[theladwhoisweird]

We might be SNOWFLAKES. YES, WE ARE "SOFT" BUT WE'RE NOT THE "FRAGILE" ONE. KNOW THE DIFFERENCE.

IF WE ARE "OVERLY SENSITIVE" TO YOU, WELL, IT'S NOT OUR FAULT. IT'S JUST WE KNOW WE DON'T DESERVE AWFUL THINGS.

SORRY, WE DON'T HAVE THE SAME HUMOURS, MINDLESS BANDWAGONING BIGOTS WITH ROTTEN HUMOR.

IF YOU'RE COMPLAINING THAT WE'RE COMPLAINING THAT WE DON'T FIND YOUR "JOKES" FUNNY, WHY TELL JOKES THEN? STOP IT!

WE HAVE RIGHTS TO BE "OVERLY SENSITIVE"!

YEAH, J0 K0Y IS NOT FUNNY AND THAT'S IT!

❀ Pansy n°7 = I'm "over"-everything.

To begin, yes, it is tiring. It’s impossibly tiring to be this prone to overwhelming. 

It never was a secret that I am an overthinker. Like my brain literally never f*cking stops, always fuming and reeling. It caused me too many insomnias - the images, sounds, memories and information in my head running and distorting without break. It’s insufferable.

Yet, that's not all. Sadly it is also difficult to survive overthinking on a daily basis. Especially in a social environment. My brain is just… dying. The world feels and seems constantly against me. I always think that everyone around me is watching and judging my every move. Looking out for the small moments when I’ll mess up and be cringe.

So it’s difficult to allow myself to act as I want because I feel like I will be judged and hated either way, never belonging to the unity. Like I am bound to stand out, to be left out by the social group. To try and avoid that, my brain analyzes everything and everyone but often is irrational. Because I over analyze how people see me, what they might think or feel; but in the end I am just projecting my fears onto them way too much. Yet, I end up stuck, struggling to fit in, alone up in my head thinking I’m not interesting, weird, not worth anyone’s time and hated by everyone.

Nice right ? :) 

My mind just tricks me to believe that I am the worst and cringiest person in the world. I have been told before that I question myself too much. In fact, I prefer to - and cannot help but - analyze every situation in which I could be the source of a problem before blaming the other party. I also try to find many excuses for others. Maybe I am too gullible and try too much to see the good in people, or that I’ve been used to caring for others before myself. The problem with this is that unconsciously I expect the same train of thought from others when most times it is not the case. Sadly, it ended up hurting me as it is easy for people to take advantage of my overthinking.

→ Toxic people (narcissistic perverts…) like to make you feel guilty - often through gaslighting - and overthinkers are the pros for that… :/

However, my cousin has been teaching me to find the positive side of those habits that I don’t like. And I came to the conclusion that this habit made me more observant and that when my worries are communicated it makes for good and deep conversations. Apparently it also makes people question themselves more - or so I’ve been told :/.

Therefore I try to be more kind to myself and calm my overthinking by communicating. It’s not easy everyday… But it is so important. As important as speaking about your feelings.

I’m still learning how good it is for oversensitive people like me. I’ve always struggled to speak up about my emotions because I always thought they didn’t have value or importance or even that I was being overdramatic, faking it. it was like I never had a good enough reason to express myself and make people lose time on me, like I’m not worth it.

So I always second guess myself and think about the true worth of communicating what’s bothering me. Because if it’s little and I’m just blowing it or that in the end it turns out I was tricking myself and faking it unconsciously, I’ll just feel ultra guilty of wasting someone’s time and energy. Especially as I strive to make people around me feel good, safe, heard and comfortable (with me). And I know I tend to blow things out of proportion. Like I feel horrible when someone makes a tiny and precise criticism about my work even though I did all the rest well. Because it’s like I disappoint them by not doing good enough. 

The problem with me is that “good enough” has to be as close to “perfect” as possible. Simply because if I put energy in it I should go 100% and nail it. If it’s not the case then why waste time and embarrass myself ? Though I’ve been trying to understand - more to assimilate - that everyone’s 100% is different and even that every day’s 100% is different. And that’s completely okay and normal.

I’ve just been taught at school that you have to keep a high constant of activity even though it’s obviously not possible. 

Disappointing people is one of my greatest fears. I think that might be why I take things too personally all the time. So many times I tear up when someone makes a remark to a group I belong to, and even if I shouldn’t feel concerned I question myself and feel horrible. “I should’ve thought of it.”“I should’ve done it.”“I didn’t do good.” I hardly let myself fail as I haven’t failed much. So I pressure myself to keep my high average by being the most excellent. Yet I can hardly hold on anymore… It’s logical that I end up burned out. I overdid it and now I'm over it.

I am over with life.

At least that is what I think a lot but I’m working on it. I am trying to be done with being over-pessimistic. It’s not over for me, and if it’s not for you either, dear reader… Then,...

Let’s get over it together <3.

I actually wanna write up something about this topic and I quite wanna know how many percent are each the column.

The 2nd option means that even if you got traumatized,you pay no attention to it and you pretend that it has never happened and don't even display any signs that you've ever had it. You could say it's one of those that go like "My trauma made me stronger!!"

PS: These are the types of trauma responses that I have registered so far, I actually never found something official (from doctors or someone close to that),so don't yell at me.

Please share until it expires 💓

WHYYYY THEEEE FUCK did I insist on roasting a 20lb Turkey by myself today?! 🦃

My over sensitive hands fisting a turkey felt like absolute torture. So nasty and pointy inside 😳

Second off I have a bad back and this motherfucker is HEAVYYYY. I almost dropped the thing 3 times while prepping. Putting it in the oven without my back going out was tricky!

Third off, I had to sanitize my kitchen and all utensils after prep

There’s still 5 hours of roasting and basting to go and I’m already flaring and ready for a hardcore nap… but I’m too anxious do that bc I don’t want the bird to burn when I’m asleep 😴

My friends are expecting to have a nice dinner and party a little bit afterwards but I don’t think I’ll have the energy. This is too stressful and I really HATE that I sent myself into a flare doing something I love so much ☹️

Hey guys, do any of y'all use Loop earplugs? What's your feedback on them?

I'm thinking of getting a pair for my hyperacousia; specifically to block out background noise but still hear voices and conversations, so probably the engage model.

Right now I'm using a (quite bulky) noise-cancelling Bose headset for the same purpose, and I'm a bit confused as to how a simple earplug can have the same effect as noise-cancelling technology. But I've mostly heard good feedback about Loop.

Even if you don't use them, I'd appreciate if you reblogged this post! 🙏

My Hypersensitivity Disorder

This desire to change autistic people and ‘normalise’ them is because “it is easier to change the individual rather than society,” says Steve Silberman.

“And when I'm looking at it, it's all coming in really, really quickly. It's like swamping, there's one aspect of my Asperger’s that you may not expect. You see, I experience the world in a very different way to pretty much everyone else. There's like a hyper imagine like a hyperreality. It's not just about seeing, it's about hearing, it's about smelling, it's about tasting is about everything. I mean, there's a very distinct smell of this time of spring, it's quite ripe, it's quite moist. So, if it rained, now, this afternoon, the smell would change quite radically, and it would be much more intense. Sound wise, obviously, is that jet that's going over, I can hear the traffic and the distance, and then you've got the natural sounds that are here. So that was a blackbird rattling over there. As Robin's calling hours of Blackbird calling now. I can hear blue tits going. Oh, just had chaffinch sing. This layer of birdsong going on. This sensory overload is a constant distraction. And it's had a hugely isolating effect on me ever since I was a small boy.”- Chris Packham (Source: https://otter.ai)

Like Chris Packham, I also experience the world in a very different way to everyone else. Truthfully, sensory overload will manifest itself differently in each autistic person. In ‘normal every-day situations that aren’t intense or magnified’ I am normal, but if a situation changes and it becomes intense, it also becomes a challenge and everything becomes ‘3 to 5 times' more magnified.

Cutting my Cloth

I tend to have to steer clear of situations where I experience sensory overload, but around illness or a terminal illness this is where I become unstuck, because any illness becomes magnified, and which is why I then have to make the painful decision not to go in.

Trying to navigate illness

When my twin took ill a few weeks ago, and was later diagnosed with terminal cancer, I tried to do the right thing. Pushing myself forward, I found myself having to navigate a ‘hospital situation’ where through sensory overload, I continually felt panicked and out of my depth. People's illness becomes more pronounced. Where Chris Packham talks about hyperreality, around illness... this is very much an issue for me.

Sensory Overload

In an illness situation in hospital, it’s not just seeing what I’m seeing around the visuals, but it's all the sensory overload distractions, like airborne smells, including the hospital smell and food preparations that permeate the corridors and patients' rooms; the bright lights, the machinery keeping patients well and/or alive, the hustle and bustle of people hurriedly walking to see their loved ones, the echo of their conversations in corridors talking about their loved ones, the look of despair on their faces, their concerns and worries as they continue to talk about their situation, other people's blank expressions, expressions of disbelief, these all contribute to sensory overload.

Sensory Magnification

It is also watching the decline of your loved one, who is beginning to looking sickly, deathly even, which is magnified 3 to 5 more times. All those things, change the way you are able to deal with things around hypersensitivity. instead of physically turning up, working behind the scenes, I making sure my twin and her family have everything they need, so they can continue to look after my twin successfully. I hate how my hypersensitivity makes everything so isolating.

Throughout my life, without knowing about my disability and knowing about my disability now, the constant sensory overload has always been a continual distraction, one that is difficult to navigate and one that is hugely isolating. Around autism it blights and continues to blight my life, but it also doesn't help when there are miscommunications from those who think we need to get past 'sensory issues’ which they should know is impossible to do.

Only someone who is autistic will understand what that really means and simply put, will not judge. Thank you, ‘Chris Packham,' for speaking out on all our behalf.

The Culture of Sensitivity: Have Americans Become Too Oversensitive?

In recent years, it has become increasingly apparent that discussions around sensitivity have taken center stage in American culture. From political correctness to the rise of cancel culture, there is a growing perception that Americans have become overly sensitive about almost everything. While sensitivity to certain issues is undoubtedly important for social progress and empathy, it's worth exploring whether there is a point at which this sensitivity can go too far.

The Evolution of Sensitivity

Sensitivity in society is not a new concept. Throughout history, individuals and groups have fought for recognition and respect for their identities, beliefs, and experiences. These struggles have often led to positive change, as marginalized voices have gained visibility and influence. However, it's crucial to differentiate between advocating for genuine social justice and what some might term "over-sensitivity."

Factors Contributing to Oversensitivity

Several factors contribute to the perception that Americans have become overly sensitive:

Digital Age and Social Media: The rise of social media has given everyone a platform to express their opinions, which has both positive and negative consequences. It has amplified voices that were previously unheard, but it has also created echo chambers that reinforce extreme sensitivity to certain issues.

Political Polarization: In a deeply divided political climate, heightened sensitivity can be used as a weapon against opponents, stifling open debate and discussion.

Cancel Culture: The fear of being "canceled" for saying the wrong thing has led to self-censorship and an atmosphere where open dialogue is stifled.

News and Media: Sensationalist news coverage can exaggerate minor incidents or opinions, creating the perception of oversensitivity.

The Importance of Balance

While it is crucial to respect and consider diverse perspectives, there is a growing concern that excessive sensitivity can stifle free expression, creativity, and critical thinking. Striking a balance between sensitivity and robust debate is essential for a healthy society. Here are some ways to achieve that balance:

Critical Thinking: Encourage individuals to think critically about the information they encounter and to engage in respectful dialogue with those who hold differing views.

Education: Promote education and awareness about various cultures, beliefs, and experiences to foster empathy and understanding.

Freedom of Expression: Defend the right to express opinions, even unpopular ones, while also holding individuals accountable for harmful speech.

Respectful Discourse: Encourage civil and respectful discourse, even on contentious topics.

Sensitivity to important social issues is a hallmark of progress and empathy. However, when taken to an extreme, it can lead to a stifling of free expression and open dialogue. It's essential to strike a balance between respecting the feelings and experiences of others and preserving the principles of freedom of speech and expression. By fostering respectful discourse and promoting critical thinking, we can navigate the fine line between healthy sensitivity and over-sensitivity in American culture.

Ok trying new ways to stim to see if it helps my anxiety.

Loops ear plugs that don’t totally block out sound, so I can talk to people but not hear excessive background noise (I have some but keep wearing them with the super blocking attachment things so taking those off. I don’t really want to buy another pair tbh)

Compression socks/arm covers. Might make these to go with the stim of keeping my hands busy in crowded situations (would crochet these)

Wearing much softer clothing. This one may take a while because ya know, money is tight. And also trying to stay cool is a hard one right now because I’m always over heated, but soft things against my skin and being covered helps me a lot (might try and find like, a really soft like over sweater thing, I can’t remember the name it’s 2am omg why can’t I sleep {im overstimulated})

Wearing pink hued glasses. Pink really relaxes me, so I’m going to try it and see how it makes me feel.

Wearing lemon scented something. Idk what. But smelling lemon really calms me down

CLOVE HYDROSOL

Clove Hydrosol provides all of the advantages of essential oils without intense intensity. Clove Hydrosol offers a warm and spicy aroma with touches of mint that can help relieve tension, stress, and anxiety. It has anti-inflammatory properties and pain-relieving properties, which is why it relieves bodily aches and muscular cramps. Clove Hydrosol, like its source, contains a chemical called Eugenol, which is a natural sedative and anesthetic; when applied to the skin, it lowers oversensitivity and inflammation. It also relieves joint pain, back discomfort, and headaches. Clove Hydrosol may do wonders for the skin, treating acne and reducing the effects of aging.
