I have heightened senses. Which is, quite frankly a really shitty deal.
It makes it an absolute ***** to participate in conversations in crowded areas because everyone's always being drowned out by the background. My eyesight leaves me with headaches when I'm outside without sunglasses (it's light sensitivity, not acuity that's boosted.) Sense of smell isn't usually too bad because my allergies tend to keep it plugged up enough that I don't notice it most of the time. Taste just means I come across as a picky eater, and touch leads to some unpleasantness. Minor contact is extremely aggravating for me. Also, I have to be pretty careful about what I wear, lest the texture irritate my skin too much and distract me.
