I am a very jumpy person and I flinch at the slightest of movements, loud noises, all sorts of things. My friend sees this and she compared me to a character in a TV show who is afraid of everything and now I feel like she sees me as a weak person or someone who is incompetent. I feel like I am someone who isn’t afraid of that much (when it comes to things like spiders, monsters, heights, typical fears) and I hate being called weak so it really hurt me when that happened. I have been thinking about it nonstop ever since she said that. 
I feel like I flinch all the time not because I’m scared but because I can’t relax and I am always on edge and assuming people are out to hurt me. I am weary of everything so I flinch when anything sudden happens to be prepared. 
Does anyone else do this or do you have any advice or things about how to get this out of my head? Anything helps &lt;3
