Just for me... If you are giving a talk this year, can you practice drinking water without making giant gulps and big sighs? This is a me thing, if you work with me you know, eating/drinking talking while eating? All no.. but just bailed on a video of a talk just on the water drinking... just me? - ThreadSky

Whenever I talk for like more than 5-10 minutes my throat gets congested and I have to sip some water *however* I do so very quietly, no gulping or ahhhhs.

In my field, one of the main guys who writes and maintains the industry standard software does webinars about all the latest developments (point being: you have to watch them) and the whole thing is mouth sounds 👄👅🎙️ It's so upsetting.

feel for you

Here’s a great podcast episode about the subject: https://www.alieward.com/ologies/misophonology

Not just you, this kills me

rileyj.me•145 days ago

That sounds like misophonia, quite common. A friend of mine has it with chewing ice specifically.

rileyj.me•145 days ago

Come to think of it, I have some version of it too: When people smack their lips while talking, that kind of wet smacking sound? Ironically from dry lips/mouth, but 🤢

elhector.bsky.social•145 days ago

I’m the same, it’s been an issue forever when sharing food with loved ones even, I always need background music/noise to mask those sounds.

Misophonia is a real thing ☹️

Yeah I had to take a break watching slow horses just because of Gary Oldman's eating...

elhector.bsky.social•145 days ago

He is the worst yes! 😅
Amazing acting, a little too good even.

Out of interest & a genuine question:
How bad was the scene of Denethor eating tomatoes in Lord of the Rings for you?
Could you get through it?

This one:

Chet Faliszek is anti-mukbang got it

the big gulps make me insane

naam.bsky.social•145 days ago

...for me, perhaps not to the point of bailing out, but: yeah! I go from 'ah the speaker needs water bless them' to 'GEEZ dude don't make a SCENE out of it good grief how I hates you now!'

mouthsounds can be so unnerving : \

kiwiarts42.bsky.social•145 days ago

Definitely I end up bailing or taking my headphones off for a minute because it's so overestimating to hear

burgnerking.bsky.social•145 days ago

Tay Zonday knew what was up. He moved away from the mic to breathe in. If only our contemporaries could be so wise.

couchradish.bsky.social•145 days ago

You’re not alone on that. My fiancée cannot STAND the sound of chewing and drinking.
