I was recently in New Orleans, LA and the passerby let us know that a "big boom" was going to occur at noon. The "big boom" was a building going under demolition. I was aware of this happening well before it occurred. Yet when It did happen, and I will admit that I was a few blocks away sitting on the grass in a park, but I had got so scared. I felt like I had a mini heart attack, it was purely terrifying and I had a literal panic attack. The interesting thing is that my childhood trauma had nothing to do with noises, I mean technically speaking my there was yelling involved, a lot of yelling. But that was the lowest of the abuse that I had endured as a child.
This "big boom" was a loud noise, but I get scared at small noises too, honestly any noise will startle me this is confusing to me. People tend to think that I am dramatic and fake my reactions to noises especially the minor ones. The truth is I don't. Honestly.
People need to learn to respect others, their wishes and troubles.
