Does anyone else find Dublin City Centre absolutely exhausting?

Whenever I go in, even if it's not for work, I come back feeling wrecked. The noise, particularly the traffic and asshole drivers, the clammy air, the constant smell of petrol, the crowded streets and slow walkers, having to wait for ages to get back out due to the shitty public transport, all of it is just aggravating, like a thousand little cuts that build up into one big snowball of fatigue and irritation. I always feel like I need to take a shower to cleanse myself of the dust and soot that collects in there. Does anyone else come back tired and relieved to be out?
