Struggle getting close to people

I have a problem with my Misophonia where I won’t notice certain triggers they have until I get to a certain point of closeness with them. I started having this problem yesterday with my friend. We’ve gotten closer over the last two months and I just started noticing how she eats and it’s very triggering for me even how she drinks. I don’t know if you guys would have any tips on how to deal with this, I tried to limit eating and also put music on, but it’s a temporary fix.

It’s making me very frustrated and upset because I just wanna have normal friendships without feeling tense and shutting down when I get triggered, the only way I’ve been able to stop excessive negative reaction is by basically shutting down my body and not saying anything.
