And her single biggest trigger is sniffing. So basically during allergy season she walks around permanently looking like a comic book serial killer - and wonders why she can't make friends.
Mind you - I totally understand how difficult living with the condition must be, and I'm not saying she's "in the wrong". She just refuses to acknowledge that her reaction to her condition *might* put people off just as effectively as the noises put her off - or more so. She constantly complains that people treat her rudely everywhere she goes. THEY ABSOLUTELY DO, lol - because when someone approaches you with the body language and facial expressions she makes because of her misophonia, there is a pretty universal reaction of "well fuck you too".
ANyone else with this condition notice it gets better or worse with verying stress loads? Hers got much better when she was happy and less stressed, and MUCH MUCH worse if she was severely stressed or upset about something already.
