Never thought that I might deal with this. Someone suggested that if I were able to manage my anxiety better this would reduce as well. I get overwhelmed easily and this is a big cause for lack of focus, or so I think?
A couple of things:
I don't like being touched. Whether that's a handshake or pat on the shoulder. Unless you indicate you're going to give me a hug or shake my hand (meaning I'm aware), I will flinch. People tend to think I was abused because of that, which isn't the case. I also get spooked pretty easily.
I take the headphones out of my ears for maybe 4 hours at most in a day. Cannot tolerate hearing too many sounds. The sound of family members voices annoy me, silverware banging against plates, loud television volume and certain noises.
Although I love music I can't focus with it playing through my ears if there's an important assignment I'm trying to get done and am anxious. I need complete silence, which is hard to come by.
Either I will get distracted, grow irritable or will go lay down in the dark. I know I need to grow use to going without music and feeling more able to ignore things.
Do you deal with this? What helps you? I've no idea why my ears are so sensitive. Do you think reducing anxiety will help?
