It happens to me all the time, although I have learned various ways to blank out a bit so that it is not so uncomfortable. I still shop by catalog when possible, rent movies (except when I go to kid's movies for my son's sake), and even eat fast food in the quiet bubble of my car.
Have you read "The Highly Sensitive Person" by Elaine Aronson (I'm not sure about the author). I believe she gives some tips about this sort of things. Much better ideas than the slightly disfunctional ones I use.
