I'm the same, and I have a friend who loudly smacks his lips when eating, it's insufferable. To make matters worse, whenever we meet it's usually over some kind of meal, so I am at a loss for what to do.
- goldenkey 5y agoThe longer you wait, the more of an ability they have to come back with some riposte about how long you've been bottling it up. Just confront them, and laugh it off nonchalantly if they try to reason their way out of the clearly foul habit.
- StavrosK 5y agoI tried that but they took it as a joke :/ Now they'll sometimes make fun of me (in a good-natured way) about hating chewing sounds, and to complain about it "formally" would be too serious/offputting.
- goldenkey 5y agoI figured this kind of thing would happen. You had to double down at that point. Now all you can really do is a passive aggressive attack like putting on airbuds or earplugs to bait a decent debate with them. This will only work if they aren't an immoral person. Honestly, something as simple as unwillingness to admit flaws and change, is a fair reason to cut and run. Shooting the shit is fun, but if you actually value the friendship then these things come into play.
