08: Why am I so Jumpy? The Highly Sensitive Person Podcast
-
- Mental Health
I am jumpy. I've been scared by my own shadow (no joke). Just last night, I was using my iPhone as a flashlight in the dark, when it illuminated a mirror, and my reflection scared me. Also not joking.
In Episode 8 of the Highly Sensitive Person Podcast, I talk about how some sounds affect me greatly--specifically, loud, sudden, and incessant noises.
From buses to babies to birds (that alliteration was so lucky), I explain what sets me off and why I think it affects HSPs more than others.
