    I once got lectured by my dad how I’m the one being selfish and entitled, and how I try to restrict his freedom and comfort during family time, when I tell him to watch videos on mute, or get himself ear plugs, this was in a hotel restaurant might I add.

    Jesus fucking christ, the level of anger I felt took me all the way back to being a teenager, I was very close to throwing a tantrum and going to my room without eating.

      EXACTLY! YOU GET IT EXACTLY

      like, I know somehow that if ol pappy was my age in this time, he’d be on my side about this. I can feel it in my bones.

      But he’s ancient now so him and the kids both try to blast whatever stupid video they come across and wonder why anyone would object to having their ears violated.

      And don’t even get me started if I somehow hear a FUCKING AD??! In 2024?

        oh also, if you feel similar emotions because of different sounds as well you might have misophonia, there’s no cure lol, but it’s good knowing you’re not in this alone
