Conflicting access needs

I’m literally just venting here, so feel free to ignore me. I understand I’m allowed to have emotions but I don’t want to hurt peoples feelings! The person I’m thinking about when writing this post is very sensitive and has a lot of anxiety, so I really, really, don’t want to shut them down. They mean a lot to me and the thought of hurting them because my brain has decided that talking to them is too much just doesn’t sit right!

You’re 100% not alone in that feeling! Not to mention that you shouldn’t have to feel guilty for getting overshadowed or annoyed by someone else’s behavior. I had to convince myself of that, and it took time, but it was so worth it!

Spent my whole life getting called out and it did suck and made me hyperaware. But I think the pros are greater than the cons still

You should know, as a neurodivergent person that anyone can be annoying. Not like we have different standards because our brains are different.

No dude there’s this guy in my class who does exactly this, he hits every sensory ick I’ve got but I know he can’t really control it because of his own neurodivergence
