I have problems with sudden loud noises. When I went out to eat today there was this group of extremely loud people. In fact it was so loud at times that I had to cover my ears. It hurts me when I hear loud noises and it is even worse when the noise is unexpected. It stresses me out. So, who here has the same problem with loud noises?
I'm especially stressed by loud people. My neice recently married into a family of very large, tall (no one under 6') and exceptionally loud and exuberant people. I'm 5'3" and very quiet. I ended up having to leave her wedding reception early because they were so loud and towering over me that I just couldn't breathe. Her mother came over when I excused myself and said, "Oh, Patty, you don't have to go." I just looked at her and said, "Oh, yes, I do!" and made for the door.
