I didn’t know any of this was legit, i thought i was just being unnecessarily sensitive and bothering everyone ._.

I’ve written about it and shared some coping mechanisms here. if you struggle with sensitivity to sound, please make an appointment with a local ENT doctor—there are therapy and treatment options available (though it is an uncommon enough issue that I would call ahead to let them know your concerns, and ask them to take time to research treatment recommendations in advance of your appointment. you can also ask to be referred to a specialist). This isn’t something anyone should have to deal with alone.
