I'm also not bothered by animal or baby eating noises (thank goodness). Partly I think they're just different sounding, due to the physics of the mouth. But I definitely feel worse when someone is chewing gum loudly vs food, too, because I know with food it will be over eventually and because gum is unnecessary, and people should know better about gum chewing. I don't know whether that's just on the coping end though.
My daughter is 4 and her noises don't bother me yet. There have been times I've noticed her maybe clicking a pen or something and it hasn't triggered my misophonia but it's grabbed my attention in a way that's getting there. I actually still think her eating noises are cute! I wonder when that will change.
Dog snoring bothers me but way less than human.

I think it works on similar pathways. My therapist, I forget what his field is, but the "getting angry" system in the brain basically responds to all stresses and you get into that fight or flight feeling. So if you have ADHD you have a hard time blocking things out. Depression, you may be kind of "fragile" and already be stressed or anxious. Misophonia is similar in (inappropriately) raising that "arousal" system. I say this as someone with misophonia, ADHD, and depression/anxiety so no offense to anyone.

Rebooting SG1 does not seem like a good idea....but a continuation or prequel would be!

What kind of strange behavior? Very curious what other kind of illness it might have been.

Something yellow for friendship maybe.
