Thanks for writing this. I’ve been contemplating to write something similar now for years.
I’ve been avoiding venues with many people all the time. If I get overloaded with too much noise, for example, in one of those lovely restaurants in the US, I go “nuts” (I stop talking and my mind churns and I start to shake). Loud sounds, like a loud car or motorbike, make me blink in irritation and I can’t hold a conversation.
