Hardly exceptional?

Hello everybody.

All your scheming did not alter the human experience as

we know it. No one’s emotions can be purchased or cured from the outside.

People are not your puppets. If it’s any consolation, I am not the same. Not

after everything you did to me. I no longer believe in coincidences, for one

thing. I often feel as if someone is waiting for me as I round certain corners,

a feeling strong enough to set me walking in the opposite direction. I have

difficulty relaxing in crowds, which is hardly exceptional, but solitude can

be fraught in the same way. When I fall asleep, a force not entirely benign

passes behind my eyelids. Like I can hear the mechanics of a curtain being

drawn.


First, would you please tell me what it in line two refers to? Human experience?

Which is hardly exceptional means feeling uneasy in crowds is not strange for her, am I right?

What about Like I can hear the mechanics of a curtain being drawn? Does it mean as if I can feel the movement of a curtain being drawn?

I really appreciate you for the great help ????

Yes. It is a formula, "X as we know it". You see it in "life as we know it", for example "We may find life on other planets, but it will probab
