Does anyone else live in a city and suffer from sensitivity to noise, specifically 'boom' noises like slamming doors and bassy music?
I suffer from sensitivity to my own brain talking, but even if by some miracle there's a low stress period of inner chatter, and I haven't drank, I still have to worry about my neighbor upstairs slamming things or someone slamming their front doors in the hallway
In decades of living in a city, every single apartment had this problem, even a brand new luxury building.
And the amount of lack of sympathy from this problem I've gotten (using ear plugs doesn't stop BOOM type noises and top floors are rarely available) suggests it's a neuro divergence and not a "lifestyle" issue.
