Loudness does bother me, but not always in the sense of volume... it's the tone that gets to me. I have a friend whose tone of voice REEKS of anger, and then she gets louder at the same time... I've told her about it so many times, but she just continues reacting and reacting and reacting that way. She won't go to counseling to work on her anger management. Uggh.
Volume also bothers me, but it's different when the person is not angry. If someone is happy and talking loudly, and not dominating the conversation, that's okay. I'll listen to them. But if someone is yelling and angry, I do feel like they are verbally punching me. I'm pretty sensitive to words, tone, volume, whether positive or negative... I feel them as if they are physical.
