Is being 18 too late to start having the first symptoms of misophonia?
not at all, it can happen at any age and we still don’t have a cause. last theory I heard was that genetics makes it more likely for you to develop it but are not solely deciding. like I know of whole families of misophonics. most people seem to have at least one or two relatives with it, aunt/uncle/cousin/grandparent. some people seem to be the only ones in their families.
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ we don’t know much, but we do know that no, 18 is not too late. it’s common to develop it when you’re a young teen/preteen, but there are reports of people getting it at seriously all ages.
