Hot take: some ppl cannot stand loud noises or noisy environments. It raises their anxiety because Loud=dangerous and they cannot concentrate on their task. Hypervilgilence.
Equally hot take:
Some ppl cannot stand silence or a lack of noise/music. It raises their anxiety because silence= something is Not Right. Hypervilgilence.
Respect both. Both can happen to the same person in different situations or times.
Respect. Do not assume “they can take it”. Ask them, check in with them if the situation is still okay.
Also, some people with anxiety disorders can’t handle super bright fluorescent lights.
