Emotional hyperarousal?

I thought I was too sensitive when I got intense (read: mostly angry and sad) reactions to people criticizing things I like or rejecting them as if they didn't exist. And when I say intense, I mean thinking about that for hours on end, thinking about a way to confront others. Ending up not doing it because eventually, no one cares. I am an adult, I should be able to manage my emotions! Then I found out it might be emotional hyperarousal?

I've never been able to control my emotions. I think, get very intense about it, and I try to keep it inside myself because "dude, you can't get an opinion influence you that much!" I'm a little ashamed of this, of being intense to the point of looking immature.

I remember when I was younger (as in mandatory school). I used to get angry at everyone who pissed me off because I couldn't keep my mouth shut. This resulted in being rejected a lot by people (and hated), and this is also something sensitive to me. Why couldn't I manage these emotions better? Why no one noticed and helped me? And this is also connected to emotional sensitivity and rejection sensitivity.

I am glad that I'm able to interpret these things now, but I wish I knew it sooner. I've lived most of my life being called "too much" or "exaggerated" or being belittled for my emotional reactions to how other people treated me like shit or how I reacted to a lot of these things. I wish I knew how to emotionally regulate better now, because that's one of the reasons I feel so burned out lately. I can't manage my emotions properly and I wish I did.

Sometimes I wonder why some ppl find hard to understand why other people find certain stuff uncomfortable or other stuff

I dislike cigarette smell and I remember this one time my throat was hurting and the cigarette smell were making things worse and making it uncomfortable so i went to the bathropm but after I had to go out for my mother

I had been called "dramatic" tons of times for not being able to tolerate cigarette smell or when there is a strong smell of food that I dont really like or that it smells good but its way too strong sometimes

I also had been called sensitive my whole life mainly cuz I cried a lot, I cry a lot, its kinda a way to cope with my emotions and I cannot help it like no sorry I csnt just hold in my crying, I am kinda judgamental with things sometimes as weml, one day I can use jeans but other days I can see it and remember the feeling and being like "hmmm its probably uncomfortable using it today, its also going to be really hot today as well, yeah pass" or smth

Tbh not sure but I am hoping I am not the only one

i cannot believe i saw the take “it’s weird for straight women to be attracted to bisexual men who act openly queer” in reference to astarion sexuality discourse

straight women can date bi men and vice versa…? the qualities we associate with queerness in men can be attractive to women…? are we saying straight women should dislike their bi male partners’ queerness and discourage them from displaying those qualities…?

#bg3 discussion #astarion #im sorry that emotionally sensitive pretty boys who take pride in their appearances and have flowery speaking mannerisms are attractive

it’s been four months since December 2022 and I’m still not over the fact that Reigen was apparently so haunted by guilt from that one time in S2E2 where he scolded Mob for eating too many french fries that it showed up in the super emotionally charged eyecatcher montage during the series finale.

I wonder if reigen will ever find the closure he needs to free himself from the poltergeist of regret that obviously follows him around as a result of this incident. the confession incident really had reigen re-evaluating everything from the past three years.

#okay but this is such an ‘emotionally repressed but also sensitive and doting family member’ thing #it’s hard to explain #but my dad is a gruff and rough-n-tumble farmer man #but he’s also very sensitive and doting #so sometimes he will say something kind of blunt or tease me or scold me over something #and it really won’t even be that bad #but he will sit there for the next couple of hours and stew over whether or not he hurt my feelings #like that shit will haunt him until eventually he calls me and apologizes #bc he’s sensitive but also not super in touch with emotions so he’s not sure where the boundaries are sometimes #and by that point i will have mostly forgotten what even happened in the first place #but i always get the post-joke/scolding regret call #especially bc i was always a kid who was very sensitive to rejection #i dunno if this makes any fucking sense #it’s just very ‘emotionally repressed family member’ core #the girls who know will know #mp100 #mob psycho 100 #shigeo kageyama #reigen arataka

You're not wrong about anything wrt cost of flying, but man is it bracing to wake up to a reminder that I can never ethically see most of my loved ones in-person again.

hmm. i think this is also the wrong way to think about it. flying is not a sin. being in some indirect way responsible for a certain amount of carbon emissions does not Taint Your Soul. and absolutist frameworks for this kind of thing are not helpful to anybody, least of all the people who actually might already be contributing to fixing problems like this through positive behaviors, like voting or political organizing.

the problem with carbon emissions is that they're a difficult to solve collective action problem, where a lot of the incentives point in a harmful direction, not that they are Fundamentally Immoral, and i think that's an important distinction to make, because i think a handful of semi-scrupulous individuals flagellating themselves and depriving themselves of things that would make them happy in the long run has no real effect on big problems like this. you not seeing your family is not going to fix global warming! and there are not enough people who are willing or able to act on guilt alone to refrain from flying that it's going to meaningfully dent emissions from the air transport sector.

what we need are policies that shape collective decisionmaking. this is why a fat carbon tax (especially when coupled with a rebate for lower-income people) can be a useful policy: it might make it harder to fly to visit family, but it won't make it categorically impossible, and it will reduce air travel in general, or encourage finding lower-carbon alternatives that allow people to travel just as much, like high-speed trains or, i don't know, some kind of fancy jet fuel that emits less CO2.

honestly, if you vote consistently for pro-environmental policies and parties, if you donate a bit of spare cash from time to time to the same, and/or if you are minimally politically active in other ways, and you're not, like, the CEO of BP in your professional life, you are fine. go, free from sin. if everyone did that, the problem of carbon emissions could be solved in a few years. now, you might go, "but not everyone is doing that!" well, not everyone is sitting at home miserable because they missed seeing grandma on her deathbed; that won't solve global warming either. in fact, it will do even less to solve global warming, because it is (and i say this with compassion) an anxious, guilt-ridden, useless gesture meant to salve your own spirit, not actually a contribution to solving the problem.

in general, i am really opposed to letting a vast and nebulous sense of guilt on big, systemic problems shape your personal behaviors. none of the behaviors that these feelings of guilt ban ever contribute to significant or systemic improvements in the problem--guilt is not building nuclear plants or preventing oil from being drilled. and in my experience, the kind of people who feel this guilt are prone to anxiety, maybe as kids were made overly responsible for the emotional state of people around them, and thus feel an outsized sense of responsibility in other areas of their life, and they mistakenly think that 1) this is a healthy way to go through life, 2) if they don't go through life this way they're a Bad Person, and 3) most people (or most people they think of as Good People) feel this way.

i wish to free people from this burden. there are no individual solutions to big collective action problems! and if reading about global warming, or racism, or poverty, or any other big social problem fills you with an enormous sense of guilt and has you wracking your brain for ways you can help by cutting/reducing/abstaining from things in your life, congratulations, you are one of many people in this world who can be at least 300% more selfish and still be a certified Good Person. so, uh, chill.

#wait is oil 'drilled' or 'mined' or 'dug up' or what? #what is the verb here to refer to the process of oil extraction #is it just 'extraction'? #you drill *for* oil #but do you *drill* oil? #anyway here's another plug for The Adult Children of Emotionally Immature Parents #because this kind of Eldest Daughter/I Must Fix Everything syndrome #can be a result of a particular kind of emotional immaturity on your parents' part #and i suspect but cannot prove #a lot of people who feel this way had parents whose emotional state #they had to be very sensitive to

Came to the conclusion that I wanted a fursona to take the place of Red in my story thing with Nebo, Jericho, and Kikuo. It'll be easier on my brain to ship furries with each other lol-

So I made this guy! He's a black cat, ironically nicknamed "Lucky" for his absolutely abysmal luck.

He's a tsundere black cat who thinks he's hot shit and tough as nails but gets flustered at the smallest compliment and praise... Loser. >_>

#my art #my ocs #fursona #Lucky #furry art #Red is kindly leaving the premises so please make Lucky feel welcome ;w; #He's in fact not hot shit and tough. He's sensitive asf... emotionally and physically LOL #but yeah I'm hoping I'll have more fun with Lucky cuz Red started to bore me a bit AND I wanted to ship furry characters- #oc ref

Alright I get it,

I get that everyone wants the angst, I get that sometimes you just wanna read a sad fic that doesn't end well, and that is going to exist in every fandom.

But I firmly believe that Jack and Bitty are in love in every way, in every universe. There is not a reasonable explanation for them to not be together/break up.

And I stand by that

#this is mostly a joke #omgcp #omgcheckplease #zimbits #peach speaks #I'm not tryna yuck somebody's yum I'm just stating my own opinions #also??? miscommunication in zimbits fics??? hate. #like I hate to be stickler for character accuracy but c'mon they're both too emotionally mature for that #and!!! they're too sensitive to just soldier through it without breaking before it gets too bad!!! #yes yes I know Hi Honey was a chapter that happened but Bitty admitted that he was breaking and he went!!! to!!! Jack!!!

I swear to god some of y'all make it so fucking hard to want to be here and make posts to be passionate about the characters we love

Sorry to the anon on Ange's blog (edit: on mine too, lol) who complained about me titling my Billy post "THE Billy Taylor post" because it was me sharing all of the feelings I have about Billy that I have kept in my heart until now

As if I am saying that no one else in the world could ever post about Billy Taylor. I'm not even a fan fiction writer, but lmao! Sorry! I claimed him and you can't ever talk about him because I made the definitive Billy post! Haha gotcha!!!!

#I am feeling very emotionally sensitive today and just NOT here for this #y'all know I dont usually make posts about this stuff #but god damn i swear #fuckin tbd i'm going to lie down i cant deal w this rn

I can appreciate “empath” jokes as much as the next person but it is a little unfortunate that the word has basically lost all meaning when it actually describes a childhood trauma response of becoming hyper-aware and hyper-vigilant of other peoples emotions while simultaneously becoming disassociated with your own.

#ok to reblog #I mean I still find the jokes funny like *some one screaming and crying* ‘I can tell she’s upset I’m an empath’ jokes #but it’s a shame the word ‘empath’ is kinda seen as just a joke #describing people who believe they are either more spiritual/‘in tune’ whatever #or people who just think they are really emotionally intelligent #and not like #people who have trauma and were labeled as too sensitive #idk #Maeve talks #just my 2 cents

Clover sees- well they do LOOK like Otto... ...Otto? Hey, I was just looking for y- She practically freezes in place, almost in disbelief, looking curiously down at them. Are- Are you a dog?! She perks up a bit, tail swaying.

Well I mean- no shit, of course you are, I'm looking right at you, but- ...Is it permanent? -@emotionally-sensitive-captain

boof !!

[ He trots up to Clover and sits in front of her, tilting his head to the side before shaking his head no. Despite how much fun being a dog has been, he’d REALLY like to go back to normal now. ]

Bit of an introspection but I started studying when I was younger than most of my peers and thus most of my friend group is in their twenties and thirties and I'm not even twenty yet, and I kind of developed an insecurity over my age. We had a bit of a conversation about it today and the general consensus in the group was that I shouldn't feel insecure about my age because I'm on their skill level at an age where they didn't even think about stuff like that, but idk. The thing that bugs me is that I just kind of feel like the knowledge about my age just kind of weighs that down. Like my level of emotional maturity and/or my skills is kind of overshadowed by the fact that I'm younger than most people I surround myself with, and it's kind of like me as a person becomes an afterthought in the face of "but holy shit she's ten years younger than me". Maybe it's because I got rejected because of my age a while ago and the idea still kind of lingers that I'm never going to be at the level of emotional maturity that my peers have reached, because I always feel like they're a step ahead of me. And I'm mature for my age, but that's exactly the point. Mature for my age. Which means I struggle to make conversation with people around like 18-19 (I'm aware this sounds like a complete I'm not like other girls take, I'm so sorry) but I'm still not like a 27-year-old in some abstract way I can't comprehend yet. I'll probably understand it better when I'm older, but for now it feels like. I introduce myself. I become a person in someone's eyes. They hear my age. I am instantly a different person than I was five seconds ago. That's probably a very insecure view I have of my interactions with other people but yeah that's kind of what is going on.

#personal post #the guy who rejected me asked out a girl who started studying at the same time as me but is three years older #and i am being very normal and emotionally unbruised over this information that hit #pretty much every single thing i am sensitive about #ill get over it but god knows i am going to be dramatic over it #all three of us are friends btw so im not mad at anyone #both of them are very dear to me i just kinda feel like a wet cardboard box emotionally
