I don’t like freaking out but especially not in public!
I guess it is because of all the smashing of things in anger that went on, on a daily basis. I guess.
Can anyone relate? how does one get over that??????
It has been 3 1.2 years, for god sakes!!!!!

I still am that way... not just loud noises though. Quick movement, any raising of hands, and when people just pop out of no where to scare me (in college so people do that a lot just cuz its fun... heck I do it to other people sorta). But yeah, I jump pretty bad... there is a cannon at my school that goes off and I know when it goes off exactly, and it still makes me jump... I can't stop it unless I am prepared for the noise or movement.
