Great article, I have high anxiety and was often called 'too sensitive' when I was a child. But high sensitivity is my super power, I encourage you to read 'The Highly Sensitive Person' by Elaine N. Aron if you haven't already.

One other thing - could you have undiagnosed aspergers? My wife was recently diagnosed and she had many of the same experiences you describe in this article. You can complete a test online to find out.
