I feel pain from notifications

I feel pain when notified in a cellphone, and to this day I refuse to use Windows 10 due to it.
Every day ESET blocks more than 2000 requisitions from Microsoft, which shows the extent of the notification assault I would receive if I was on Windows 10.
I was told by the google AI that ESET will no longer support Windows 7 late this year, so I'm going to migrate to Simplewall to block these requisitions from Microsoft.
This is to show how much I avoid notifications and ads like a plague. Because it causes pain and real anxiety. Everytime I receive a notification my survival instinct tells me something terrible is coming. That's because I suffered a lot of bullying in my life, so notifications activates a unconscious alert against bullying.

I want to know if I'm alone into this, or if is there more people who also feel terrible pain when receiving notifications. The AI told me there are more people who feel that way.

Edit: for some reason notifications from this site dont cause me such anxiety, maybe because I feel people on the forum are talking about topics that might interest me. Such is not the condition with the cellphone.

I dread notifications too, if i'm waiting for something to happen I shut down my phone and gather the courage over some days.
