ARE AUDIOPHILES OVERLY SENSITIVE BY NATURE?FEELINGS AND OPINIONS?

I know that I’m an audiophile and am overly sensitive by nature.  
What I’ve perceived from this forum suggests the OP’s point may have merit.  
I’ve never really spent time with audiophiles in the person-to-person/physical realm, I’ve just seen how often people jump so quickly to an elevated level of nastiness on this forum.
It sounds like OP has non-cyberspace experience with overly sensitive audiophiles, which I think is even better evidence to support a theory that audiophiles may be overly sensitive types by nature.  

I might suggest that “nurture” (as opposed to ‘nature’) may be at play, as well.  
Audiophiles are infamous for snobbery and condescension. Perhaps that causes some audiophiles to enter into conversations with other audiophiles with a leading edge of defensiveness and sensitivity.

You would if you met my brother in law.

.........I've gotten to the point that I prefer my cats to people....at least, I'm basically aware of how I'll be greeted and treated....

I think it is attributed to JimiHendrix  but I know the concept is from milleniums before,  "Knowledge speaks (argues) wisdom listens"

In my world  Data is only noise, analyzed and visualized  data becomes information, add experience to information and it becomes knowledge, wisdom requires contemplation and a broad inclusive view.

Cats or/and dogs.... Or all people with a brain and heart are welcome ...

We are all animals waiting to be recycled on a higher plane of consciousness...

And there music rules , no need for gear ...😊

😉

And you are certainly among the best soul here  and there i bet ...

Recently I came across the meaning of "wine connoisseur", the person that would follow strict rules of tasting wine from cork poppin to pouring certain way then indulging.

I prefer to drink from bottle-neck right after cork is popped till the bottle is dry instead or scoop it right from the barrel of winery and do nearly same. That’s how you get REAL taste of wine, not that itsy-bitsy indulging "designed and socially engineered" for expensive wines.

Same way audiophiles live off the socially engineered products.
