Loud sneezing or making sounds while eating makes me go mad. What to do in such situations without making anyone feel embarrassed?

From how this reads, it seems as if you are experiencing social anxiety from triggers stemming from your personal preferences. We all have our idiosyncrasies, and many people enjoy eating in a quiet setting; however, sometimes that is an impossibility with with which we must deal. Have you thought about why you react the way you do to these noises? How do you react when this happens (i.e., what does "makes me go mad" mean?)? Where (location) and how often do you notice loud sounds? Aside from loud sneezing, what other noises cause your feelings? And have you tried anything to help mitigate these feelings (i.e., talking to family / friends - in the moment and/ or after), breathing, focus exercises, etc.)? Sharing meals in a public place is a good activity to meet people and share culture, banter, and anything that fits your fancy. Sneezing, too, is one of those things that happens; there is a "polite" way to sneeze in public, and even then, it may be unpleasant. Without more, it is hard to frame or contextualize the issue. It sounds as if this is a regular occurrence, and unless someone is intentionally sneezing on you or making abnormally loud noises close to you (both of which could be resolved with a conversation), it is a tricky situations could have an underlying cause that is something much larger, so it would be prudent to talk to a certified counselor to help identify root causes, triggers, and coping mechanisms. Continuing this discussion on this level would constitute medical advice.

Sometimes I have the same situation. For example, when I sleep, my roommate is eating, which is really annoying，At that time, I put on my headphones and listen to music. This situation may also be because you hate that person. So it is normal, I think we can find a way to distract ourselves from these sounds. Such as thinking about some other interesting things. Or it will be ok if you tell that person about that politely. Most people will understand it and then pay attention to it. There are some other similar situations, such as people next to or behind shake their legs. And at that time I will talk to that person. I hope this helps some.

First thing is first, please don't make an ugly face towards the person. Sometimes there is no self control on how someone can chew. If you feel that the sound of someone chewing on their food is a bit disturbing, put some headphones on. If there isn't any headphones near by, try distracting yourself with something else around your surrounding. I know personally there was a time where I couldn't fully close my mouth due to a facial Paralysis and I would catch myself chewing loud and opened mouthed. It wasn't something that I wanted to do but it just couldn't be controlled. I am pretty sure there is something about yourself that you know there is nothing you can do to avoid it happening. Why judge someone who experiences the same thing? Just keep going on with your day and let everyone else continue with theirs.

Try to Observe yourself next time when you are in such a situation or try to create it yourself by making sounds if sometime you are eating alone. The sound is making you remember some experience you may not be consciously unaware of. Once you are aware, you will be in a better position to handle it. You can also try to figure out the reason for your reaction by meditating. Take few deep breaths, concentrate on your breathing for couple of minutes. Imagine that someone is sneezing or making loud noises and see the anger bubbling inside. Observe what thoughts are going on in your mind. Hope this helps.

It sounds like it is misophonia :) In those cases, I try to self-sooth, and remind myself that the person making the noises likely doesn't mean to be so loud or be upsetting. That usually helps a bit, but if not, I would either quietly excuse myself from the situation and take some deep breathes, see if there is an opportunity to play some music or the tv in the background while eating, but most importantly, if you have trust in the person who is making the sounds, I believe it is a good idea to communicate how you are feeling, explaining that it's something medical that can be difficult to cope with. Most compassionate people will be understanding and try to eat more quietly. Often just speaking about it helps

Take some time to reflect and ask yourself when was the last time you felt like this outside of a similar situation. Is it really because of the noise or is it something else that caused you to feel mad? And if it is not because of the noise, what happened back then that made you remember about this feeling of you being mad? How do you feel about it and how does it relate to your current situation? Lastly, ask yourself: what do you do now? Would you want to be mad every time someone sneezes loudly or make sounds while eating? If no, how would you like to go about this?

Try to take a deep breath when you come into this type of situation. You may feel angry about it but you need to know that the other person isn't doing this intentionally. Try to set the example and make sure you yourself are finishing your food before speaking. It is possible that that could help the other person realize that what they are doing isn't exactly acceptable in most situations. Lead by example, monkey see monkey do is used in situations such as these. If you get very irritated try leaving the table and taking a step back.

I am bothered by loud noises during eating too and I know that It can be quite frustrating. Unfortunately, we don't have control over what other people do or do not do. If I don't feel comfortable with speaking to the person, I try to distract myself with positive thoughts or remove myself from the situation. If I know the person well, I share with them how I feel and let them know that they are not doing anything wrong and I would appreciate if they are mindful of the way they eat. The sneezing part unfortunate is rarely in anyone's control.

For me, I think its always been farting in public. I have IBS, and its difficult to eat anything without passing gas right away. Its been a life long struggle for me, and a sore spot at dinner parties or in a private or romantic situation. I'm not sure how someone could comment on another person farting without embarrassment, however, nonacusatory comments are always a winner. The best thing to do if someone makes noise while eating or something annoying, In my opinion, is to pull them aside or wait for everyone to leave and then mention the problem in a sensitive way.

It's important to understand your aversions to certain sounds. Some people have difficulty processing sensory information, and in your case it could be a hypersensitivity to auditory stimuli, especially if you're on the autism spectrum. Ask your doctor about this. There are techniques to reduce the impact of this facet of neurodiversity on your daily life. When dealing with situations when you find yourself disturbed by stimuli you can't handle, respectfully state it or try to remove yourself. Remember, respecting other people yet asserting your needs is the way to go. Most people will understand if you do have a sensory processing impairment. Wearing sound-blocking headphones can be a solution. Stay strong!
