For example my keys jingling in my pocket, my jacket sleeve moving against my torso, and to a lesser extent my footsteps make me anxious. I’m curious does anyone else experiences this?

I’m not sure if it’s anxiety or something grander. Wearing noise cancelling headphones helps though.

I kind of feel like the noise version of a Nightkin.

    Here from /all. I don’t think I have anxiety about it, but I’m more conscious of my noise than most people around me seem to be. I modify my gait based on my shoes so that I make quieter footfalls. I try to keep keys and things from rattling and avoid excessive “junk” on my keyring. I HATE swishy exercise pants or courdoroy because of the noise.

    Maybe I DO have anxiety about it? I don’t think anyone cares about my noise except me.
