I'm right there with you, but as long as I can keep myself in "good environments", I'm ok. As a musician, I've found if we're playing more in the background, but the room, filled with people, is very "live", thus the sound bounces around & intensi...
I said to my mom once that it sometimes felt like I carried the emotional weight of the world on my shoulders and that I could figure out how it was that people could go through life feeling as much pain as I felt. Simple, they don't. But they do ...
