I have a real problem with excessive startle reaction. I feel bad for my boss. He's new here and such a sweatheart. When he comes to my desk he comes around a corner and I don't see him coming. He'll suddenly start talking and I jump every time. He feels bad and apoligizes. I keep telling him it's ok, it's not your fault. He makes jokes, I'll hum or bang on the files. Which actually works. Today I told him I have PTSD. He said he doesn't even know what that is. I told him I startle easily. He didn't ask any questions, he just walked away. I just wanted to cry. I hate it.
