[quote=Anonymous]I'm 36 (I got lost and wound up here) and have always been sensitive to noise. It frays my nerves. A high-pitched beeping noise? Terrible. Loud noise in a clothing store? I leave. I've always been this way since I was little (my parents had to worn me before turning on a vacuum or food processor) and always pushed it away and tried to force myself to not react to the noise. Now that I'm older and know there are things like Aspergers and Highly Sensitive People (I would not be surprised if I'm both) I pay more attention to the noises and move away from them rather than letting them drive me crazy. I literally feel my blood pressure go up and my heartrate rise and my breathing pattern changes when things get too loud. [/quote]
