Personally for me being exposed to a lot of noises for a long time and not being able to escape from them causes the stress to build up and become very easly irritable, angry, and sensitive to everything. I’m curious how others experience it.
Yes and it sucks when you live below loud neighbors that are constantly making noise, stomping, and yelling at each other and you can’t escape because you’re in your own home.
That’s similar to me. Large crowds of people can make me feel that way too. It’s just a general feeling of being overwhelmed and needing to remove myself from the situation. And if I can’t, I start to either shut down or become agitated. It feels like being a caged animal and wanting to escape to me.
I’ve mostly been able to manage those feelings to the extent that I think most people wouldn’t even know I was experiencing them. But there’s a certain amount of energy that goes into actively managing my mood in those cases, which just makes me feel drained in the end.

that’s exactly it for me too. it’s like a building irritation that crescendos into a grumpy tsunami if not dealt with
though i find it’s not just noises necessarily, it can be sensations like touch as well

I’ll get that reaction immediately to almost any noise 🙉
Mostly if I’m already kinda stressed. If not, then it will take a few minutes of noise before I crack
Cracking is the worst. You just basically fully lose yourself for a good moment.
Then get ashamed for how you acted
Yep.
