I agree with this perception. If you can learn ways to vent stress effectively as you age, the end result will be to minimize the effects of oversensitivity to sound, visual, taste, smell and touch. So the outcome depends on the individual.

Seniority at work means I get to delegate stuff to the new guy. I give him a short explanation and let him decide how to handle it. He is much better at solving stuff with the assistance of social networking. Not my thing.

My depressive spells are not as intense as they used to be, but that's about the only thing I've improved on. Blocking out excess light and noise has gotten harder, I have less energy to spare for social interaction, and I no longer seek friendships because they take too much out of me to maintain.
