For me, that's a sign they are normal people. Tattoos are so fashionable these days; everyone has one or wants one.
The same goes when I see a man wearing an earring. Why would someone care about that? I don't care about anything to wear on my body.
Sorry, I know there must be people here who have tattoos or men with earrings, but... I just wanted to vent.
Every now and then, I think maybe I was wrongly diagnosed with schizotypal personality disorder.
But then I read this:
“d Noise oversensitivity
More than mere “irritability,” this involves an over-reaction to auditory stimulation producing anxiety, rage, or taking exaggerated steps to escape the auditory input. E.g., the patient purchases ear plugs, or has a big dispute with his landlord, or changes his place of residence because he “cannot bear” an amount of noise that falls well within the usual range for many city-dwellers. Particularly striking is intolerance for the barely audible human voice, where the patient cannot clearly hear all of what is being said and is unable to cease attending to it.”
And then I look at what I bought a couple of weeks ago that's sitting on my table.
I've been wanting to buy something like this my whole life. I bought them at a hardware store. They're supposed to protect your ears when you use an electric drill.
