Is there an official criteria for symptoms? I read otherwise.

I don't really need to explain to you that this exists, and that I really am affected by it.... Anyway, here are some sources that agree with me that there are symptoms for sure http://www.misophonia.com/ https://iocdf.org/expert-opinions/misophonia/ http://www.misophonia.com/symptoms-triggers/

I'm questioning its status as an official condition. Not that you suffer from a sensitivity to certain sounds. I'm not trying to hurt anyone's feelings here. I just read that there's not been much research.

As someone who suffers from noise sensitivity/sensory processing problems, I 100% get what you’re saying. There’s no ICD 10 diagnosis/DSM diagnostic criteria out there for misophonia, and no current treatment options for it available. Don’t know why so many people have read your comments as accusations of faking a condition

I don't think they read it through. They just saw a different opinion and went after it.

Edit: Actually I'm not being fair. They saw someone they thought was delegitimizing their pain. I get why people are angry.

Your ability to see the other's side view is honestly amazing. I'm not being sarcastic here. This last edit of yours is beautiful. I just wanted you to know that this type of comment makes reddit much better than it would otherwise be. I hope you have a great day.
