I jump AND yell easily. Loud noises can make me jump. But a surprise? Forget it. I think I just get so mentally involved sometimes that I am not aware of what's going on around me. One time I was watching a horror movie and ended up throwing a whole can of mixed nuts into the air. Now if I watch them at the theater with my daughter, I am not allowed to hold anything and often have to cover my mouth.

I never used to be like this and it is embarressing when you yell in surprise because the UPS man walked across your porch. Otherwise, I just embrace it as one of my many quircky personality traits.
