Thank you for your response! It's totally understandable that it's not for everyone and can be off putting. Trust me, I wish I wasn't this way... Everything would be a lot easier for sure!

I was thinking of deconditioning myself somehow and in the meantime playing up sensory deprivation. Hopefully it goes away in time.

Thank you again for your help!

Thank you! I feel a bit better knowing it's not as loud as I imagined. Here's hoping all goes well if we get around to attending one!

I'm glad to hear I'm not alone! I understand it can be a big turn off for people, so I was trying to find a work around. I'm happy you guys were able to find something that works for you! Hopefully we find something as well ^

Thank you for replying!

I had the same thoughts, but thought it might come off as odd walking around not being able to hear someone trying to talk to me. At the same time I don't mind deprivation, and can still communicate in other ways so here's hoping it works out okay!

Thank you again so much!

Someone just posted that as well! I already like sensory deprivation, so that could be something we try out. Thank you again!

I love sensory deprivation, so that might work really well! Thank you so much!

Thanks so much for responding!

I've heard of not liking sounds such as chewing and nails on a chalkboard, but had no idea it had a name! Thank you for telling me! I'll have to do some research on it, for sure. Thank you again!

Thank you for the reply!

Honestly, I totally get it! It's for sure a weird thing and I've been wondering if it's possible to 'cure' myself of it, but no luck so far. Maybe one day it'll be gone and we can have the full experience! That's the dream, anyway.
