What easily sends you into a sensory overload? I'm constantly finding things that trigger them so easily and I can't stand it but i cant do anything about it most of the time

most of the the things that r triggers for me are like, sound so school n music tend to be big ones

School doesn't bother me until I actually realize how loud it is, which either happens in math or at lunch so I hate those times.

Nd my dad played Better man by Clint black, which usually I'm okay w but he plays his music from youtube, n he was playing the official video and the first like 30 seconds were so bad all those noises were so loud n came put of no where and i cant take it aaa help

i usually get sensory overloadd when i'm already kind of upset and then suddenly the lights are screaming and people are breathing and then i am more upset usually happens in school during a work time.

also when there's like a really loud thing i can sense my brain will hate it there so i just avoid those, like my sibling and i went to the mall and they opened an arcade and i realllly wanted to go in but we got like within 5 steps of the entrance and just ran awayyy bc it was too loud

also when people (mainly teachers or my parents or any adult) talk loudly i unconsciously interpret that as yelling and then i cry/get upset, and it's kinda funny because apparently i've done that since i was a tiny child but my parents thought the best way to deal with it was to force me to 'get used to it' and it very much did not work because i'm obviously still not used to it, i can just hide it betterr.

Whenever i've been walking for a long time and im in a ton of pain (chronic pain be like) and in a loud area and my mom keeps trying to ask me simple questions I freak out. So mostly sound. Also felt and metal sometimes. Idk why metal but i hate it.

my current phone case when my hands are extra dry, it’s made of silicone and the feeling is so bad Also caramelized onions when the chunks are big enough to feel in your mouth, styrofoam and the sound it makes (egg cartons are one of my worst enemies because of this), and being touched. I don’t like being touched unexpectedly in general or by people I don’t know, but it’s even worse when it’s in a crowded place like the bus or cafeteria and everyone is bumping into each other and people’s backpacks keep hitting you

i think the things that bother me the most are scratchy fabrics and loud places with lots of people? also bright lights. i have to deal with loud crowded places and bright lights alot bc my parents drag me to places like that alot, also my dad plays really loud music and talks loudly all the time and that makes me overstimulated too.

i wish i could block out all the loud noises and stuff but the ear defenders i have dont work bc theyre for shooting ranges and only block out stuff like gunshots and extremely loud stuff but not most of the noises that bother me bc theyre not loud enough for the headphones to block out.
