Is it normal to get anxious when people talk fast and loud?

I often find myself getting very anxious in groups of fast talking, quick moving people. I can't stand gamers with their loudness and crazy antics, and this sort of social overstimulation coupled with bright lights and too tight or too open spaces can really stress me out. Thank you for any helpful reply ^^.

    My boyfriends sister is extremely loud for no reason what so ever and its very awkward most of the time because I am so laid back and quiet. I don't understand people who need to be dramatic about trivial issues and I never will,

    I think what you're saying is understandable. I'm not a gamer, so I'm with you on that one. However, I do like techno music, and would like to go to a rave, but I don't like dubstep. Fuck that dubstep shit, it always sounds the way constipation feels. Now if you'll excuse me I need to get some muthafuckin fiber.

    Seems normal to me. You could talk to a psychiatrist to find out why it upsets you and maybe they can help you learn some coping skills so it gets easier to deal with.

      Thanks for actually taking your response seriously. I am going to go see a psychologist tomorrow in fact, but I am afraid nothing is wrong and I am just worrying about regular things.

    Totally understandable, I feel the same. And i believe that it's like information overload but for humans. Your brain is more advanced than people who let mindless chatter go in one ear and out the other, whereas your brain tries to process every little bit of information. Your just a lot smarter than others. As I say I'm the same but then again I'm a total fucking narcissistic douchebag, hope this helped... Of course it did.
