I live in a normal sized house, that has been subdivided into 3 apartments. My naighbors are an aggressive, rude, grumpy old man downstairs and his son on the other side of the hallway. Since I'm sensitive to loud noises, so ownly use headphones when listening to music or such things and never go outside anyway, there have been surprisingly few problems.

The ownly thing is, that I freeze, every time I hear noises from outside my door, let alone knocking. Is it my neighbour, come to curse at me for something? Is it the landlord, come to throw me out, because he has complained? Is it some repair person, wanting to come into my home?

I'm 24 and moved out when I was 18, why cant I get over this? Do any of you deal with the same? What can I do to feel more save?
