Hi! I'm Sapphire Ohara, if you didn't know my name and I'm also known as AesthetixTurtle or Aesthetically, the author of 'My Life' and 'Three'.
Today, I'm going to be writing about something different. Probably something you've never heard of.
I am a person with something called 'Misophonia'. If you haven't heard anything about it I suggest you look it up on the internet before you read this.
Misophonia, meaning 'hatred of sound' is what I have experienced in my life (I still have it though :P). It is where people like me, get angry at people who make certain sounds. It could be sounds like tapping, sneezing, shuffling and things like that.
It's not only sounds, some people also get angry at certain movements such as hair twirling, foot dragging, tapping feet and snapping fingers. If you don't know what I mean by 'angry' this is an example:
I was sitting with my family, watching a movie. Halfway through the movie my sister started tapping her fingers on the couch. When she tapped her fingers on the couch, I felt anxious, impatient and annoyed. My parents and other siblings didn't seem to be bothered by that movement/sound at all.
Okay, so you probably still don't really understand Misophonia. If you do, you can continue to the next chapter/day. If you don't, these are some websites I suggest you to look at about Misophonia:
Website 1: http://www.misophonia.com/symptoms-triggers/
Website 2: http://www.webmd.com/mental-health/what-is-misophonia
--------------------------------------------------
So, this chapter/day probably contains a lot of things that you didn't know about me. Yes, my real name is Sapphire but I won't be using that name much in my stories.
If any of you have Misophonia, you probably understand how I feel everytime the sound/movement starts to happen. REALLY ANNOYING, am I right?
Anyways, thank you for reading!
