Sensory issues worsening with age?

Wordsmith

My wife and I went shopping in Glasgow this morning, and after the first two shops I had to stay outside – the noise and particularly the visual overload was simply overwhelming. As we talked about it later, we realized that five years ago I could have coped much better. Has anyone else noticed their sensory problems getting worse as you get older?

  • I rhink the world is much brighter, noisier and busier than it used to be and faster too.

    I find people face down in their phones all the time disconcereting too, when I was growing up people talking to themselves were to be avoided as they were some kind of crazy, now everyones is talking to invisable microphones, not looking where they're going, avoiding any contact, it feels really alienating and what happens if one fo them walks in front of my car and I knock them over? I dont' want to hurt anyone, but its starting to feel unavoidable. Should we call it Darwinism in action or try and save people from themselves?
