Very interesting. I have the same hyper-sensitivity, yet no so much around anger(although that's an issue) but LYING bugs me out, spins me into protracted spells of anxiety. I can't tune it out if it's happening, nor help getting creeped-out by it. Even when the stakes are very high, and my intellect tells me how counter productive it is to feel so unhinged, I usually have noticable trembling and so forth. It's really a cross to bear, not sure if it's childhood trauma or just the way I am. It really generates all of the hypervigilance noted in the article. It is rather like a handicap, because there is no way I can control anyone from lying. But I find lying so acutely threatening, and then anger a bit less so. <p></p><i></i>
