Highly Sensitive People HSP Community Group
The highly sensitive person (or HSP) is someone who cares deeply about everything ... feels emotions with great intensity ... is highly conscientious ... has a rich and complex inner life ... is very intuitive ... is often creative in a variety of ways... is easily overwhelmed and/or overstimulated. A HSP needs lots of quiet time,space, and freedom. If this sounds...
For the past few years sounds have been really getting to me. The squealing of car brakes, noisy automatic doors, motorcycles. Everything bothers me. It's hard to shut it off. I especially get annoyed if I am trying to read and can't because of too much noise. How does everyone else deal with this?
--- which has made me more gadget conscious.....
and 2) once bought a pr of fairly good earphones for music. Their feature of outside noise cancellation means i can just put a battery in them -- and..without music even, they put me in a zone called silence.
Come to think of it, i may start using them for that more. Maybe get a lower-cost pair which are lighter-weight, and be able to carry them with me freely.(i thnk noise-cancelling headphones are catching on, and there cheap ones out there.
/ Let me know if you learn anything; now that i' starting to think about this. Noise in my case doesn't so often startle me...but a certain amoutof i and i'm frustrated or grumpy. I've noticed sometimes that turning my hearing aid off makes me calmer and more contented. Instantly. :) . . . . good luck . ((((DE))))
and . :( . they may be more costly than what I expected. -- One's that work..
