Hatred of sound

TRIGGER WARNING: For those with a sensitivity to particular sounds.

From when I was about 5 or 6, my dad, sister and I would sit at the dining table during dinner and practice our multiplication tables.

We did this for a number of years until one day I remember I couldn’t do it anymore, and that was because I started to notice the sounds my dad would make with his mouth during dinner.

These noises didn’t just annoy me, they enraged me and it only became worse as time went on.
