Seems most others experience irritability more than vulnerability or a spike in anxiety. I can get agitated by people speaking where they shouldn't, or distant sounds too low to ignore, but my issue is more around not feeling safe, so it may be more related to PTSD than GAD.
Thanks,
Johann

Not loudness, but sounds coming through walls, etc. It's partly PTSD for me, but I can't feel safe if I can't block noises from my home; that is, if I can have silence when I need it, which can keep me up late at night waiting for the quiet. I'm also one of those people who can't stand it when someone is talking in the theater.
