You are less insensitive now? I would not describe myself as sensitive, but i always assumed that's just me

  Yes. To be fair though, the word "sensitive" has many meanings, some of which are contradictory to each other. For instance I have (cannabis or not) high sensitivity to sounds, lights, art, things like that. (e.g. I can start telling you about "three sided cards" w/o trying to ham it up and have tears well in my eyes) Any time when the volume of a P.A. system is in question I will want it softer than anybody else in the room which other people might see as "insensitive" to their needs. It is one reason why I haven't done sound work for live music for years even though I can sling an XLR cable as well as anybody else. The "insensitive" I was talking about in the prior post is small mistakes that make "subtractions from the emotional bank account" that my wife perceives at an unconscious level but won't confront me about or will minimize at a verbal level, but have a real impact on the relationship in a long term. I am pretty sure other people would be affected similarly but I don't have the long history of observation to convince myself of it.
