We all love food. Unfortunately, some of us are so excited about eating that we devour good food with no concern for our surroundings and those around us.
Yes, we’re looking at you, loud chewers.
Those who have Misophonia (a condition where one is angered by certain sounds) will be able to relate to this. Imagine being in the middle of an exciting movie in the cinema, only to have your experience interrupted by the sounds of a man loudly chewing on popcorn!
Well, before you write people with Misophonia off as stressed-out individuals, read this—they could be geniuses! According to a study by the University of Amsterdam, people with Misophonia are constantly coming up with ingenious ways to block out the annoying sounds, leading them to develop more creative thinking skills. As such, there is a strong link between the condition and the development of above-average intelligence!
So, are you a genius in the making?
