    What is sensory overload? Is it like that thing where you have to turn the volume down in the car when trying to park?

      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.

        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

        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.
