  • I think that I am like a snail with a shell. I am an introvert, so I am noise averse, and like the quiet life. My shell protects me, but the outside world crushes it and leaves my sensitive head with no protection from the constant barrage of cacophonous sound.

    Car noise is the worst. My parents never owned a car, we always travelled by train. Car noise makes me very stressed, and as my flat is on a busy street, it is driving me mad. I don't like the idea of ear-plugs (risk of wax compaction and infection, as well being uncomfortable and expensive), but am thinking about purchasing a white noise generator. White noise blocks out background noise and is calming.
