Yes, i'm an HSP. I don't like it when things get too noisy in my drop-in. I like quiet times with just a few friends. I went to a rock concert about five years ago and it was unbearable even tho the musician was my favorite. I've stopped going to movies in commercial theaters because the pre-show is so overwhelming.

I think most mentally ill people are vulnerable to becoming overwhelmed. My friend and her sister are mentally ill and when their other sister got married she rented a room for them in the hotel specifically for them where they could retreat if they got overwhelmed. I thought that was really thoughtful and considerate.
