You COULD BE what's called a "super sensor"

Do you have a reaction to or feel overstimulated by noises or lights by any chance?

If so, things that you most likely are: extremely observant, deal with intense emotions, have an understanding of aesthetics, also analyzing cause and effect (thinking about actions before doing them)

Things that you are NOT: too sensitive, weak, or fake or shallow

If anyone ever tells you, "You're too sensitive" Your go to reply could be, "You're too numb."
