After I mentioned my misophonia in the Target candy aisle video last night, several people asked me to do a video on tips for coping with misophonia. In this video, I attempt to describe misophonia. It's difficult to do, much like ASMR, because it's not a well-known phenomenon, most people don't seem to experience it, and they can't relate to it when you try to explain it to them. Then, we'll talk about a few of the coping techniques that I've been using for the past 30+ years. It's a miserable thing, misophonia. Keep in mind that you're not alone, though! We're banded together in our misery! :(
To listen while using other apps, switch the player to Picture-in-Picture (PiP) during playback — it keeps playing in a small floating window (the screen stays on).
To listen with the screen fully off, in-browser playback stops by YouTube's design. Open the video in the YouTube app to keep listening where background playback is supported (e.g. with YouTube Premium).
