I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input. Sometimes - it depends on what it is.
Other people's moods affect me. Yes - especially if they are negative moods - angry, stressful - things like that.
I find myself needing to withdraw during busy days,into bed or into a darkened room or any place where I can have some privacy and relief from stimulation. I do - I disliked it when we travel because hotels don't offer any real privacy for me. There is no place I can get away to. It is also the time where we are around the most crowds, noise and stress.
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises. I startle easily. Sometimes. I would rather have it quiet - though sometimes I play music somewhat loud - when I am cleaning.
My nervous system sometimes feels so frazzled that I just have to go off by myself.
I make a point to avoid violent movies and TV shows. Well - I like to watch some shows where they catch the bad guys - but where there is a lot of gore and bad violence - no.
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes. Yes - I am. I like it pretty quiet and still. Too much constant noise might even bring on an attack - because it will stress me out.
When I was a child, my parents or teachers seemed to see me as sensitive or shy. Yes - I was very shy.
