I fucking hate when the things that help other people focus are the things that distract me. Like bestie I’m glad that you’re passing this class by bouncing your foot but I’m struggling over here

is there a way to request to have a specific seat you sit in that’s further away from her?

FR!! I hate when someone’s bouncing their leg and it makes the desk rattle or it’s like rubbing against something or shaking a zipper and making noise. Like come on! If that helps you focus don’t make it harder for everyone else to focus too!!

Like I am SO conscious of that and have so many silent stims I’ve developed bc I don’t want to be a nuisance to others! I stopped fiddling with my pen bc it made noise. I will stop moving my legs sometimes if it’s making noise. I don’t tap the table with my fingers/hands. If my necklace is making too much noise in a silent room I will stop messing with it. I have developed like a silent finger touching stim. Or fiddling my toes inside my shoes.

I mean like that’s fine usually as long as it’s not impeding others. Like there was this one girl I knew who always wore a windbreaker and her shaking her leg made that shit loud as fuck and it distracted me so bad. Like I get not being aware you’re doing it, I find myself in that situation too, but it’s the complete unawareness for how one’s actions, intentional or not, can affect other people
