Going to look for that quiz. Thank you!
I agree with your assessment here – we are opening up to “normalcy”, but we are in these foreign bodies, in a foreign place, etc. OH I FEEL so much too… I very much get that. I think in this mess, it also is uncomfortable, but out there, I believe that is the normal way to be.

there is a book put out about 20-25 years ago – the highly sensitive person. i picked up a copy in 1997. in the front is a 20 question questionnaire to help you determine if you are highly sensitive. i answered all 20 questions with a “yes” answer. lol it’s nice to have that label now and then to at the very least offer encouragement that you aren’t alone. it is my opinion we aren’t highly sensitive – we have a very typical response to noises and situations that are otherwise foreign to our original experience. add in the other unnatural experiences – the exposure to toxins, etc. that can accumulate in our bodies making us even more sensitive. are you have a VERY highly defined sense of hearing. my hearing isn’t the greatest – perhaps thankfully or i’d really be over the top – i am more of a sensing person. i just feeeeeel things – and they often feel like a sudden jolt to my inner body.
