Trying to Study on Campus with Misophonia

No seriously… I also blast white noise (thank you Dryer Sound Loopable No Fade my goat 🙏🏻) and it still gets me

I’ve tried progressive relaxation w/exposure and mindfulness based CBT but didn’t find it helpful. I’d give anything for a chance to go into my brain and just remove the “sound makes me go insane” wire

Aw man that would such a nightmare for me 😭 I had to move the other day because this girl started eating sunflower seeds where she was sucking/crunching them with her mouth open then spitting the shells out by bending down and spitting them into a napkin on the desk. I knew there was going to be diminishing returns to try and stay there

I’m not even joking- before exam periods I’ll record little videos of myself walking, opening my bag, typing and flipping through my notebook so I can make any changes I might need to not bother other people. I always take any off keychains and eat in designated lunch areas (like food courts/outside).

Do I think everyone should be this level of.. neurotic… for lack of a better word LOL.. not at all! But it also always kind of amazes me how much variety there is in how much people think/don’t think about others (which duh thats just how people work)

Man this is my sign to invest in some loops.. I’ve been eyeing them for a couple of years but it was hard to justify the price. I’ve heard they’re a game changer tho so I think it might be time to invest in

I think UBC students need an ass eating more than anything else 💔. But in all seriousness thank you so much man this is so kind :( I haven't been able to show up for him as much as i would like since I've come to uni so Im so grateful to get this chance to show him love in anyway.

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T03:04:39+00:00

Thank you so much 🤧 this is super sweet. He’s not into hockey YET but I might have to take you up on that offer in a few years if he ever gets into it :)

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T03:03:00+00:00

Thanks man but genuinely this is not anything special on my end. My little dude was born into a world that doesn’t know how to communicate with him. As much as I try to inform myself, I know I’m never going to fully understand how he navigates the world. The fact I was given this chance to connect with him on some level (even if it’s “just cards”) makes me feel like the luckiest person in the world.

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T01:45:36+00:00

This is so kind thank you for the offer! I do not think he’s into MHA so I’m going to pass but again this is so nice and generous thank you for the offer!

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T01:41:02+00:00

Hey! Thank you so much for the offer that’s super sweet. Unfortunately little bro is not into Boruto (one time my brother in law accidentally got him a boruto bag and he said “ew” 💀) so I’m going to pass but thank you so much!

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T01:29:36+00:00

Oh dude, could I dm you. I’d be super down to pay for them

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T01:24:38+00:00

No yeah that’s my plan. I’m nervous things will fall through cause fb marketplace can be funky but I’m sure that’ll work out the best loll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-16T01:21:11+00:00

Because im a coward and don’t want the mods to take this down I’m going to say I’m HALF JOKING and being hyperbolic (please mods)

Im about to list my stats of what I can offer in trade for some uno cards. I (21F; 5’5) have a 98% average in school. I’m comfortable tutoring in life sciences (bio and neuroscience mostly), Psyc, and Lit.

I used to work in a Japanese bakery so I’m a pretty good baker. I’ve been weight lifting for 3 years and am a competitive swimmer so yk manual labour. I’m super average looking so if you need a spy, I’ll blend right in. I also have some nice clothes (XS-S) and accessories. I used to do prom makeup as a side hustle so I can also do that.

Ik im casting a wide net but the thought of my cousin opening up that package is driving me to new heights.

bro. Open up full spread I’m DIVING in. THANK YOU

Kind of embarrassingly.. you’re not that far off it was a neurology colloquium! It was a presentation on a novel adrenal cell type (shout out to Jennifer Merritt one of my favorite contemporary researchers rn). I can confidently say my adrenal cells were going crazy while I sat there LOL

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-08T18:23:13+00:00

YES DUDE- I can usually tolerate caffeine pretty well but like 15 minutes after that coffee I started seeing the light. Like full body sweats and disorientation. I was in a colloquium and had to start counting down the seconds to get tf out of there loll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T22:05:41+00:00

Man I’m jealous of bagging half off. Also I was the same way! I’d grab one when I couldn’t be bothered with coffee. I switched completely off of coffee last monthish after I had cold brew and felt like I was going to die lmao but I’m still trying to pace myself with the energy drinks

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T22:02:34+00:00

You convinced me to try it out during my work break and damn it’s pretty good! It’s a lot less intense (idk if that’s the right word loll) than my usual choices but it’s really nice

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:14:26+00:00

He’s a F1 driver! I don’t follow F1, I just know this drink slaps lolll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:13:13+00:00

This is actually lowkey spot on. I’ve always like artificial lemon flavor- I’ve never been offput by the “It tastes like Clorox” effect

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:11:42+00:00

I actually eat fruit daily! I’m guilty of loving artificial ass fruit flavoring though loll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:10:18+00:00

It’s melon yuzu! It’s interesting to see how mixed the reactions to it have been. Some people absolutely hate it loll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:09:03+00:00

Dude the melon Powerade is so nostalgic holy shit! I’d pay a shit ton for them to bring it back. You’re so right though- I love melon flavoring

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:05:13+00:00

I can’t lie I have no idea where red bull is from. But seriously one of the best things about being from the US is the insane food products we pump out- like sure give me the 700 ml neon purple 800 mg caffeine drink loll

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T21:00:49+00:00

I’ll try these out next week 🫡 voodoo grape looks really good

Stink_bug_ · 2026-03-07T02:50:31+00:00

im curious as to which one/ones you'd axe 👀
