I have an abnormal anxiety of the sound of chewing. I can deal with
it in public, but not in private with my family (the only ones who
know about it). Also I cannot stand gum chewing, when in public
places and I see someone chewing gum, I'll go out of my way to avoid
that person. I hate being stuck on a bus or airplane near someone
chewing gum. It makes me very anxious, although not a panic attack, I
am extremely on edge and annoyed.
Am I the only one out there like this. Sometimes I feel as though it
is controlling my life. I am not able to have normal relationships
with women.
Any advice would be great, but I am really just looking for support.

Thanks
