You sound like me. Recently my girlfriend and I moved. One day while packing, my girlfriend came downstairs and I heard a loud-ish hissing upstairs. She had no idea what I was talking about and didn’t notice it at all. I ran upstairs to check on it and it turns out she had packed some things tightly on top of some cleaning supplies. If it were up to her, the entire bottle of Lysol would’ve sprayed out and destroyed a lot of things in that box. I prevented that. So yeah I’m totally with you, noticing sounds that don’t make immediate sense can save you trouble and it could also save your life, so as maddening as it can be it’s also very useful and I won’t try to stop noticing these sounds.

I feel the same way. I’m always “overreacting” no matter how much trouble or risk I avoid by reacting. It’s pretty exhausting.
