Hm...This is interesting.
I am easily overwhelmed by strong sensory input. Sometimes, noise especially.
Other people's moods affect me. Yes.
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 can handle one hectic or two hectic days, but more than that, yeah, I can use quiet and dark space, and NEED it.
I am made uncomfortable by loud noises. Yes
I startle easily. That one comes and goes, but lately, yes, I startle easy.
My nervous system sometimes feels so frazzled that I just have to go off by myself. If I am socializing a lot, after a week or two I need time alone to recharge.
I make a point to avoid violent movies and TV shows. Not really, but I don't seek them out either.
I am bothered by intense stimuli, like loud noises or chaotic scenes. If they are right in front of me, yes. Over the weekend, a neighbor's car alarm went off for about 2 and a half hours straight, for example. Drove me nuts!
When I was a child, my parents or teachers seemed to see me as sensitive or shy. I am still shy.
