My sensitivities seem to have been just a few for each sense. I’ve always worn a hat in summer & worn prescription sunglasses outside for years. Stuffy classrooms. High pitched noises make me nauseous & low pitched rumbling, like that noise used for sound effects in movies & TV, unnerves me. Chemical smells like paints, thinners, insecticides etc. And big disorganised department stores & shopping malls. We went to a big centre yesterday to buy cat stuff & couldn’t get out quickly enough. (Will they ever finish renovating/extending/altering Chadstone shopping centre? Doesn’t really matter. Wouldn’t go often anyway.)
Very emotionally sensitive. Always cried in the right places when watching videos on camps with my students, much to their delight. 😂 But also very sensitive to trauma in fiction, like The Boy in the Striped Pyjamas, Once & dystopian fiction.
Was terrified of dogs when the new puppy jumped up to lick my face when I was 2. It went back to the breeder. I’d force myself to walk down a neighbouring street where lots of dogs were able to wander out of their yard in an attempt to desensitise myself. Didn’t work, but I did eventually grow out of it.
I’m probably more sensory seeking - naturally fragrant flowers & foliage, textures, colours, music of all types (but I need quiet time too). And I like people. I just don’t always get them, or perhaps more accurately, they don’t get me. And I like activity, games & sports, even though my physical coordination isn’t great. (Much much better than it used to be.)!
