8 Irritating Noises That Drive You Insane

I don't know about you guys, but I have an unusual amount of pet peeves. I don't know if it is a problem or if there is just something wrong with me, but any sort of bodily noise or just annoying noises in general drive me legitimately crazy. Turns out IT'S A REAL THING. I googled it, because my family got really tired of me telling them to shut up or close their mouthes, and turns out its called misophonia, and I definitely have it.

Misophonia is literally the "hatred of sound" and you generally have strong negative feelings, thoughts, and physical reactions to specific sounds. If you are with me, these list of things will definitely remind you of somethings you wanted to jump out the window.

1. Chewing with your mouth open/ crunching loudly/ smacking.

This, right here, is hands down the worst, most aggravating one. This one really boils my blood. Something about the sounds the mouth can make is just... ugh let's stop talking about it.

2. The sound of a phone alarm during the day.


That sound is horrifying and brings back bad memories man.

3. Someone clicking their pen.


Can you please not.

4. Agressive typing.


People are so obnoxious I swear.

5. Rustling of papers/ opening of chip bags.


I'm gonna flip.

6. People tapping their feet/ shaking their legs.

I will not be able to concentrate on anything if I have to watch your leg shaking uncontrollable, please contain that.

7. Hummers/ whistlers


Don't you just kinda wanna hit that guy? La de da shut up.

8. Sniffles


Constantly want to hand the sniffling kid in class a tissue.


Well, if you're anything like me, just thinking about those 8 things drove you insane. It kinda sucks, I know, and you don't want to be rude to people and yell at them to stop. But you can at least think these things right? At least you now know that theres someone with ya...

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
