My partner just brought me three pop-open dough cans. They absolutely cannot stand the surprise from opening them. Basically the same hatred for the Jack-in-the-box toys. It’s such a strange thing to me that I’ll never understand.

We talked at length about it this morning. Similar response too. Ever since I’ve known them, they’ve hated balloons, for instance. POP!
I think I’m just realizing how differently people’s bodies react to being startled. For some, it must be more extreme than I realize. I’m not saying I don’t startle, but my body simply doesn’t react as harshly. And I think that’s the key. 💜
I’m glad you posted about it, because I hadn’t really thought about it properly in the opposite direction myself.
