Your brain is supposed to come with a bouncer. His whole job is sorting incoming information into two piles: background and foreground. The hum of the refrigerator goes in the background pile. The friend talking to you goes in the foreground pile. Your brain doesn't come with that bouncer. Or the bouncer is on a break, scrolling on his phone and letting everyone in at once. So the music playing overhead, the conversation two tables over, the fluorescent lights, the tag in your shirt collar: all of it arrives at the same volume. All foreground, all the time. If you've ever been called dramatic in a loud room, this one is for you. The full episode on ADHD and sensory overload is in my bio. Ok, now it's your turn: which room is the hardest one for you to sit in?
