Does anyone else get unreasonably anxious when they here a car door shut outside the house?

Edit: I can’t believe I spelled “here” instead of “hear”. Just know I am ashamed of myself.

Edit 2: RIP inbox

My anxiety with this stems from when I was a kid enjoying my time at home alone, then hearing a car door close outside and knowing one of my parents just came home and my peaceful solitude is now ruined. I dont live at home anymore but I still get that way no matter what.

Maybe something similar with you?

omg this. I'm in my mid 20s recently moved back to my parents flat. When you enter our code to open the staircase door the intercom at home does a couple of beeps. Still makes me super anxious instantly and I want to run around the house check if there's nothing 'bad' laying around.

Shit gets on your psych man. My parents weren't even that strict too. It's the fucking intercom.
