Which of your senses causes you the most problems?

Post Reply New Topic

I get really, almost uncontrolably angry if I can sort of hear something but not make out what it is. I don't know why.

I'm also really sensitive to smell. Strong perfume or certain foods give me a headache or make me feel ill.

I'm very sensitive to light.

I hate being touched, but I manage to avoid that almost entirely.

Sounds bother me somewhat, mostly when I am at home and it reminds me that there are other people in my building.

Taste isn't a problem.

Smell-I gag at certain smells, especially garbage and dog-doo.

Sounds, especially intermittent ones. They drive me nuts!

Vision, then hearing, then touch, then smell, then taste in that order.

sensory, hearing

Sounds are probably the worst for anyone, really. You can't really avoid them like you can with other senses.

I wear moderately-tinted, polarized sunglasses almost all the time. Even indoors, when I haven't had enough sleep and the light streaming in is too bright for me.

Smells don't often affect me, unless they are from a person who is too near me. I once had an aquaintance who had a really bad smell. Everytime I noticed his smell, it would upset me.

I'm sensitive in general, but if there's one individual sense thing going on I can usually find a way to deal with it. Sensory overload of multiple input is the worst for me, and is probably why I like to stay home/be alone so much.

Sounds, most definitely. I hate repetitive sounds that most people block out, and can hear stuff that not many others can. This doesn't help me concentrate at all...

Vision.

Light of the sun and touch.
But I like to watch and listen many things at the same time, for example two movies and mixed music.

Touch.

Touch, Sound, Smell, Sight....in that order.

Sound and taste. I am sensitive to sudden loud noises. I always want to avoid the fireworks on 4th of July. I'm also sure I have some sort of auditory processing problem. I'm also a very picky eater, which sometimes annoys people.

Sound and light touch.

Right now, I work in a place where there is oldies music on the PA system and pop/disco in the office. Any noise, other than natural stuff (like wind), bothers me. This is like a pin being dragged across my eardrums. It hurts. I'm changing jobs in two and a half weeks.
