I'm realizing something about myself. I'm both sensitive and intense. Sensitive in the sense that the world's sounds, sights, and feelings impact me strongly. My internal equilibrium is disturbed easily by sensory inputs, perhaps because my nervous system is especially sensitive to any changes in my external environment ( Read more... )

I noticed a theme in some of my posts and wanted to note them.
