hypersensitivity to sound making me cannot do online shopping sometimes.

I am not used to online shopping in the first place, this year I've only done 3 such things. Because whenever I do that, at the 3rd or 4th day when it is supposed to come, it becomes the day of waiting where I cannot do much stuff except waiting for it to come.

And vehincle sounds passing near my home will be noticable even from maybe <500 meters away from my house.

oh hahah that's already a thing.

but here the delivery person had to take a photo with the receiver for proof, I had to pick it the exact time they arrived. At the very least I can still hide my face using the package box, because it's an added hassle otherwise.
