Might I have hyposensitivity?

Never have I been able to see, hear, or sense in general very well. I only enjoy listening to music when it is at a volume that others find uncomfortably loud.

I take pleasure in any experience where I can go fast. This fondness for intense speed has gotten me into some pretty bad accidents with my bicycles and skateboards. Fortunately, I don't feel that much pain- even when I accidentally put my fingers in boiling water. I can stick my hands in a hot pan for a few seconds and it doesn't hurt.

Bright things and vivid colors are also some things I like a lot.
 
Yeah, I'd say you do. I accidentally put my hand on the side of my mini hair straighteners I use for managing beard and that really stung! It was probably only for a second, maybe two.

I did this exact thing with my straighteners yesterday evening. There was much swearing.
 
That is interesting. I am the eaxct opposite. Drop a pin into a a soft vat of cotton and I am in agony for a week. SLIGHT exaggeration.
