Thanks 👍

Does anyone happen to know where I could pick up some Velcro tape, something like this...

It’s nice if they check in once a week 🙂

When you say leave your parents, what exactly do you mean by that? Are we talking about a permanent estrangement where you cut all ties, or just moving out to have your own space?
If it’s just moving out, I think you might be overthinking things here. There’s clearly some lingering guilt at play—that comment about "working myself to the bone just to put food on your table" certainly doesn't help.

Focus on your responsibilities and your own life. Don't approach this feeling like you've done something wrong; you're just doing what's natural. After all, you mentioned they did the same with their own parents, and eventually, your children will do the same for you...

In principle, sensory compensation only really kicks in when there's a loss of sight, because unlike other senses, losing vision is a massive hurdle to overcome. Here is an interesting example of how people repurpose their sense of hearing for entirely different functions: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Human_echolocation
It’s amazing what can be achieved by "training" your senses 🙂

I would say you have a vision problem rather than heightened senses.😁
