Me too. I always thought I was just oversensitive till I read this
thread. I knew about startle reflexes in theory, but I thought I was
doing something to exaggerate mine, and that they were something I
could control if I just tried hard enough. I've been known to startle
even when I can see someone walk up to me, if I'm distracted by
something else at the same time.
