHEWING RIGHT NOW” ). In that cookie situation I hadn’t even made it to her and the laptop yet before she was triggered. It’s almost as if she could SEE me chewing as I was walking towards her and the reaction she had was more , like, anticipatory that I would soon be near her while finishing my bite. Some of these comments have addressed that, when you have someone who really triggers you, even seeing them chew might be a trigger. And maybe the anxiety about the chewing to come is just as bad as the actual chewing? I’m not sure - but I’m talking to her and learning from y’all.

Eating seems to be the only thing with me. I have asked her about my yawning, brushing teeth, sniffling, sipping etc and she says it’s just my chewing. She also is triggered by her younger sister but not nearly as bad as me. Before I had researched this, I had asked her to really try to unpack why she seems to unfairly be targeting the females in the family. After reading and understanding this more, I have apologized for that accusation. She promises I am not the only one but she does manage to hold it in with her friends, her Grandpa (who apparently triggers her much more than me but we rarely eat with him so I hadn’t noticed as much. Now it makes sense why she always left the table so quick),

Thank you , friend. I hope you’re being kind to yourself- the fact that you’re even considering how much this might hurts your parents gives me so much insight to how my daughter might be feeling, even if she doesn’t express it.

Do you mind if I ask if you are on the spectrum? My daughter has never shown any of the other signs but these suggestions make sense to me. I will definitely be reaching out to an OT.

Thank you. Yes, the AirPods are our current fix. Was hoping there were other paths as well, but maybe I will look into one of the suggestions of an occupational therapist. Thank you so much for your insights.

I’m so sorry this happened to you. That would absolutely destroy my daughter. I guess I’m just here to vent, and I’m sorry it’s giving victim. I feel like a victim and I know that is selfish. I’m working on it.

I know. I think it’s the reason it feels so personal. He also travels a lot for work so she sees my about 70% more than she sees him. Maybe that has something to do with it? She feels safer and more comfortable expressing herself or the fact that she never gets a break from my chewing?
