@Zoe7, I relate to trauma from childhood. I am less affected by it now than I was in my twenties. Then, I was tortured by it. These days I am not fond of large groups and I have very open ears to sound. But this is more a choice for me I think. Still, every day I have anxiety from the jets and light aircraft coming in to land not that far from here.
@The-red-centaur, sorry to hear the main alien is so negative. I knew a couple who both thought there was an alien in their bedroom one night. I'm a completely different person between my withdrawn depressed self and my manic self. Quite introverted with social phobie on the one hand; highly social (if still anxious) on the other end of the spectrum.
@greenpea, all aboard the peamobile!
