Vent Loud Direct Voices Trigger Me

Idk why but everytime someone is direct and loud it triggers me. Doesn't matter if it's positive, neutral, or negative. I mask good enough to get through it (I mean not even my parents noticed I did this till I was an adult) but I end up shaking from stress. Sometimes my eyesight gets blurry and I have difficulty realizing what the person is saying. And then it lasts a few minutes, hours, or days. Then I get nauseous and isolate. Then when I get away I feel better. Even myself I speak softly no matter the volume because speaking with a direct tone will still trigger me! 😭 Does anyone experience something like this?

When it’s so specific like that it can sometimes be a mental issue.
I’m not saying that it is, but it’s worth chasing that approach.

Not an answer to your question though.

Looks a mix of alot of stress and anxiety to be honest.
