being startled easily doesn't mean you are insane. the fear is automatic fight-flight response. some sort of exposure therapy might help you.

mine is more internal. i freeze and then freak inside (heart rate, breathing, and thoughts seem to go off the chart). it's hard to know if mine has improved since i've learned to avoid so many types of situations that are freaky.
