Yes, but my parents would beat us if we made enough noise to wake them up... I learned to walk on eggshells from my first steps, so making any noise, even breathing, gives me anxiety.
Anxiety
Community for individuals with anxiety for exchange and helping each other.
This is a non-judgemental community and everyone is welcome as long as you apply to the TOS and follow basic etiquette.
No -isms, just be nice.
Keep in mind that this does not equal an exchange with a medical/mental health professional.
You too? My dad didn't give a shit, but my mom could hear everything in any state of sleep.
It taught me to be super quiet as well and it's a skill that I still know to this day. The anxiety started to fade once I learned this was a super power.
You're born to be an assassin
A thief is an option and it should be a little less stabby.
Here from /all. I don't think I have anxiety about it, but I'm more conscious of my noise than most people around me seem to be. I modify my gait based on my shoes so that I make quieter footfalls. I try to keep keys and things from rattling and avoid excessive "junk" on my keyring. I HATE swishy exercise pants or courdoroy because of the noise.
Maybe I DO have anxiety about it? I don't think anyone cares about my noise except me.
I believe this is an autistic trait
It seems like I've got a few of them.
Does it help to have sound going, like a fan or music?
A bit. Loud environments do cover the sound but any lulls in the noise bring it back
