Loud and Sudden Noises

As we are getting closer to Bonfire Night, I would like to share things that can make me jump.

Some of you may know that I have an overactive startle reflex, meaning that anything and everything can make me jump, including fireworks. I like watching fireworks, even though they make me jump, they look pretty. What I don't like about them is that they make me jump a lot, if I know they are coming, I'm usually ok, for example; if they make a fizzling noise, I have warning before the bang (if there is one). It's when they are really loud, that's when I don't like them.

It isn't only fireworks that make me jump. Anything can make me jump. If I see a sudden movement, hear a sudden noise (even if it's really quiet), or a slight change in light, I may jump, even if I am expecting it. Sometimes it even hurts when I jump suddenly, my muscles tighten up viscously, and that hurts when I'm not used to it. Fireworks do not help with that either.

I do like watching them from inside though!

Anyway, let me know what you would like me to write about next. What would interest you?
