I want to dig a little deeper into this. Feelings always have a cause. I think the other trash can feeling for me is tired, right? I mean, sometimes it's legitimate. That's a physiological thing. But i think sometimes there's maybe more under there. Thing i've read about and talked about people who are considered like, highly sensitive, like, their nervous system is tuned in such a way that sound, it's hard for them tune out. So those things seem neurological, almost, or physiological, more than emotional.
