Autism culture is feeling like you're horrible because you're extremely hypersensitive w/ emotions and that leads you to having anger issues 🥲 like I don't wanna be angry like that but I can't fucking help it.

I asked in a small voice if she could explain to me more exactly 'how'.
My whole nature is 'too sensitive, hypersensitive'. She wonders why I'm not exhausted all the time, from being 'so aware, and alert'...'I ought to learn how to switch off and let things go past me.' I asked in a small voice if she could explain to me more exactly 'how'.

I'm so excited to try these out! I'm very sensitive to noise, so I hope this makes it easier to exist in public. Currently, I can handle 15 minutes in a busy public space before the self-injury stims and stress seizures happen.

Literally when I say being hyperempathetic isn't all that great, I mean it.
1: I have literally been made fun of and belittled for it. I've been told I'm too sensitive and mocked/laughed at for empathizing with things that aren't real.
2: It can be exhausting. Even a fictional character can bother me and even trigger the hollow feeling I get from my BPD due to pure sadness.
3: I'm more at risk of having PTSD episodes due to news. I love true crime and all, but it can seriously affect me to my detriment. Being hyperempathetic also added to my trauma with my friends because I'd imagine myself in their shoes and would become so terrified I'd be sick.
4: It's so hard for me to set boundaries. Not purely cause I'm hyperempathetic (partly due to trauma and needing control), but I can't say that my hyperempathy doesn't affect it. I feel bad if I set boundaries. I'm getting better at it though.
5: It makes it so difficult to stand up for yourself and makes it so easy for people to manipulate you sometimes. I don't have a great family, my parents are super transphobic/homophobic and yet I still can't help empathizing with them. It makes it difficult for me to want to cut ties even though I've wanted that since I was in elementary school. I'm good at standing up for myself, but it really plays on my guilt and such because I can imagine how they feel and it turns into intrusive thoughts. Especially knowing when I've made my mother cry cause of our fights. Like I know I was in the right (she refuses to accept responsibility or even fully apologize), but it still hurts.
Being hyperempathetic can be a lot. I'm far more sensitive to things and so I have to work harder to manage it. It's never bad to be hyperempathetic and it's fine if a person wishes to romanticize it that has it, but for those that aren't hyperempathetic, please be aware of how difficult it can get for some of us. It is a lot of extra emotional weight and can be quite exhausting, especially if you're someone with a disorder that plays off that (for me, it's my BPD.)
And people with hyperempathy, especially my autistic folks, it's okay to ask clarifying questions especially around emotions. It's okay to set boundaries and say that you can't handle talking about something. It's okay to take time alone to recharge your emotional battery. It's okay to not always talk about people's problems because you can't handle it. Self care is so important and I wish everyone well. No matter where you are with empathy, you deserve so much love and I'm sure this advice can be put to anyone, not just hyperempathetic people. It's okay to put yourself first, it's okay to set boundaries, it's okay to consider your feelings. You deserve to have your needs met too.

Mental health is so weird. This morning out of nowhere I woke up feeling human again. For over a month, I’ve felt like a ghost or an empty shell. This morning everything was back to being normal and I have zero explanation

Yesterday was a breakthrough…
I am feeling awful since a few months already and it‘s building up an getting worse. My working place is bothering me and our apartment is super small and loaded with things and no opportunity to have real „alone time“.
So I just casually googled „jobs for people who feel a lot“.
I stumbled over the term „hypersensitive person“ and started reading about it.
I am 26 years old, was in therapy as a child and teenager multiple times, and you want to tell me I just accidentally found out wtf is happening to me ALL THIS TIME?!
I was flabbergasted. Suddenly I had an explanation for all the problems in my entire life that would leave me in riddles.
The misophonia, which didn‘t make a 100% sense because it would wary from day to day. Some days I wouldn‘t even hear the bothering sounds and on other days they were agonising and noises were bothering me that weren‘t part of it ever before?
Back when I worked as a hair stylist (it was awful there, true horror workplace) and I suddenly couldn‘t walk anymore because my left foot was in so much pain. I spent months going to every. single. doctor. and there was nothing! It was all psychosomatic probably and the hypersensitivity would explain that too!! That I felt so unwell at that workplace my body started making the foot pain up to keep me from going there ever again.
The panic attacks I‘m getting. Everything.
The more I keep thinking about it, things from my past keep popping up in my head that start making sense just now!! It feels good but it is so much to process right now.
And I learned something else yesterday. How miserable my skills are when it comes to regulating and working with my own emotions. I was never taught how to. How to center yourself, how to perceive your own body, recognising early alarm bells, self-management for allowing yourself to take breathing space.
I stand just at the beginning and I have a long journey ahead of me. But it feels kind of amazing.

HYPERSENSITIVE (a cinematic shortfilm)
So my former classmate who is very talented in filmography made this amazing short film to raise awareness for hypersensitivity and show how it feels to navigate with it. Check it out if you like, it’s only 5 minutes long. (Also, he didn’t ask me to promote it, I just really like how it turned out)
