Does anyone else get anxious making sound when they move? (leminal.space)

For example my keys jingling in my pocket, my jacket sleeve moving against my torso, and to a lesser extent my footsteps make me anxious. I'm curious does anyone else experiences this?

I'm not sure if it's anxiety or something grander. Wearing noise cancelling headphones helps though.

I kind of feel like the noise version of a Nightkin.

Yes, but my parents would beat us if we made enough noise to wake them up... I learned to walk on eggshells from my first steps, so making any noise, even breathing, gives me anxiety.

You too? My dad didn't give a shit, but my mom could hear everything in any state of sleep.

It taught me to be super quiet as well and it's a skill that I still know to this day. The anxiety started to fade once I learned this was a super power.
