Is it normal that i'm "sensitive"?
When I was young, I could never go swimming because the feeling of cold water on my skin was unbearable. I would just sit on the sand and watch my friends having fun in the water. I still do not like swimming. I live on the coast, and have not gone swimming in any way, shape, or form for 10 years.
I did not like "rough housing". I could not wrestle, or play "cowboy's and Indians", or anything like that. I hated being touched, by anyone, for any reason. I still do.
I cannot stand loud or repetitive noises of any kind. They literally make me go insane. I once demolished a vending machine because it's theft alarm was sounding, and I was not in a position to leave the area due to circumstances. I broke three metacarpels, and lost alot of skin on my hands. I have to wear a pair of earplugs around my neck just in case I am subjected to something like this during my day.
I cannot tolerate unpleasant odors. I once beat my brother bloody because he farted in the car. My mother had to call the police. There's a regular customer at the store where I work who smells like a pile of dead, incontinent homeless people after having a homosexual orgy in the dumpster behind a cigarette factory. When he comes in, I have to feign illness and hide in the bathroom. If he ever gets within five feet of me, I'll disembowel him.
I've been piecing together various incidents and tendencies such as these that I've had throughout my life, and I've come to the conclusion that I'm an unusually physically sensitive person. Is this normal?
