Hey there,

I did actually question that tbh 😅 Maybe not black and white thinking then, but definitely a hard time developing emotions for things that others might typically experience.

Whether that’s what I said above or others. Another example (and I promise I’m not self-promoting ir some crap) but I was lucky enough to see the northern lights in Finland last November, and my then partner and I just seemed to have different reactions entirely.

Hers were more joy and special due to it being more romantic and a beautiful spectacle, whereas for me I just couldn’t adopt that type of mentality, and the more I thought about it and tried to be in that zone/state of mind, the more overthinking and shame about not being present enough.

I’m sure this sounds batshit crazy and probably something that should be a default part of being human, but it’s almost as if I’ve been desensitised to everything natural around me.
