This is my only auditory sensory overload problem. I don’t mind buzzing or humming or the simple volume of sounds. But I cannot have other voices nearby if I’m trying to have a conversation. I WILL attempt to process all of it, I WILL fail miserably, and I WILL forget everything. I think it’s why I like going to concerts alone, cuz I can just focus on the music and forget that for most people, concerts are part art appreciation and part social event. Makes it hard to fully let loose and Get Weird on the dancefloor.
