I can't stand others eating an apple, but I can eat one without and issues. The same behavior holds true for playing with loose coins or cellophane wrappers.

How do you react to eating an apple yourself?
- Lukman 10y agoYeah, doesn't bother me. Never bothered by the sound of my own eating.
- i2shar 10y agoThat's right - I don't feel anything when I am eating myself, or even when I am at a lunch table with others munching with me. It's only when I am not the one eating. I also get irritated when I am on the phone and the person at the other end is chewing or lapping. Also, I don't think it's cultural and I suspect it might be hereditary.
- E6300 10y agoInteresting. What if you listen to a recording of yourself eating? While you're at if see how much you can distort it before it stops or starts to bother you. E.g. Played backwards, at double speed, half speed, etc.
- Belphemur 10y agoI think I suffer from the same symptoms, but weirdly enough, if I'm at table and I got food, there is no problem. Even if I finish first and the other are still eating, it's really only when I didn't eat / not eating that it infuriate me.
