Brightness

I've always struggled with brightness problems. I'm oversensitive to light of all kinds. All the lights in my house are dimming and I can only use my devices for a short time before my eyes feels like there burning. I'm a book fan but sold the kindle because the screen even on the lowest brightness was too bright . . . I remember crying when things were too bright when I was still small and whiney haha but it is more severe now for reasons unknown.

  • I’m exactly the same, but with sound. Everything is just too much. My ears tend to adapt if I use any defence too. At least that’s how it seems. I’m just hypersensitive in that way I suppose.

    I must admit, I do struggle with this website in terms of brightness too. I know that we can swap between vivid and calm, but I’d quite like to swap between a light and dark mode. Perhaps this is already possible (I’m not so great with technology at times) and I’ve just not found it yet. I do have my phone on its darkest setting, but it’s still too bright.

    I also find supermarkets overwhelming for so many reasons, but the lighting certainly doesn’t help!
