Did you have any siblings close in age?

Sometimes I wonder if that influences how people can handle commotion. I grew up with three little sisters close in age and between them and my mom literally nothing outside of that even registers as a blip on my radar.

I also find that in very quiet environments I can get restless - all anecdotal, but made me wonder about it.

Yeah, my older brother is also quite "sensitive." We had to take the first bus out of Vienna because he couldn't handle it; it made him nauseous. There was a lot of quiet in our household, and we're both moderately introverted.
